redevelopment of Deagon Racecourse.
Likewise, we encourage people to lodge their objections during the normal formal submission phase. This phase could open at any time, and it is crucial that you submit/lodge your objections during this time, to make your submissions part of the formal process
with the Brisbane City Council Development Assessment Team (North).
