 Lord Mayor Campbell Newman will make it easier for elderly people to
remain in their own neighbourhoods by establishing a special Retirement
and Aged Care Taskforce, if he is re-elected with a Can Do Council team
on March 15.
The Lord Mayor said the Taskforce would review the town plan and
industry requirements to find ways to establish retirement and
aged-care homes in each ward, and closer to the CBD.
Cr Newman said the Taskforce would address an increasingly tragic
scenario being played out across the city – that of elderly people
being forced away from their neighbourhoods when they could no longer
look after themselves or when they want to downsize into a retirement
village.

In little more than a generation, Brisbane's skyline has been
transformed into a ghastly inhuman wall of office blocks and high rise
residential apartments. Today, much of Brisbane resembles a war zone as
established business districts and neighourhoods are further trashed as

elephant infrastructure projects, all at a horrific cost to our local
and global environment.

 Sign Greg Rowell's petition to help save the Regent Theatre, which is earmarked for demolition.
Even
the developer’s own heritage report says “The Regent Theatre has
historical importance for its continued use as a theatre and cinema,
and the demolition of the cinema box will diminish this significance”.
The report also warns “the demolition of the cinema box will result in
vibration and has potential to physically damage historic fabric”.
