The roading is already overloaded in this area. Adding in another 2400 homes without roading infrastructure is absolute madness!!! Our public transport system is at times unreliable and not good enough. My kids try to catch the bus but often end up stranded. The council is making this place unliveable. Are the councillors sitting in the traffic?? Do the councillors try to catch the bus? Build the roading, and public transport first then the houses. Please listen to the feedback. We are not anti development as we need more affordable homes but we need better roads and public transport to go with the new homes.

That the QLDC wait for the 2023 census figures to consider what areas to further develop. 

That the Ladies Mile Zone should be rejected. 

That the variation is opposed on the basis that:

- it relies on factual errors/ assumptions regarding land ownership for the pump station to service the majority of the masterplan (to be located at intersection of McDowell Drive and SH6) and the active travel link noted on Structure Plan running parallel to State Highway 6 is located on private, rather than public land; 

- there will be adverse effects on the Threepwood owners/ residents and the wider community from the active link proposed on Structure Plan through Threepwood Farm, in terms of farm operations and the Outstanding Natural Landscape; and

- there will be adverse effects on the Threepwood owners/ residents and the wider community from the increase in stormwater flows through Threepwood and into Lake Hayes, causing physical damage and further deterioration to the Lake Hayes water quality and the wetland. 

That, whilst opposed to the Variation in its current form, the submitter recognises the need for additional housing and amenities within the masterplan area and is open to working with the QLDC to achieve a workable solution for wastewater and stormwater management, and an active travel link.
