Georgia Tce, Kalkie, QLD

I want to object to this planning application, having council already overpopulating and devaluing property already in One Mile Crossing due to allowing illegal dual occupancy accommodation to be built.

I do not support this application on the following grounds:

• It will detrimentally impact the amenities in the neighbourhood due to its size and scale.
• It does not represent low density development that is traditional in the area therefore not maintaining the residential character of the area.
• It will significantly increase the residential population of the area by over 300 people. this is well above traditional housing.
• It will introduce significant numbers of transient persons into the community.
• It will significantly increase traffic and cause serious road safety impacts on Morgan Way and Georgia Terrace; this area does not have the required infrastructure or roads for this high capacity housing.
• There is no planning need to locate this high-density housing in the form of multiple units in this low-density housing area.
• We have built our house in a low residency area for a reason. Our expectations are that adjoin developments should also stick to the character and intensity of this development in Our community. We request council to protect our investment and our community and protect the high level of residential amenity in our community. Not only will this detrimentally effect the value of the housing in the area, it will also detrimentally affect the low-density community aspect. There is no need for a development of this sort in a low-density area.
• Council need to think about the local people who have invested in living and working in the Bundaberg Region and protect their quality of life and enjoyment of where they live. It is extremely disappointing after residential concerns regarding dual accompany dwelling that the council take one step further and decide to allow a high populated development in a low-density housing area

This part of Kalkie is a residential neighbourhood densely inhabited by families. It is not an appropriate place for such a large development of this type and is not in keeping with the family spirit of our neighbourhood.

I have several concerns with regards to placing this development in an area zoned residential.
⁃ there is already a high concentration of dual density residences in our area. This creates issues with parking and traffic on already narrow streets. Some of these streets have no footpaths and there are many children in the area. Safety is a great concern.
⁃ The intersections and roads that lead to our area are already in need of repair. Roads with no shoulders. Several cane crossings with lights only.
⁃ There are no plans to improve our public ammenities in the area including rubbish bins, parks, public toilets, or bus stops. Litter is already an issue where quests park there cars at the end of the caldesac.
⁃ Very concerned about parking and where all those vehicles are going to go. It is a common problem around existing shared worker accommodation in Bundaberg and it is not fair to place extra pressure on narrow suburban streets.
⁃ As a family neighbourhood we show each other respect when it comes to noise. I am concerned about the implications of such a large development in a small area.
⁃ I do not understand the need to place this development in Kalkie, it is surrounded by family homes and industry that does not employ transient workers, it is not close to the TAFE or University and the development is not within the CBD for ease of transport. There seems to be far more appropriate areas to place worker/student accommodations within Bundaberg.
Please do not ruin our neighbourhood with this development in this location.
It is a great development but needs an appropriate location both for its success and to ensure our residential neighbourhoods remain residential.
