North Bank Brisbane - PETITION
SAY NO TO NORTHBANK!
The National Trust invited both Queensland Government
and the Developer to attend a public debate so that
people could voice their concerns. Both parties have
declined the invitation.
We therefore respectfully ask the Queensland Government
not to proceed with the current North Bank proposal
because of its impact on the Brisbane River and the
City of Brisbane.

Bank Proposal - NTQ Response
The National Trust of Queensland is strongly opposed to
the North Bank Proposal in its current form. The proposal
is grossly over-scaled and further separates the City
of Brisbane from its river and its past.
