"I continue to have ongoing concerns about the long-term impacts of the proposed amendment on housing choice,diversity,affordable living and market confidence in the Brisbane local government area,"Mr Dick wrote.
He noted the council had committed to working for greater diversity in housing types despite the ban,to support the need for housing choice.
The ban will extend to townhouses and apartments in low-density-zoned suburbs,which Cr Bourke said was to protect Brisbane's backyard and respond to the frustrations of residents whose suburbs were being altered by large-scale development.

Approval for the council to progress the townhouse ban was issued by the minister subject to a ministerial condition that the council"prepare and finalise an evidence-driven,comprehensive,conclusive and detailed housing strategy for the local government area".
The council has 12 months to finalise that research and plan.
Cr Bourke said the council had consulted widely during the ban's proposal.
