  • Upper Kedron Local Plan, Brisbane City Plan 2000 Or Brisbane City Plan 2014
    SUMMARY OF COMMUNITY CONCERNS Objection: The proposed use of land in development application A003905687 is not consistent with outcomes sought by the current Ferny Grove Upper Kedron Local Plan, Brisbane City Plan 2000 or Brisbane City Plan 2014. The expansion of Brisbane’s western urban fringe from 59 hectares of land zoned for emerging communities to 219 represents a significant and unplanned departure from the above planning documents. The Ferny Grove / Upper Kedron Local Plan (2000) considers development of the land zoned Rural: “Land west of Ross Rd will not be developed until the land east of Ross Rd provides the water supply and sewerage connections, only under these circumstances will development in this Rural Area be assessed against the Emerging Communities Area provisions in Chapter 3 of the City Plan”. The approximately 73ha of Rural land is not greenspace, it is largely degraded farmland and is intended to be developed under the Emerging Community provisions (which includes a residential density of 15 dwellings per hectare). The preliminary approval demonstrates that the staging of development will ensure that all land to the east of Ross Rd will be developed and serviced prior to development of the land to the west of Ross Rd. Development of this land is subject to a future development application for subdivision of the land to be lodged and assessed by Council. The land in the south-east corner of the site is identified in the Local Plan to be constrained by habitat and ecological features (private ownership). The land is currently privately owned, and there is no requirements within the Local Plan (2000) or the updated Neighbourhood Plan (2014) that requires this land to be dedicated to Council, beyond ensuring the ongoing provision of “an ecological corridor adjacent to Mt Nebo Road and Brompton Roads will provide connectivity from Brisbane Forest park through Keperra Saddle to Enoggera Military Barracks.

GRADWELL The post-orogenic Samford granodiorite is emplaced in geosynclinal deposits which have undergone low grade metamorphism. Detailed investigation of contact zones has shown that there can be all gradations from hornfels to a granodiorite due to recrystallisation and replacement. During these changes there was a concentration of fernie material, and in the granodiorite this nov. appears as xenoliths. Although it is recognised- from field occurrences that some upward movement of the mass occurred, it is concluded from petrological studies that most of the granodiorite originated, at some level, by replacement of the country rocks. I. INTRODUCTION To the west and north-west of Brisbane, Queensland, there occur geosynclinal sediments and volcanics of low metamorphic grade in which are emplaced a number of masses of rock of granitic character.

  • Extract from Daily Hansard Wednesday, 30 May 2012
    Speech by Dale Shuttleworth MEMBER FOR FERNY GROVE Hansard Wednesday, 30 May 2012 MAIDEN SPEECH Mr SHUTTLEWORTH (Ferny Grove—LNP) (5.49 pm): I rise in this chamber today wrestling with many conflicting emotions. I have a great sense of pride but then I humbly reflect upon the fact that, without the support of so many, my own effort would have fallen short. I feel a sense of relief in our success, but then I am reminded that it is not us who should make that judgement so early. I ponder upon the trust that has been shown in me by the electorate of Ferny Grove. The 244 square kilometres of the Ferny Grove electorate stretches from Keperra in the east to Mount Nebo and Mount Glorious in the west and includes Bunya, Ferny Hills, Arana Hills, Ferny Grove and Upper Kedron, the picturesque Samford Valley, Highvale, Whites Mountain, Camp Mountain, Yugar, Cedar Creek, Mount Samson and Clear Mountain. Each contribute a unique quality to the overall fabric of the electorate. The traditional owners of the land throughout this region were the Turrbal and Garumngar people, whose presence can be witnessed at a number of very well-preserved bora sites throughout Samford and Mount Samson regions. Samford and surrounding valley suburbs are roughly 21 kilometres from the CBD of Brisbane and were settled by Europeans in the mid-1850s. The settlement grew to a vibrant one by the early 20th century largely on the back of successes in banana farming, an industry which continued to prosper past the end of the First World War when returned servicemen were encouraged into the area to assist with this industry’s growth.
