Two beautiful pre-war homes are being removed from our neighbourhood and an oversized multiple dwelling development is being proposed to take their place. Please help us save our neighbourhood by sending a clear message that a development of this size does not fit in this space. Further details can be found here: https://pdonline.brisbane.qld.gov.au/MasterViewUI/...
The momentum is undeniable now. Neighbours are finally waking up to what is happening to our street.

I grew up in a house like the Albion houses. It was the best way to live. Leave them alone!

I own 3 properties beside this monster and have voiced all my concerns on the council web site and despite numerous offers to meet on site to show them first hand the impact this development will have on my properties and surrounding properties. I have not got a response.
Not even the curtesy of a letter or the offer of a meeting.
The council has no issue increasing my rates every year though.
Good luck

Character homes should be kept as just that, the current wave of over development in Brisbane needs to be curbed. Sure Brisbane needs to accommodate more people moving forward, but building poorly made and designed apartment block is a blunt, poorly thought out solution which only benefits developers, not residence or the local neighbourhood.

This overbearing development will dwarf the surrounding single dwelling houses, severely impacting privacy, and causing noise and light pollution... not to mention the insufficient allocated parking for residents cars and no space allocated for rubbish bins. We are over this Brisbane City Council!

Brisbane City Council should be supporting the restoration and repair of our culturally and historically significant local architecture and neighbourhoods. Allowing developers to remove, erase and replace with ill performing, poorly designed multiple dwellings just further perpetuates our current throwaway, waste culture. These houses are valuable and should be enjoyed by our community for generations to come!

Albion has lost a number of key historical, landmark sites. We must be careful to strike the right balance so that we do not lose the historical charm of the suburb. These Albion houses should remain in Albion - with development to occur elsewhere on the block. This kind of development has successfully occurred elsewhere in the suburb.

Albion and its surrounding suburbs have been recently inundated with ugly cheap high density units. They are being built for a quick profit with no interest in making these communities beautiful and interesting places to live in. Please stop the destruction of beautiful old homes and stop the progression of ugly high density dwellings. The infrastructure of these suburbs is now over saturation point and the continuing development is destroying these communities and making them unlivable.
