What I like about Brisbane is that, despite being a place called home for in excess of 1 million people, it hasn't succumbed to the urge most cities do, that is to line its waterways with faceless identikit architecture. It is rare in cities with a large waterside space that you actually seem able to enjoy that water without having to worry about access. However it does seem now that some part of South Bank is trying to be sold off to make way for....oooh...faceless office space and retail square footage. Inspired planning! I may run the risk of being labelled a NIMBY here, but there are plenty of brownfield sites in Brisbane that could be renovated to offer more office and retail space. Don't go sacrificing a fantastic municipal space that can be utilised by residents and visitors of all ages. If you don't agree with this potential development, register your protest here: Save Our South Bank
