New Farm residents in particular would be happy to hear the news that the unsightly construction site that is the old Village Twin cinemas might soon see some real progress after a year of little progress.
Brisbane City Council has finally approved the Village Twin redevelopment, and local councillor David Hinchliffe (Central Ward) says the application was
held up by council’s insistence that an awning on Barker Street be reduced. “I strongly urged the council to adopt a more reasonable approach about the awnings,” Cr Hinchliffe said.
“Given our climate, I would have thought the more awnings we have the better. Fortunately, officers in council have agreed and the final obstacle to a development approval for the Village Twin has finally been removed.”
