RTI Document No. 464 _ r lIt1"-11 .Edgarange Pty Ltd • -------------• ABN 59 010 272849' BSA 023 823 Submission in Response RECEIVED Draft South East Queensland Regional Plan (On behalf ofEdgarange Pty Ltd) 6 APR Z009 Key Points SEa .t f 6ION ALP LA ~ • Inclusion ofthe Southern Red/and Bay identified growth area within the plan is crucial to ensure existing affordability issues within the Redlands are not exacerbated by a shortfall in available land.. • Developable land is in shorter supply than has been putforward; The "Broadhectare Study" used by council to support their request to have this area removed from the plan does not take into account the significant further restrictions in the form of habitat and other overlays that resulted when the Redland Planning Scheme was introduced in 2006 following the release ofthe "Broadhectare Study". • Developable land is accommodating less growth in terms oflots per hectare than has been proposed; The structure plan submitted by Redland City Council for the South East Thornlands area reduced the usable area from 60% under the existing overlays ofthe 2006 planning scheme to 40% under the revised plan accommodating only 2900 persons rather than the 3600 persons originally put forward. At 8.6 dwellings per hectare this falls well short of the target dwelling yield of 12 per hectare and the intended 15 per hectare detailed in the regional plan. Discussion within the media by Mayor Hobson have projected further reductions ofat least 10% to the only remaining area to be structure planned and developed, Kinross Rd. The proposal to accommodate all required growth in Redland city within the existing urban footprint cannot be achieved due to availability and dwelling yield allowed. • Quality infill sites are in limited supply and are not cost effectivefor affordable housing Availability of existing infill sites within Redland city is very limited. The expense ofbuying and developing these areas makes them incapable of accommodating affordable housing. This has resulted in a number of builders and developers leaving the area. This worsens affordability by decreasing competition and end price discounting. • Many infill sites act as habitat to the endilngered urban koala population. RTIResultant medium RELEASEto high density development of these sites will result in the removal of all usable habitats on these sites. The Southern Redland Bay proposal would revegetate largely cleared areas with little habitat value and provide wide corridors for fauna movement to the neighbouring bushland. • PO Box 181 Capalaba QLD 4157' BSa Old Cleveland Road Capalaba QLD 4157 • P 07 3245 4055' F 07 32451152' www.fitenihomes.com.au RTI Document No. 465 .Edg~geP~Ltd · • _FITENI ---------• ABN 59 010 272 849· BSA 023 823 Submission in Response Draft South East Queensland Regional Plan Special interest - Redland Bay Soutb Identified Growth Area (On behalf of Edgarange Pty Ltd) Part A - Introduction The requirement for a revised regional plan is not in doubt with the existing issues arising around areas of housing affordability and the conflicting requirements of high population growth and environmental management. Part B - Regional vision and strategic directions The regional vision and strategic directions give a balanced vision ofthe future. The plan recognises the need for diverse employment opportunities and sustainable and well designed development. Part C- Regional land use pattern The inclusion ofidentified growth areas within the plan is applauded. The plan recognises the importance ofthe Southern Redland Bay Identified Growth Area (subject to detailed investigation) in ensuring Redland City does not run short of developable land within the remaining 22 year timeframe ofthis plan as is probable given review ofthe Local Growth Management Strategy and the current policies of Redland City Council. Part D - Regionalpolicies Section 1 - Natural Environment Recognition ofthe importance ofthe urban koala population in the plan is supported. Concern arises as to the capacity of the existing "infill capable area" to accommodate the level ofgrowth identified without having a significant further detrimental effect on the urban koala population.
