You may have noticed that the Brisbane City Council's latest newsletter Living in Brisbane September 2010 made special mention of the high level of community feedback on our draft Plan.
 
"Sherwood Graceville residents have their say.
 
The draft Sherwood Graceville Neighbourhood Plan generated a high level of interest and communnity feedback, with Council receiving about 600 written responses.
 
Given the high volume of submissions, Council has revised the timelines for the project so all feedback can be considered and any changes to the plan can be made.
 
Everyone who made a submission will be notified of how Council responds to their feedback. This is expected to be completed in September, with the draft plan being submitted to the Queensland Government for approval in November 2010."
 
It is really pleasing that so many people took the time to give important feedback to the Council. It sends a clear message to the planners that our community has clear views about the future of our suburbs and expects to have those views listened to.

""Sherwood Graceville residents have their say."

And a fat lot of good that did. What a surprise. Unless you count a resounding defeat for local opinion as better than it could have been.
For BCC community consultation is an inconvenient political or statutory hurdle to be leaped over with as little interruption to grand plans, strategic objectives, operational convenience and project delivery as possible.
1,702 new residents now planned for in fact. Not the 202 as claimed in Council.
That's the 1,500 additional residents "estimated" to arrive in S-G from 2010 to 2020 through "natural growth" (unconstrained by this Council, yet endlessly blamed on QG and previous BCC administrations), plus the additional 202 "envisaged" to result from the height and density increases that are now officially "Permitted" and "Planned".
That's a 10% increase in population over just 9 years. Minimum.
