Anglicare are back... WE NEED YOU TO ACT NOW!

They have resubmitted their plans for four high-rise towers at Lota House.  Nothing has really changed. They plan to build one less unit (103 instead of 104) in, two 5- storey and two  6-storey buildings.

See the Anglicare and Village Retirement Group application at the Brisbane City Council site (PD online)

See an overview of what they plan here

Tell council to stop this development

• The four buildings will obscure Lota House from public view.
• They will cut down 55 trees – a quarter of the woodland to build them.
• Unless we object, the council will think we want this development to go ahead.

More high rise planned
Anglicare and Village Retirement Group want to build a total of eight towers.  But they are not telling council the full story. The council asked Anglicare and Village Retirement Group to supply a master plan showing the height and location of proposed future buildings.  Anglicare and Village Retirement Group  have refused to do so.

​Anglicare have told us that what they get approval for this time will affect what they build in the future.
