On the 11 September 2020 a development application was lodged with the City of Sydney for demolition works and construction of a mixed use development on the site of the Bourbon Hotel, Kings Cross. Local resident John Moyle asked artist Peter Bainbridge to design a poster to protest this development. This poster was subsequently printed and pasted up in and around the Kings Cross area.
