Historic Brekky Creek Hotel’s Highrise Neighbour Greenlit

Tower plans have been given the green light next door to Brisbane’s iconic watering hole, The Breakfast Creek Hotel.

Under the approval, the famed 1889-built French Renaissance-style pub’s new neighbour will rise 17-storeys with 199 one, two and three-bedroom apartments.

The development has been given the nod by Brisbane City Council despite opposition from Australian Leisure and Hospitality Group, the Woolworths-controlled owners of the heritage-listed landmark as well as their industry lobby group.
