598 Branyan Dr, Branyan 4670 QLD

Dear CEO, I am concerned that the above application, if approved, will lead to the further loss of vegetation and aesthetics of Branyan Drive. Sadly Branyan Drive is being loved to death and its wonderful appeal will be its downfall.

As you are aware this block was only very recently sold.

I therefore urge you to please consider the motives and the final outcome behind this application.

Yours sincerely, Maureen Schmitt

I also strongly support Maureen Schmitt. It is devastating to see the rapid vegetation loss in this area. Only 5 years ago council did not allow me to subdivide 1 of my families 20+ acres into a private residential block for myself, in this very suburb. The justification was that Branyan is an 'emerging suburb' hence no subdivisions would be approved until sufficient amenities and service infrastructure was able to be constructed to support a growing population. In that time we've seen the Habitat estate, the Ridge and now clearing has started further down the road for 'Branvale'. Yet I've seen no real improvement to local infrastructure. Not only is the aesthetic value of the area declining because subdivisions are approved for smaller town blocks, the destruction of well established vegetation is very concerning.
