To Mr Bart Mellish MP, State Member for Aspley
We, the undersigned, oppose the proposed Carseldine Urban Village development for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to the following:
- The proposed development will result in the loss of 7.5ha of public open space and the removal of remnant vegetation and loss of associated wildlife;
- The proposed development will increase traffic congestion on local roads;
- The proposed development will result in the major loss in area of playing surfaces available for future recreational and sporting activities;
- The proposed development is incompatible with the existing detached residential housing adjoining the site;
- The proposed development does not seek to reduce the shortfall in available car parking for the government precinct and the resultant overflow of car parking on nearby streets; and
- The proposed development has potential to significantly increase flooding in Beams Road and Balcara Avenue.
Therefore, as the elected Representative we urge you to STOP the Carseldine Urban Village Master Plan from proceeding.
Principal Petitioner: Chandra Muthu, Secretary,

I have spent the last few weeks walking the site and talking to neighbors who are terrified of what happens to our streets if this project breaks ground. We are preparing a formal submission for the council that highlights the flooding risks that keep so many of us awake at night.

Seeing this momentum grow proves that I am not the only one fighting to protect the green space that defines our neighborhood. This support confirms that our community will not sit back while our local environment is paved over.

This would create more congestion and destroying wildlife in bush and so many trees are lost everywhere. we seen it happened across our street in Matthew street when that houses and townhouses was developed and it horrible to see trees and killing all birds nests, and burrows of wildlife. Developers so careless with wildlife and it need to stop.
Please keep the green space. We need it for our good mental health and flaura & fauna biodiversity.
I'm appalled at this unwanted and unnecessary destruction of important urban wildlife habitat when the state government itself says it will be tougher on tree clearing! This should never have reached this stage. An absolute money grab when Brisbane is already overfull of developments that aren't even occupied. Plus the weaslely way of getting around the legal trust on the land. Can't you just listen to the people for once in your political lives and see that this area must be saved!!
Please don’t develop this area, please think of all the wildlife they have nowhere else to go. We need this open space there are no other parks for the residents in our area to walk our dog and spend time in the park. We hav had many developments in our area in the past few years. No more for now until the infrastructure is developed.
We don't need this development. It will be removing much needed habitat for native animals plus creating even more traffic chaos on Beams Rd.
This should not go ahead.
This proposed distraction of our lovely natural space in Carseldine is nothing but vandalism by the Queensland Government, and is a absolute disgrace

The politicians who speak about listening to members of their electorate are just a joke. Thousands of sugnatures were collected for " Save our Carseldine " not many were collected for "Destroy our playing fields" or "Build lots of units and destroy our native habitat", or "Create lots of traffic jams" . Are any of these politicians going to live on this estate so they too can experience the traffic jams, lack of local green space etc. Find they have to leave one hour earlier to take their children to school? What a joke, what an absolute joke.
