Cairns High Density Development Petition

A state government petition is proposed as follows:

Petition to the Honourable the Speaker and Members of Queensland Parliament so assembled. Therefore, your petitioners request the House to:

  1. ‘Call in’ the development proposed at 179 Buchan Street, Bungalow, using state government powers under the relevant town planning instruments, and review the approval granted, ensuring full transparency and proper public consultation.
  2. Reassess the suitability of high-density housing at this location, considering the existing community dynamics, safety, and welfare of current residents, particularly the elderly, who are disproportionately affected.
  3. Implement measures to ensure future state and community housing developments in Bungalow and similar communities are in harmony with local needs and infrastructure, promoting safety, community welfare, and a cohesive living environment.

Your petitioners, signed.

    My partner and I just purchased our property in Buchan St unaware of the proposed development across the road. Would have been good to know so we could have made an informed decision on the area we were buying into and whether it was the right decision for us. We are both in our 70’s and loved the Queenslander houses in that area which the new construction doesn’t blend in with. It will be an eyesore from the getgo. This new building for the residents that live in the area will be permanent. Surely whoever approved this can have a heart and change of mind so that fellow neighbours can have peace of mind.
