Renewal Project: Monday Afternoon and Mr Trad

renewal project: On Monday afternoon, Mr Trad announced the "significant urban renewal project" had been given the green light with key conditions."West Village will help set the new benchmark for urban renewal developments in Brisbane and ensure they are set to the standards of a world class city," Ms Trad said in a statement, according to Nine News Australia. She said the decision was based on planning merit alone. The West Village development was called in by Deputy Premier Jackie Trad, who is also the local South Brisbane MP, in September. There were "significant state interests" involved with the development including economic and environmental factors, housing supply and liveable communities, she said. The conditions of the approval include a doubling of publicly-accessible green space, 30 per cent of the site remaining open to the public 24-hours a day and fewer overall apartments. Ms Trad had come under political pressure from green and community groups, who opposed the project. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
