The companies behind Spring Hill hotel Soho Brisbane are taking legal action over plans for a 15-storey hotel that would overlook their establishment, Roma Street Parkland and the CBD.

Soho Corporation and Starville have filed a notice of appeal in the Planning and Environment Court arguing Brisbane City Council was wrong to approve the Wickham Hill development application in December.

The companies argue the approved height, scale and form of the hotel, to be built at 309 Wickham Terrace, does not suit Spring Hill, would infringe on their land and business, and cause too much disruption during construction.

While the developer convinced the council the hotel design reflected “the heritage identity of Wickham, drawing inspiration from Athol Place, Craigston and Spring Hill Reservoir”, the companies argue it “does not reinforce the diverse architecture and urban form that characterises Spring Hill”.

It is one of several new hotels planned for Brisbane ahead of the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
