1. 1)This is a design to be commended for its consideration of aesthetics & practicality: for residents, neighbours & passers-by. However, unfortunately the area has quickly become quite densely developed. Issues with parking & with all kinds of traffic movement preexisted the recent developments, meaning many local residents can not park to access the Railway Station or move easily to other destinations. Another developent adds even more people & cars (parked and moving).
   2)The development fortunately recognizes the several values of landscaping. Some of the suggested plants are native. The others do little for the needs of our native environment, which includes many kinds of animals & beneficial insects. This lack is a growing problem with the widespread increase in apartment & high density living, concurrent removal of mature trees & foliage, & usually replacement with non-native plants.
   3)Conclusion: I would prefer the space to be dedicated to underground parking for commuters, overlaid with a wildlife -friendly green space with trees, shrubs & groundcover suitable to the area, an adjunct to the Witton Barracks project. If this doesn't happen then I implore the developers to still include suitable native plants. Such a decision would have longterm & manifold benefits ( for everyone).

2. 1) Plans submitted show this development for 23,25 Lambert Rd and 186 Clarence Rd is out of step with the Indooroopilly 5 storey limit for this area.
   Comparison with the two new Lambert Rd developments adjacent show it is clearly one story higher without including the height of the considerable roof structure lift and stairs of "the swimming pool and recreation area"
   2) The building shadow will clearly impact light and sunshine for the heritage building next door in Clarence Rd.
   3). Wind tunnel and associated effects are likely considering the height of other new existing and future developments at this Clarence/ Lambert Rd intersection .
   4) Clarence Road is assessed as a so called low traffic area contrary to considerable and increasing use by vehicles and people accessing schools (St Peters). The proposal is to disgorge a further 50+ vehicles with frequent refuse truck movements blocking the pavement.
