The High Stakes Gamble on Mount Cotton's Future Developer Stephen Williams is proposing a massive development in rural Mount Cotton that includes a five star hotel, industrial park, and housing complex.
The project has sparked heated debate over the role of state versus local government control, with Williams pinning his hopes on securing a priority development area (PDA) designation from the state.
This move is not unprecedented; the entire urban footprint of south east Queensland is currently under review, with a draft plan expected by the end of the year.
