1. Removal of the three character buildings appears to contravene BCC's own City Plan. The question must be raised as to whether this creates a precedent that undermines the purpose of city plan that others can now exploit.

   It could also create a legal liability for the council from other owners who have complied with the city plan in the area, only to find out they didn't really have to at all.

   Further, this part of Lambert St has suffered through 3 large construction projects including many months of rock breaking. This is proving detrimental to health for some. This project represents several more years of loud contruction noise and many months of rock breaking. Respectfully, when is enough enough? Surely public health must factor in somewhere.

2. This is another bad decision by Brisbane City Council. We have had five years of living in a building site and the construction is still going. The noise, the blocked street and the huge amount of dirt that we have had to endure is grossly unfair.

   There is no infrastructure and very little in the way of transport services to support the massive number of people that these buildings are bringing in to our area. On average it is two cars to every apartment, the streets are already full to bursting.

   Lambert Street was a lovely tree lined street, it is now one big building site. The noise and the dirt have made life miserable. As rate payers do we not deserve better.

3. This development application illustrates that developers believe any goes in Brisbane despite BCC’s city plan. High density should not mean poor planning. The additional 100s of cars into the already busy area will result in traffic chaos, environment degradation etc. There are already another 4 high rise developments on the go in Lambert Street! One tower less in this proposed development would still too much. BCC needs to look at better planning of individual blocks as well as overall street planning. BCC is failing on both accounts to meet the reasonable expectations of rate payers. Good high density planning needs accompanying increase in community green spaces in the same area - where are they proposed? No sign of additional community green spaces in this area proposed to my knowledge, just more concrete towers with insufficient internal green spaces and no additional community green spaces. This poor city planning is increasing the impact of climate change in the city and is inexcusable in this day and age given the wealth of knowledge of building for sustainable cities.
