Concerns with this development
Excessive Height: The planned 40-story structure significantly exceeds the Logan Road precinct's guidelines, disrupting the neighborhood's visual aesthetics and character.
Increased Traffic: The impact of approximately 787 additional appartments worth of vehicle movements due to this development through a single site entry does not appear to be adequately mitigated.
Inadequate Public Space: Insufficient provision for communal areas limits social interaction and recreational opportunities for residents and the community. Co-oping Watt Park for developer benefit.
Negative Community Impact: Overshadowing effect reduces sunlight and green spaces, straining existing infrastructure and causing potential traffic congestion.
Flooding Risks: Issues with flooding on the site and nearby Lotus Street and the site itself pose threats to accessibility, safety, and habitability.
Drainage Concerns: Potential for the develoment to negatively impact on local drainage systems may lead to increased flooding, property damage, and potential health hazards.
Absence of Local School: Despite including family-oriented apartments, the pending lack of a local Primary School due to the State Government's decision to close East Brisbane State School in its current location is likely to worsen traffic movements from the site.
Misrepresentation of PDA: Claims regarding the Woolloongabba Priority Development Area (PDA) and the resulting change in community expectations seem misinterpreted, aiming to exploit planning regulations for the developer's benefit.
