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.

    This is going to be Just like The Projects.

    Only unemployed, drug addicts and thieves will reside here.


    It will be damaging to the community in this area.

    There has been no local consultation prior to this stage of the application process. I strongly disagree that this type of high density housing be permitted in this area so close to schools and the friendly safe neighbourhood.
