    This is a residential area normal family house in the whole area and surrounding area's. Talk about a building sticking out like a sore thumb. No idea why council would think this building would fit in with the area or style of the area. Think coucil should run by the town planners first.Would more suit a area with units and town house. Not residential area

    I agree that this is an unusual location in a residential area and on a busy corner. My understanding is that this is a community facility for people who have experienced trauma and loss. The site is extremely exposed, there's no green screening from the busy corner of Doonside and Knox road and a large school and church is across the road. The area is busy and noisy and can be difficult to access due to commuters on most week days. There's heavy foot traffic to and from the station to the new estate - Bunya. There are cars that sometimes do burn outs on the weekend along this road. The philosophy behind the centre and hard work of the founders is commendable but I do wonder if this is the best location for a trauma centre and place of healing.

    Hope you plant allot of trees to shield the building .
