537 Anzac Avenue Rothwell QLD 4022

Please be aware that McKillop street is a culdesac and by allowing this development to go ahead, alongside the Lifepoint Church, you will be completely contesting our small street. At present, the only access to the new Lifepoint church is via McKillop Street. If you couple that with 44 dwellings, the street simply will not be able to hold this traffic.
Many of our properties are owner occupied and we all have young children. We already receive the riff-raff from Deception Bay going to and from the train station - this is a danger in itself with people being highly intoxicated, yelling, swearing, breaking into our cars and homes, graffiti and drug syringes and alcohol bottles left all down the street.
Now you have allowed the Church to be built - all of the trees have been chopped down. Then you’re going to add 44 dwellings.
We have no one to advocate for us - the street is turning dangerous, the parks are neglected, there are burnouts every night at the end of the road at Stubbons Road and now you want to add even more traffic.
Please consider the current residents of this area. We cannot have more traffic and more lower socioeconomic housing put in to attract even more bad behaviour.
Would you want you children to live here?

Hi,

The street is a cul de sac, and is supposed to be open plan living as we can't get a front fence approved. With the addition of a train station, and also the proposed 44 dwellings, none of the streets features compliment each other. Especially water pressure. A technician working on the pipes within the last 18 months advised that we are connected to another residential area which is why our wat pressure has dropped as a collective, adding 44 dwellings will make is beyond unreasonable.

Also, the area is an NBN FTTN setup, there is only so many nodes, has the developer worked with NBN prior to ensure enough nodes and bandwidth are available? I'll keep a record of this as well for a baseline to show direct impact.

Crime in this street is already horrendous, we have 50+ videos evidence of crime within the last 6 months as a collective ranging from sexual assault, cars stolen, campers stolen, knife fights, attempted break in's, break in's, pedestrian collisions, verbal abuse, drugs be dealt...and you guessed it...all from people passing through. Adding this style of dwelling will only increase crime as shown by various statistics. We've had to go as far as creating a street social media group to alert as many of us as possible when a break in run occurs.

There is no parking available on the street, and against homes without fences being approved...security & privacy risk at it's finest. As well as safety concerns for residents attempting to leave their driveways with cars parked along the street, we also have a recording of a pedestrian being struck by a vehicle due to this, imagine adding to it? I'll keep a record of this also.

We've created a spreadsheet of our own statistics based on the QPS website and also our own surveillance footage which I am charged with updating weekly. If this goes ahead, we'll have a baseline for these dwellings directly increasing crime with prior warning.

I love my paper trails.

I am a resident of Mckillop Street and I am here to second both comments from Julia Herbert and Brandon Wessels.

Before this development goes ahead. I ask that council door knock the street or put out a survey that the residents are able to complete and see the results of. Asking the owner occupiers residents their thoughts on the matter.

The is a cul der sac and has little to no parking as it is for residents that live here now. since the church has moved in on the corner, the street has become super busy and the speed limit is not adhered to by the users going to and from the church block. This proposed dwelling with increase traffic and I’m sure will also bringing even more unpleasant people into the street.

I ask who will be accountable for the increase crime, increase accidents due to traffic along the street.
The home owners of our street do not want this development to happen.
