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.

    Complete lack of transparency by government/council with residents of the street and area. Furthermore the consequences of this development will diminish the value of property, community essence and bring crime closer to public spaces such as the Showgrounds, schools and the CBD.

    Concerned for how this will also affect the nearby schools and public spaces such as the Showgrounds and parks. This construction not only affects the neighbouring homes but completely the diminishes the value of an entire suburb; bringing crime closer to the city centre and invading homes and existing business. The lack of care in Urban planning by the council needs to be addressed as it ruining or city already struggling with crime, this is by far not a solution and just shows how out of touch the people in government are.


    Peace

    One or the properties we manage is next to a similar block, and the trouble coming from this property is endless. There are no consequences at all for behaviour. It would be disappointing to have this replicated again.

    I’d be protesting if this happened in my street.

    Low density residential area with long term residents, brining in the high density accommodation will devalue the surrounding properties and decrease the suburb neighbourhood culture.
