Despite the public outrage sparked by advertising on the sails of the Sydney Opera House, Brisbane City Council will not rule out advertising on its public buildings.

On Tuesday, Greens councillor Jonathan Sri moved a motion that said: “In light of the recent decision to project advertising onto the Sydney Opera House, Brisbane City Council confirms that it does not support commercial advertising on significant public buildings and monuments”.

On October 9, more than 1000 protestors gathered in front of the Sydney Opera House after the sails on the World Heritage-listed building were lit up with Racing NSW projections.

Cr Sri said the spread of advertising on the city’s streets and public squares was getting out of hand and we needed to draw a line.
