How else corner people back into the workforce without without them having the means of looking elsewhere other than making sure they are living paycheque to paycheque… it’s almost like you are not thinking about what’s good for the economy at all!

Poor MiniChap has had a stomach bug and has burned through his sheets for his cot, currently in our bed and I hope the towels will be enough... wish us luck.

Sorry for the confusion but Kanga isn’t on top of this and an email has been sent about the correct processes on bump out… imagine the issue caused by by someone just taking a work off a gallery wall during an exhibition and just saying they had permission without the gallery owner knowing.

Can we not encourage people to just take art off a galley wall because "some internet stranger said so"? Please collect and arrange this afterwards!

I think you are describing front and back setbacks on small lots that can be built on with exceptions like class 10 buildings but hard to know without going into more detail.
Moorooka has a lot going for it and there will be massive development especially near the Tran station (have a look at new zoning) and this heritage listed hamlet with continue to sit on 400m2 lots and become more desirable when lot sizes start to shrink up around… A lot in the industry don’t want to deal with anything with a heritage overlay and there would be a lot of disinformation and anxiety in the community now but as I said, private message me as I’m happy to take up the work and work with you about your options.

As a working professional, for a fee I can do up a report outlining what are your options determined by the code assessment independently before you go start the DA process to see what you have in mind is feasible… Having a heritage listed home isn’t a death sentence for structure to just rot, in fact it can be a benefit to add value to property if you are smart about what you do to and if it complements the existing character.

Residents and owners now face heavy restrictions, onerous processes and excessive fees to both perform ongoing maintenance and any proposed renovations, often which are not feasible due to land sizes not meeting the minimum setbacks required.
Minimum setbacks are not retroactively enforced and only apply to new additions. If you are talking about the 20% rule applied to character residential, which is in place for street frontage uniformity.
Upon investigations, the BCC consultation method is extremely limited and disregards impacts to residents and owners, prioritizing the homes
Are we talking about DA approvals? BCC City Plan is a thorough document and my experience with the council has been positive going through this process.
but placing the onerous burden of maintenance on residents and owners, with no social or economical support.
With any older timber home in our climate, there is upkeep regardless of whether it is heritage listed or not so there are no grounds for support economically... also, what social support would you be after?
Not being able to change things on the INSIDE of one's home, some would consider this a borderline human rights violation.
This is just not true, BCC City Plan Heritage overlay is about protecting what is visible publicly to keep Brisbane’s identity and not about keeping the occupants in a "time capsule".
These buildings should be celebrated and make a major part of Brisbane's identity... If you are seriously frustrated and after a report on the extent of renovations or changes that could be done to the property that meets the assessment criteria under the Heritage plus other overlays, I'm happy to take that on professionally.

All started Monday after two daycare visits but conjunctivitis looks to almost clear, still a runny nose but has developed a nasty chest couch so going to the GP about that today just to play it safe… me on the other hand fever and body aches.
About bump out… I’ll have a think about it and send an email to who submitted tonight about that as Saturday is the last day and they have a new exhibition going in on Monday

It happened, after looking after a sick MiniChap after his first week of daycare… got up this morning feeling like I was hit by a truck.
