Hi all,
Since the last update on 21 September 2024, construction is well underway on the 114 townhouses to be privately sold on the same parcel of land at McEwan Street Riverview as to the proposed 7 Storey Community Housing Building, however I hadn't heard anything from Riverview Development Holdings, Paladin Project or Human Habitats with regards to the progression of the 7 Storey Community Housing Building. It was like radio silence for 5 months!
However, there has been a lot of disruption to the local properties surrounding the construction site with environment, traffic management, noise and safety issues, which the locals live with on a daily bases.
As I normally do weekly, I jumped on the State Governments Planning Qld website (refer link below) to check newly lodged MID applications and to my disbelief as of 14 February 2025 the official documents have now been submitted and MID-0125-0905 - Social Housing - McEwan St, Riverview has been lodged.

My head is spinning as my lovely suburb of Riverview and 'My Castle' will never be the same again and this is where I need as much support from people to share and sign my Online Petition.
We need the Federal, State and Local Governments to understand Riverview IS NOT going to be the dumping suburb again of Housing Commission or 'Social Housing' as it is now known of this size!
If you are wanting to voice your concerns personally and directly on the proposed 7 Storey Community Housing Building (MID-0125-0905 - Social Housing - McEwan St, Riverview application), please reach out to our current members of Government -
Hon Shayne Neumann MP (Federal Member of Blair) - Phone 07 3201 5300
Hon Lance McCallum (State Member for Bundamba) – Phone 07 3447 9100
Cr Marnie Dolyle (Division 3 Ipswich City Council Councillor) – Phone 07 3810 8194 or 0499 018 360
Cr Andrew Antoniolli (Division 3 Ipswich City Council Councillor) – Phone 07 3810 7664 or 0488 079 375
I will be again rallying as many people in my local area for support and be having community meetings to discuss this matter.
Thanks for your time and support.
Regards
Louise
