Brisbane streets have been shut down by about 100 protesters, who say they are "fed up" with being ignored by Brisbane City Council over concerns regarding inner-city high-rise developments and a lack of infrastructure to cater for the associated population growth.

The group, consisting largely of locals, gathered at the intersection of Vulture Street and Montague Road on Saturday morning, which saw the closure of surrounding streets and led to trucks and council buses being forced to perform difficult U-turns in tight West End streets.

Greens councillor for The Gabba Ward Jonathan Sri said the significant turnout showed how concerned residents were regarding the new residential developments being considered.

“I think this shows residents are still really concerned about what’s going on in the area. We’re seeing, in particular, residents who have only moved in during the past few years (who) are realising there’s not the infrastructure that can handle the population," he said.
