We are a group concerned with protecting the streetscapes and promoting residential amenity in the South Western suburbs of Brisbane.
Attached is a copy of the final published article that Sean and I completed for Sherwood-Graceville. Feel free to circulate this article among WTSAG members. We think the article objectively represents the results from the study and it asks important questions about future public participation efforts in Brisbane.
An impact assessible Development Application has been submitted for 699 Oxley Road, Corinda for a 4 storey, 15 unit development on a 405m2 block.
Details can be found on the council website under application number A003566291
The public submission period is now open until 17th July 2013.
An Impact Assessible development application has been submitted for the Alan Fletcher Research station property recently sold by the Queensland government to subdivide the property into individual lots.

Brisbane Residents United (the umbrella body representing resident groups across the wider Brisbane area) have released details of their concerns on the Brisbane City Council draft city plan.

Hello everyone,
Together with a number of other groups we have been trying to obsorb the proposed changes to the Brisbane City Council City Plan. The plan changes many things and can only be viewed online at the Brisbane City Council's website. The document is also quite complex in trying to understand the interaction between the various rules and "overlays".
Although there are character housing changes planned in the New City Plan document it appears as though the character protections in the Sherwood-Graceville Neighbourhood plan may be retained. Of notes in he documents is that across the city plan demolition of pre-war (1945) houses is no longer considered Impact Assessible, and only code assessible.
What is the meaning of the Interim Critical Route that passes through the core of the Character Housing areas of Chelmer, Graceville, Sherwood and Corinda?

The proposed new Brisbane City Plan looks at reducing the minimum size requirements for small lot developments.
You can read about the small lot code here.
An impact assessible development application has been submitted for 39 Ferry Street, Sherwood.
The development calls for an approx. doubling of the number of units on this site.
The public notification period is now open on this DA until 5-Mar-2013.
Details can be found on BCC's website under application A003485140.
Hello,
It seems the Christmas break has not been a break for developers who appear to be too eager to push well beyond the boundaries of the Sherwood-Graceville Neighbourhood plan.
The developers for the Skew Street Sherwood 5 storey development are taking court action because they are not happy with the BCC rejecting their application based on the Sherwood-Graceville neighbourhood plan. Details can be found on our website.
