    They don't give up do they? Silly me. I assumed that the TRC would automatically reject this stupid proposal out of hand after the outcry over the original DP. Well folks, here we go again. Fourteen units (14). That should do a lot for the local amenity. As I ststed before, That's up to 42, yes 42 wheelie bins to be collected each week. And don't go on about industrial bins. They would be a greater abomination.
    It's time to take the Coucillors to task. The election isn't far away. Let those gravy train ono- representative people explain away why this should be approved.

    Seriously??!!! This has essentially been rejected before - what has actually changed? There is no need to replace two houses with 14 ... please please please do not let it go ahead. There is so much overdevelopment in East Toowoomba it’s completely unfair to existing residents who bought here for nice size blocks, moderate traffic and low road noise etc etc. a development like this not only affects Bridge Street but also Cavell St running behind significantly. It is a “quiet” street and can not accommodate this influx of cars, visitors, bins etc etc.

    You are clearly not aware that the original application was approved on appeal to the Planning & Environment Court. This change seeks only to develop the approved development in two stages instead of one.

  4. Janine Reynell commented

    No Andrew, when did that approval go through do you know? Given it was denied 5 years ago I’d love to know why it’s now been approved as suitable or acceptable under appeal ... this is a disaster for local residents on multiple fronts and completely unwanted over development!

    Well folk I will be out of here soon fortunately......it seems to me this council is omly concerned with ripping more rates out of the community, this proposal so close to the Bridge and Mary traffic lights is com[letely irissponsible......pity more money spent on the footpaths which so many elderly people use would benefit the rates they pay.....what ever happend to the keep East Toowoomba beautiful..........guess that doesn't matter anymore

    I thought the multiple dwellings on existing blocks were supposed to stop in East Toowoomba ? The council just seems to want as much rate revenue as they can get without considering the locals environment ... I don't trust the council are working for the individuals
