Dear supporters,

Thank you all for your continued backing — your voices are making a real difference. Today I’m sharing an important and urgent update regarding development pressures on Chevron Island.

🏗️ A second tower has now been confirmed and publicly marketed
We can now confirm that developer Martello has started public marketing for an 18‑storey tower called Aere at 18–20 Mawarra Street.

This is in addition to the proposed 27‑storey tower at 17–21 Anembo Street (MCU/2026/63).

These two towers will be directly back‑to‑back, built on the same constrained block — one on Anembo Street and one on Mawarra Street. This intensification poses extreme risks for traffic, safety, liveability, and emergency access.

🚧 Anembo Street cannot support more high‑rise development
Anembo Street is already overstressed before these new proposals even begin:

Odyssey’s service/delivery driveway is on Anembo Street and is not yet operational — once occupied, it will bring ambulances, deliveries, support workers, and service vehicles.
Greenwich, directly opposite Odyssey, is fully occupied.
Traffic, congestion, safety issues, and construction fatigue are already daily struggles for residents.
The proposed 27‑storey tower is located directly at the roundabout — the tightest and most congested part of the street.
Residents have already endured years of constant construction, noise, disruption, and safety risks. Our small community is overwhelmed, exhausted, and increasingly distressed.

📢 We have escalated these concerns to our Councillor and State MPs
I have formally escalated these issues to:

Councillor Darren Taylor
Angie Bell MP
Hon. John‑Paul Langbroek MP
We have requested an urgent review of:

cumulative impacts
construction staging
traffic and safety
microclimate and overshadowing
emergency access
the liveability of Chevron Island under intensifying development
These are not theoretical concerns — they affect our everyday lives.

🖊️ What we need from supporters now
To strengthen our position and show elected representatives that this issue matters to the community, we need:

✅ More signatures
Please continue sharing the petition widely — with neighbours, friends, local groups, and community pages.

✅ More visibility
Post your concerns on community pages and tag your elected representatives.
Every voice counts.

✅ More real experiences
If you have first‑hand experiences with construction issues, access problems, noise, traffic impacts, or safety concerns on Chevron Island, please comment on the petition page. These lived experiences matter.

💬 Together, our voices are stronger
Chevron Island residents are not opposed to development — we are opposed to unsafe, unbalanced, and relentless intensification that ignores community wellbeing and infrastructure limitations.

Thank you again for your support.
We will continue to update you as we receive further information from Council and our representatives.
