For those who windsurf at Wellington Point, we certainly have not missed the massive concrete wall that has had a negative visual impact on the Point. With the construction of the wall, the owner has not only removed all the vegetation to the east and northern sides of the hill but now is asking Council for permission to build a house which exceeds the 8.5 metre height limit! An objection notice has been up on the property for anyone to send in an objection regarding permission to go over the standard 8.5 metre limit.
If you would like to save the remaining beauty of Wellington Point we would like you to sign the attached objection letter and send it to Council to be on their desk by Tuesday the 17th November, or send me a photocopy of your signed letter or feel free to drop it in our mailbox in Wellington Point. The more objections the better so spouses/partners/parents or children over eighteen can EACH sign a form. You can download the forms for family members and friends to sign although they must be in to the Council by the17th.
The late notice is that I am in the middle of exams so thanks you for your support!

stellar, can you confirm if the address is 3 main road, if it isn't then ignore everything written below.

if it is then here is the application number MC011692

go to this page for all of the details. pdonline.redland.qld.gov.au/Common/Error/PageNotFound.aspx?aspxerrorpath=/modules/applicationmaster/default.aspx

looking the the council website this has been a long and drawn out process for the owners with numerous applications.

looking at their intent the house is situated very close to the retaining wall and will TOWER over the landscape. it's a shocker.

did i mention i think the house is a shocker!

currently 37 complaints on the website.

edit* this is a quote from the planning report.

gothic revival style to reflect the popular england victorian.

what a whopper, you guys had better teach the kids and dad to
windsurf in the coming years,
then you will have the clubhouse we always dreamed of!
(before they knocked down the unused south ramp toilet block of course!

don't forget to add

paragraph A sector 11...extreme obstacle for kitesurfers on a westerly wind, especially the big pointy roof!

Ah well there's always something good that can come out of something bad.

"gothic revival style to reflect the popular england victorian" WTF - that is the biggest load of ****e I have had the pleasure to read in a long time.

yeah that planning report is a joke, the area in question is a heritage area. english heritage is not quite the same as bayside heritage.

sausage your change is noted and welcome. i think i filled stellars inbox last night..... the notes i posted here were the short version.

i get a fine for doing 80?? when i was doing less than 60 in 60 zone



and then the qld government wants me to take roadwork signs seriously? been here 10 years and i can't believe how many times i see this sort of thing

if you were 200 metres away, how would you interpret that?

Haircut said...

se qld is the banana republic of oz and folks do as they please

well i've seen some wacky outcomes over the years. even been on the end of the it doesn't look like fedatuscaranian so we don't want it.

hint hint.....

ultimately it is the decision of the councilors to approve these things. not the planners at council.

local residents need to put pressure on the councilor as well as write to the planning department.
