Okay, so I read up on it (I’m that kind of guy).

Apparently the thing in chocolate that would kill you is theobromine, and it has an LD50 (lethal dose) of 1000mg per kg of body weight. If we’re talking milk chocolate chips, they have 2.4 mg per gram. If you weigh 75 kg (165 pounds) you’d need to eat 75,000 mg of theobromine, which is about 31.25 kg, or just under 69 pounds. A chocolate chip weighs about 0.25 grams, so that’s about 125,000 chips.

However, lots of other things in chocolate are going to make you barf your brains out before you can get anywhere close to that, so the likelihood is you can’t kill yourself eating chocolate.

The best reference I found was this one.

I’m astonished that this development is not going ahead. It’s been in planning for a very long time, but they only actually demolished the former Woolies on the planned site earlier this year.

The area’s State MP had these thoughts on Facebook. Included is a suggestion that the State Government should buy the land and use it to build public housing and a park. He also says:

This whole development has seemed dodgy from the moment Council approved it - they gave the developer major concessions (like removing any requirement for the initially suggested “urban common” greenspace) and we later discovered the developer’s company had donated to the LNP using a loophole in state donation laws.

I think its cancellation is kinda a shame. Yes, if the state government does take Michael Berman’s requests on board then that will be an even better outcome. But this was going to be a large amount of housing delivered to an area that really needs it, and in a way that would have felt pretty integrated into the streetscape.

aquarisces,

You really can get anything at Bunnings huh
