Months after Brisbane City Council gave the green light to a controversial development at a Brisbane bowls club the lord mayor said he did not want the development at all.

On January 24 the council approved RetireAustralia’s plans to build 94 units in a complex ranging from three to five storeys at the Tarragindi Bowls Club site.

The approval was granted despite more than 1800 objections against the development.

Elected Labor representatives across all three levels of government have since supported residents in trying to overturn the decision by way of legal appeal.
