Plan for extra five storeys lands Kangaroo Point development in court

“The assessment team were concerned about the impact the proposal would have on access in the area including inadequate boundary setbacks and balcony sizes, amongst other things,” Cr Adams said in a statement.

While the 15-storey tower application was rejected, the developers can go ahead with the 10-storey version approved in July.

Approval was also granted for two pre-1911 houses on the site to be relocated to Old Cleveland Road in Camp Hill, while another application to relocate a third home to Allen Street in Hamilton is still under assessment.

Kangaroo Point residents launched a sustained protest against the development, attending the final council meeting in December to register their displeasure before the council rejected it.
