1. The proposed location for this development creates a significant safety risk to the residents and members of public visiting the Livvis Place Playground. The playground is extremely popular, however severely lacks parking facilities. This results in people parking along and the surrounding streets. The development will bring 200+ additional motor vehicles along this tiny intersection which is a disaster waiting to happen. The intersection of Lakeview Promenade and Aqua St is nowhere near large enough to cater for the significant increase in traffic flow.
   Additionally, people who purchased land from Stockland in this area did so under the assumption that they would not have a 7 story tower looking down into their backyards.
   This development is simply not necessary for the area and should not be approved to proceed.

2. We are moving from Sydney to Newport to escape the mass population issues and will be very disappointed to find a proposal of this nature on our back door.
   The streets and land sizes certainly are not suitable for such a development. I bought into here thinking it would be a lovely low rise beach development.

3. Newport is such a wonderful place, why do they have to spoil it with so many high rise buildings. We have lived on the Peninsula since 1980 and Newport for the last 15 years where the traffic wasn’t too bad on Boardman & Griffith Rd, but as it is the traffic is horrendous so imagine what it will be if Stockland have their way. I am not against progress but there is a place for everything.

4. Residents of Newport/Redcliffe voted this council in on the understanding the current town plan would be followed as is. Developers constantly challenge the plan. The residents should be able to trust the council to abide by the current planning laws and not be put in a position of having to write to council over these changes lest it be thought we approve of them. Why can't we just stick to town plan as was voted on?

5. Boardman Road / Klinger Road / Anzac Avenue intersections have been a major congestion problem for years and there does not seem to be any solution to alleviate this. ( Opening up Nathan Road sorts a separate issue ) It beggars belief that an application should be considered that will make the situation worse. We have paid for a strategic plan so why change without giving people a say on it. Allowing the go-ahead here sets a precedent. That area is a community style area and parking bays would be welcome there

6. There is a need to keep some areas low density in Redcliffe. We already have so many high rises in Clontarf and Redcliffe and Scarborough which are not filled to capacity. The streets in Newport have not been built with expansion of population in mind. They are at capacity now and wont cope with a larger influx of commuters. It would be a real shame to block residents' breeze, views and sunlight with a development of this size in what has always been the quietest suburb in Redcliffe. Let's not ruin what makes Newport a unique part of Redcliffe city.

7. We have a town plan which has been put forward for our future and the future of our community. We need to know that we have an elected Council that will abide by the plan and reconfirm to developers what can and cannot be built.
   Increasing the already high density living and adding to the road congestion does not equal an increase in living standards.
   Traffic congestion in the Boardman Rd/ Anzac Ave/Nathan road is already significantly worse and a visual blight in our area. Don’t allow proposals that will make an already poor situation worse.
   This represents an opportunity for the Councillor’s to be seen to support the local community and be heard when rejecting this unwanted developer’s proposal.

8. When purchasing my land with Stockland, the proposed high rises were indicated to not be as tall as the retirement living building. Given minimal parking around the area and the amount of intersections/ streets with tight roads for traffic. Upping the amount of able living options in an already populated area will cause more issues of not only traffic but accidents.

   Had this plan been indicated to be more than originally proposed, I would have strongly considered not purchasing within this area. This is a perfect opportunity for council members to fight to avoid similar issues in the North lakes precinct.

9. Stocklands are destroying the area wanting to put in all these high rises. The Retirement Appartemtns were originally only meant to be 4, but was somehow put up to 6. They are any eyesore and don’t fit with the area. Now Stocklands are continuing to want to make changes, shoving in as many dwellings as they can. The streets are narrow houses on top of each other, trying to divide blocks into 6, 4, 2 etc etc. when will it stop. Was walking around the estate the onther day, you already have houses where roofs overlap, houses guttering roughing, heaven forbid if a house caught fire it would just continue into the next house. The council needs to stop this. We moved to the area because there were no high rises, we don’t need another Scarborough or Redcliffe and definitely do not need another Caloundra

10. Totally oppose this development. This is too many dwellings for such a small space and is a contravention of the MBRC planning scheme.
    I do NOT want this development to proceed.
    We are a family with 3 small children and such a huge increase in car numbers near so many families and children is WRONG.
    This development must not proceed.

12. I oppose this development. Our streets are already congested and not wide enough for residents. Allowing the existing MBRC plan to be altered to the extent proposed is wrong. The traffic alone will be markedly increased. The ambience of our family orientated neighbourhood will be altered. We don’t want to end up like parts of the Gold and Sunshine Coasts with streets clogged by cars unable to park.
