A residential building with a 120-metre waterfall in South Brisbane has been given the green light.

Brisbane City Council received the development application from Aria Property Group for the 33-storey tower on April 5.

The Aria Property Group development at South Brisbane has a waterfall running down the side of the building.

The 33-storey tower ran into opposition during the assessment phase as residents were worried the design of the tower proposed for the 2124-square-metre site was unsuitable.

“With the height of the building, substantial water spray impact will be created on the footpath and associated areas,” a submission by West End Community Association said.
