5 Boom Court, Birkdale QLD 4159

We strongly object to this development proposal for the following reasons:
- as the proposed development is on the outside elbow of the street and has minimal street frontage any additional on-street parking will further impact traffic congestion and chaos to an already hectic corner. There is already minimal on-street parking and it is a blind corner which is always littered with cars.
- the appeal of Aquatic Paradise has been large blocks, this lifestyle will be compromised if blocks are divided and vehicle and marine traffic is increased.
- This would set a precedent for other similar developments on wet blocks in Aquatic Paradise and accordingly, the very reason people moved here will be eroded.

The application is strongly opposed:
-The Redland City Plan (Table9.3.4.2.1) limits street frontages in this area to 10m whereas the application proposes 6.8m for each of the two blocks in the submission.
-The property in question is located on the outside curve of the road into the court and street parking at this property at this time poses safety issues for traffic traversing the street. When vehicles are parked at the corner on both sides of the street, the situation becomes chaotic with little or no view towards oncoming traffic. This development application proposes potential increase in parking and traffic flow at this point in the street, hence decreasing safety at that location. This unsatisfactory situation will be significantly exacerbated for many months during demolition and building construction should this application be approved.
