The nimby's are bitching about the 8m setback between the towers. Their body corp has formed a subcommitte to oppose this tower.
Their claims are ridiculous - suburban houses and many many many many 3-4 level apartment buildings have much less of a setback - in some cases only 1-2 metres.
But more importantly, we've since had another(!) application lodged on the same bloody block around 200m!!

SOUTHBANK could soon be the precinct that skyscrapers killed, residents fear, with planning applications lodged for three giant towers - one almost as tall as Eureka Tower, Melbourne's tallest building.
Planning applications have been lodged in recent weeks for a 71-storey tower with 592 apartments and 566 car parking spaces at the site of the Queensbridge Hotel, Southbank.
The proposed Queensbridge Tower would be the second-tallest building in Melbourne at 275 metres.
A stone's throw away at 25 Queens Bridge Street, an application has been lodged for a 66-storey mixed-use development and at nearby 54-56 Clarke Street an application has been lodged for a 56-storey mixed-use development.

Red = Prima
Yellow = QBH
Blue = 25 Queensbridge St (still not seen a render)
Purple = long term site, all owned by Mirvac - car park we used to take photos of E's construction from + the 3 original office campuses which are now approaching 20 years old. Theoretically a same sized building as Eureka can be built here... muahuah
