Four Brisbane developments are under the spotlight as City Hall assesses a trade-off: relaxing restrictions â including building heights â in return for developers improving public spaces on the ground.
The first two projects bookend the Merivale Bridge at South Brisbane and North Quay. The other two are a commercial development at 144 Logan Road, Woolloongabba, and the proposed $450 million refurbishment of central Toowong.
The developments are dubbed âthe buildings that breathe,â in the Brisbane City Council planning report.
