Are there any plans for connecting Eagle street from Redbank to Collingwood Park? It's annoying not having a more direct route without having to go through either Town square at Redbank Plains or through the roundabouts at Collingwood Park state school. The road would bypass traffic and cut 10mins

Here is the perfect example of what is happening to our suburb Bellbird Park as people attempt to cut up a lot into smaller lots. Profits at the expense of others amenity. Vote against this and other such unsuitable applications with a resounding NO.

Material Change of Use - Dual Occupancy

Dual Occupancy is not wanted In Bellbird Park. It is yet another nail in the Coffin of our once beautiful and unique suburb .Stop this and all requests to sub divide by another name. Making money should not be the driver of development in our area ,reject this application.

Difficult to be polite when you are witnessing the destruction of our suburb by a thoughtless council hell bent on uncontrolled development .We will continue to play the councils little game whilst we watch Bellbird Park disappear .This application should be placed in the bin where it belongs

Minor Change - Reconfiguring a Lot - One (1) Lot into Four (4) Lots

The Developmenti Ipswich website information is incorrect. This application is actually for the property next door to this at 86-88 ROSEMARY STREET, lodged by M SALAZAR PROPERTIES PTY LTD

I'm sure the owners at 90-92 are as horrified and concerned as the rest of the community at the constant infilling that is happening in our once leafy and green suburb.

We feel these sorts of developments reduce the amenity and liveability of our area and reduce habitat for our native wildlife, adding yet more cars to an already busy road system, with no public transport options.
We see wildlife dead on these roads due to the volume of cars and the speeds people travel. We would like to see traffic calming, not additional traffic.

Bellbird Park is undergoing the death by a thousand cuts of our trees and potential for habitat gardens. When do we start valuing trees the way we value property?

Material Change of Use - Community Use (Child Care Centre)

Please, please tell me there will be adequate parking for pick ups and drop offs and staff. As I have complained about previously, due to staff of the AEIOU having to park in the street, we have no vision whatsoever of any traffic on Cochrane Street, when exiting our driveway. It is an extremely dangerous situation.

Material Change of Use - Business Use (Medical Centre)

Why does this property need to become another doctor medical since there is one directly across the road and i think the traffic intersection near by really needs redevelopment itself like a round about as the lights make built up traffic from over the bridge and the lights down at the other intersection near hungry jacks and bunnings causing so much congestion morning and afternoon, plus there would go yet another valuable rental property to house a family.
I seriously think there should be a no answer to making it another medical centre unless the one across the road wishes to relocate

All traffic from this site and all the other high density complexes on River Rd must pass down Mary St between the TAFE and child care centre if traveling to Brisbane or to get to local shops and to the Warrego Hwy.
Mary St is congested and both sides of this street are lined with parked cars already.
In a disaster, such as flood or bushfire, people are trying to get out with horse floats etc.
The lack of access and alternative routes here is already dangerous without adding up to 41 more residences.

Reconfiguring a Lot - One (1) into Twenty (20) Lots with a New Road and an Access Easement

Interesting as I use to live in Cambridge Street some years ago and there was an application to build on this block and the block has underground springs and reactive black soil and the council was advised of this and did not approve the application. SO surley they have a record of this previous application. The concrete house slab my house was built on actually moved and the centre was higher than the rest. We only found this out when selling the house and the new owner did a building inspection. Fences also moved and rotted due to the damp black soil movement. The previous owners of this block actually put black plastic down (under ground)
and underground pipes behind the fences of the houses in Cambridge Street to channel the water down to storm water drains. but the underground springs are still there. I believe the previous application was for a retirement villiage.

Ridiculous, another blocked chopped up. Please don't let this area be turned into another Springfield, Ripley etc. we bought here for the lifestyle, large blocks and wildlife. Which now seem to be allowed to be chopped up by people who don't even intend to live in the area. Just buy chop and sell. One of our poor neighbours, who have lived in there house for over 15 yrs is now overlooked by someone who did just this . Someone Bought the house, chopped the block up, sold and moved on. They don't care because they don't live here. It needs to stop

We have not purchased in this area to simply chop up blocks for personal financial gain changing it from the pleasant suburb that it is into an overpopulated estate. There has already been too much for my liking already.
And I wonder if the development at 76-78 Addison Rd had any council approvals. I do not believe the 24m long awning against the western fence would have approval for one thing. The building is an eyesore and is already falling apart. I would question the qualifications of the workers who did this build.

Camira must not turn into another amorphous housing estate. This sort of sub division must be stopped. Where will be the infrastructure if Camira becomes densely populated.

Minor Change - Reconfiguring a Lot - Three (3) Lots into Forty-Two (42) Lots Material Change of Use - Single Residential

Another subdivision purely for maximum profit and no consideration for actual quality of life for the existing neighbours, nor the proposed residents. This type of development does not solve the housing crisis, it just makes a future ghetto. I would be willing to bet they only allow for 1 car per residence, yet most residences in Ipswich have 2 - 3 or more cars due to large and/or culturally diverse families. The previous application on these lots was for 78, thank goodness the council denied that application. Let's hope they deny this one for a more sensible and sustainable density of housing.

As a local resident, I would like to share my perspective on what it is like to be living in close proximity to the company Accu-tech Piping Systems. Over the last few months, the sound levels emitting from the plant have been unbearable. The 24 hour drone of a generator and now a large chipper in use all day has been horrific. I have had to, on many occasions leave my home to get some respite from the continuous noise pollution. All day and all night, I have been trying to cope with this level of noise. Even with the windows closed and music on I can still hear it. The banging and crashing coming from the plant wakes me most nights. I wouldn't be exaggerating if I said it is affecting my sanity.
The thought of this application being approved in an area so close to a residential area ,with residents who have already for many years been dealing with noise pollution from across the river, is absolutely unthinkable.
I know I am not the only family to be adversely affected. My husband for one, has been hospitalised due to stress from having to deal with noise pollution coming from Redbank Motorway estate.
Please consider the local residents and do not allow this application to be approved. This 24 hour/ 7 days a week noisy manufacturing plant has already proven to be problematic to locals and is completely unsuitable for the surrounding area.

After completing my own due diligence and reading the original application for development of this property I have noted many inconsistencies with the approved operation.
Part 2 section 4 does not make any mention of a waterway (which is being polluted by industrial run off and has clearly destroyed part of the Brisbane River bank.
Section 8.1 o DA which includes material change of use was not completed by attaching DAForm 2.
Acutech, have failed to disclose some basic information in there original DA, which is now causing great distress to myself and my family.
Personally it affecting my family’s sleep, and mental health.
As a shift worker, the constant grinding of plastic pipes (which was never mentioned as above) makes it nearly impossible for me to sleep in the day time.
My daughter is home schooled due to Her ASD Level 2 diagnosis, and cannot concentrate when there is constant grinding well above a normal decibel noise.
We moved to this property primarily for my disabled daughter to have a peaceful life and obtain an education to be able to contribute to the community.
This will not happen if Acutech continues its current non disclosed practices.

The continual noise generated from this site is absolutely atrocious. It is severely affecting our quality of life. The lack of peace due to this noise pollution is absolutely unacceptable.

Even inside the house with all windows closed, it is impossible not to hear.

I am completely opposed to this application. Noise levels are totally unacceptable. Noise has escalated significantly in the past month. My health has been affected including total sleep deprivation and stress. I can not even open a window to my home for fresh air without being bombarded by noise pollution specifically coming from ACU Techs workings

To date, the manufacturing processes used by this company have been creating extreme levels of noise pollution. This includes Generator noise & “Banging and crashing” at all hours of the day and night.
On most week days, there is also what sounds like a very large Diesel woodchipper. Starting at 9am you hear a very loud diesel motor fire up, and throughout pretty much the whole day you can hear the woodchipper pelletizing what I guess is the plastic raw material.

What makes matters worse, it appears that this manufacturing plant is set up in an “Open fronted” building which opens out to the north?
All of the above noise pollution can easily be heard many hundreds of metres away inside a house

NOTE: I should also highlight the fact that particularly the woodchipper noise is a relatively new development, and that the noise report (Measurements taken Mid Sept 2024) makes absolutely no reference to the woodchipper - See page 13, table 4 of Noise report tabled by JT Environmental.
I believe this would render the existing noise report null and void, and would make the suggestion that the ICC engage an independent noise consultant to ensure that “Real world day to day operation” figures are used.

Id like to add that on a personal level, these constant/excessive sound levels have already brought upon both mental and physical health issues to multiple residents, who in some cases cannot even sit outside their house or enjoy family time within the home without being hammered by the noise generated by the Accutech manufacturing process.

Im summary, the wider community and I feel that a 24 Hour a day / 7 day a week manufacturing plant such as this should not be given approval to operate in very close quarters to a residential area.

We absolutely oppose any further works on this site.The ongoing 24hr operations, at a totally unacceptable noise level is intolerable.Constant noise from generators, tools and pipe grinding continue to disrupt our lives on a daily basis.Our sleep patterns , mental and general heath, standard of living on a daily basis is completely compromised by this company.
The damage caused to the riverbank by the water overflow is also unacceptable.The disgusting mess that has been left of the riverbank is a total eyesore. We note that noise monitoring was done mid September PRIOR to all the noises ramping up- including the most intrusive sound of the pipe grinding.

My husband and I are in the process of building our new home on land which we purchased over twenty years ago.

For the past 10 years we have been landscaping and improving our 2.5 acre block at 60 Landing Place, Moggill in preparation for the day we decide to move there.

It has been incredibly distressing to say the least to be there during the day to check on construction, and hear the incessant thrum and crashing from the factory across the river. The noise level is horrendous and it doesn’t stop, even into the night.

The main reason we purchased this land was the incredible serenity it offered. That serenity has been totally destroyed by ACU Tech.

Not only has the noise from this disgusting company created extreme discomfort to us and our neighbours, it has also severely damaged our property values. The mental and physical impact this has placed on the residents is significant to say the least.

The damage done by their outlet into the river is not only incredibly unsightly, it is an environmental disgrace. Is the Ipswich City Council looking the other way?

This is outrageous- I’d welcome anyone to arrange time to be on our beautiful riverfront properties to hear the noise 24 hours a day/7 days a week, the same noise that affects our sleep, our children sleeping and animals including dogs and horses. There is no part of the day that our properties are not impacted by significant noise that affects our daily lives. Not to mention the absolute disrespect for our river and land. No attempt has been made to discuss with the surrounding property owners about how this may be impacting them. Many complaints have been made previously to this business with no action taken.

This is a significant change to the current designated use for this property. Its current intended use is for storage which is a very low impact to surrounding residents. Changing this property to now be a plastics manufacturing facility will create an additional Oder and Noise pollution. This estate is already causing excessive noise pollution disturbs our everyday lives and is creating mental and physical heath issues that I am already receiving medical treatment for and concerned that allowing this change will only make this worse. It is very obvious that there it a basic lack of understanding of just how much this material change if use will affect nearby residents and should not be approved.
