We as the Redlynch community write with serious concerns about the proposed development adjacent to St Andrews Catholic College and opposite Redlynch State School. Having read the details are utterly devastated at the proposal to subdivide this beautiful lot of land into 100's of tiny residential lots.
It is fair to say that there has been substantial development in Redlynch over the past 15 years. Much of which has been welcomed by the majority of Redlynch Residents. However, we as a community now feel that there are more than enough small to mid size blocks offering a wealth of family accommodation in the area. To now propose a development of lot sizes between 300 and 500 sqm is entirely unnecessary. Some of our local residents reside on acre blocks which are not eligible for subdivision. Yet only 2kms away, the proposal is to now subdivide into tiny residential blocks. Should a proposal be considered we would request that it be for larger lots affording larger houses with potentially larger price tags, ensuring Redlynch maintains a balance of accomodation and a balance of socio economic groups. This would have the additional benefit of placing less strain on local infrastructure such as parking, roads, access bridges and local amenities such as parks, playgrounds etc. Given the current transport infrastructure provides no passenger transport to the proposed area, along with the fact that access to Cairns CBD is already overwhelmed from this part of Cairns, we feel that subdivision at the volumes suggested will only serve to pose more difficulties and strain on access to and from this area.
We would urge council to reconsider the proposal in its current form. If any development is to proceed please give due consideration to lot sizes above 800m2. This would be more in keeping with the area upon which the development encroaches and would have a substantially lower environmental impact all round.

You also must realise that the water pressure further down the valley is already well below the councils own minimum requirements Add another 100 homes to the already strained infrastructure and council will have to tank in water by truck - ask us why we know!!!
The traffic to both schools is already crazy and dangerous i cant imagine what it would be like if this subdivision goes ahead.Bigger blocks yes, that's what i think all of Redlynch should be, nice big blocks with a country feel. Stop jamming houses into the ares PLEASE.
I agree that the lot size should represent the area, a 800sqm restriction should be in place, we are not the city centre, we are a family developmental area where children can enjoy the beauty of outdoor play in their own back yard.
The valuable land there should be used for community facilities like a swimming pool for the heat of summer, gym facilities and a cafe precinct - not another bunch of high density housing without the roads to support it. Redlynch needs more for the people that are here, not more people...
this is a Known flood plain and the local schools are basically at capacity with waiting lists... are we getting another local school to go with this?? Are you guaranteeing insurance for home owners/renters/investors when it floods?
Do not build this industrial park in pristine rainforest. If not for the sake of the residents that live in the valley then for the flora and fauna that has been here since the beginning of time.
Residents have purchased properties in accordance with standards and regulations administered by CRC. The zonings, restrictiins and fees. To change the rules, standards and decorum by which accepted and pay rates should be maintained or compensated. Apart from proposed developments that are, by resident objections, apparently unacceptable, CRC will benefit by increased rates and fees at the expense if those they have deceived.

To place so many tiny box houses in such close proximity to schools that are already full is simply irresponsible. I would also like to know who is footing the bill for the obvious and massive increase in infrastructure, bet your bottom dollar it won't be the profit before integrity developer.
