Pallara is the last council-approved masterplan in Brisbane - means booming residential area. It should have its own shopping center for future proof (not even future, it's already a need for current residents). As far as we know, the owner (Queensland Investment Corporation - state owned) of Forestlake shopping center do not want the new shopping center built near it - actually it was 7km+ away from Pallara. So it's a conflict to their interest everyone knows. However, it was a sacrifice for thousands of current and future residents if no shopping center and lack of infrustructure, shops, childcare, bustops, etc.
Pallara has hundreds of new homes being built now and there are no bus stop, not enought green space, and the road is lack of service as well. It will be a very good surburb for large population in the future only if local shops and road service are to be approved.
