BrisJonno - such a valuable contribution for a first post! Thanks heaps for that information. Very much appreciated. Welcome to SSC

Now I'm excited about this.

JVogt · March 18th, 2009, 07:16 PM

Yes, thanks BrisJonno. I've been wondering about this one recently so it's nice to hear it hasn't faded into nothingness.

NCC1701D · May 4th, 2009, 11:47 AM

Anymore news on this?
Is it still going ahead?

Mr MacPhisto · May 5th, 2009, 11:11 AM

^Heavy equipment is on site (the old servo) and it looks like they are going to demolish the strip on the North-Eastern side of the round about.

Anthony John Group still haven't replied to the council with the new plans. My guess is that they are modifying them again to suit the discussions coming out of the new eastern corridor plans which include Buranda, Stones Corner and Coorparoo. Since this site is smack in the middle of all this, it makes sense that some delays might occur due to these new local planning studies.

As for the excavation and demolition occurring at the old service station, I think you'll find that this is actually for the start of the eastern busway project, not the Buranda TOD.

AJG have indicated that they want to be excavating at roughly the same time as the eastern busway, but that could be anywhere in the next 6 to 12 months.

Marty_ · May 6th, 2009, 06:14 AM

The Eastern Busway stage 1 is imminent... They really are set to move full steam ahead. The project is set to start by mid year (only 1-2 months away).

Mr MacPhisto · May 7th, 2009, 10:32 AM

Makes sense. Cheers

BrisJonno · May 26th, 2009, 04:56 PM

Just checked on the council application website. PB have withdrawn the current application and are proposing to submita new one for the site in the near future.

What this means is anyones guess. Does anyone have any further information on what is going on with this project?

BrisJonno · May 26th, 2009, 05:03 PM

Looks like the tunnel alignment for the eastern busway under the site has been modified significantly, this is the most likely reason for the need to submit a completely new development application for the site.

Marty_ · May 26th, 2009, 05:15 PM

How frustrating. I can only hope that's the reason, and there isn't some massive down-scaling of the development!

Though I am surprised at the tunnel alignment changing when work on the Eastern Busway is as good as begun? Surely it's a bit late for major design changes?

neilo63 · May 26th, 2009, 10:53 PM

With Phoenix being postponed and now this i would say that Council have had strong talks to the major landholders in the area. I would guess that BCC want them to re lodge once the local plan comes into effect or at least is finalsed, who knows there's probably incentives for developers to do this, like lower head works charges and code assessable applications.

Trawler · May 27th, 2009, 01:12 AM

The Phoenix DA process has not been postponed. The latest amendments/clarifications to the DA submitted by the developers are currently under consideration by Council according to the public record. I know someone who works on the team and they have been working hard on the proposal for some time now.

There has been no significant change to bulk/density since the original Phoenix DA, in fact a tower has increased a level.

However, when development starts if they get approval is anyones guess.

Marty_ · May 27th, 2009, 03:25 AM

Can anyone confirm when the new local plan is coming into effect?

KJBrissy · May 27th, 2009, 03:26 AM

It'll be a while. They've only just started.

Probably about 3 years.

Marty_ · May 27th, 2009, 03:30 AM

ooookkk.... Hopefully they're NOT going to be waiting around!

Trawler · May 27th, 2009, 07:51 AM

Any idea where we could find the revised Busway alignment? Latest I can find on the net is dated 18/05/07

The DA is still on for Buranda TOD. Im working on the design team. Just some tinkering around at the moment. Yes the busway did realign a little, but did not impact the scheme (except for the basement). Building heights remain at 100m

***BrizzyChris*** · May 28th, 2009, 07:39 AM

You're back! Been far too long since we've had your input.

Awesome news. Thanks for your input. Any other newsworthy items you may be able to divulge are welcomed

no pressure...

Well I can tell you from inside the architectural community that times are very tough. There were recently 2 positions open at Wilson architects, over 100 applied. I have friends losing their jobs in other architectural firms every couple weeks. As an indicator of the times, last year I was working on projects to the value of $50million to $1 Billion dollars and now im working only on house renovations.

With regards to Buranda, all I can say is that the realisation of this project is still years away, there is just no money at the moment.

On many projects fees are not being paid, developers are going under. We've had it so good for the past 6 or so years, that people got a bit too complacent. Its gonna be a very dry year in terms of new project DA's.

Dubai, once the architectural playground is now a wreck, architects leaving in droves to return to Australia, dumping their cars at the airport.

Nertheless those with money (ie not loans) are still quietly pushing on with planning for new projects.
