A proposed 34 hectare reclamation of the Moreton Bay Marine Park

June 6, 2023

Below is a link to a Guardian article by Graham Readfearn on the proposed reclamation of the Moreton Bay Marine Park. An excuse to build a ten-storey township out to sea.

Walker’s own Environmental Impact Statement confirms that: ‘[it] will have significant impact on migrating, endangered shorebirds and wetlands of international importance.’ The revised plans also show a significant reduction in new […]

Whether Redlands ends up resembling a cross between Inala and Surfers Paradise – depends on things we choose to do or choose to ignore TODAY

December 6, 2016

If this development application gets the go ahead it will set a precedent that could be repeated again and again around the Redlands. This is your last opportunity in 2016 to express concern about the scale of unsuitable residential development that’s occurring across the Redlands. It’s not just cranky neighbours that are upset – a […]

Stopping the land reclamation for Toondah apartments is a no brainer.

June 4, 2016

What is undecided is what to do about the harbour. I’m going to argue that Toondah Harbour doesn’t need renovating, it needs relocating.
