The Toowoomba Councillors will vote on DHA’s proposed 50-lot development application next Wednesday, 16 September 2020. The Council’s Planning Department has recommended to the Council that it Vote Yes to this 50-lot development even though it is surrounded on one side by escarpment designated as “very high and high potential bushfire intensity”.

The 50-lot housing development will encroach on the native escarpment bushland and wildlife that calls Mt Lofty home. DHA will have to create a fire trail around the development by bulldozing native trees and destroying wildlife.

SML opposes this proposed 50-lot development and requests John McVeigh MP intervene and demand DHA remove its development application with Council. Please contact him on the following numbers and email:

John McVeigh MP:
Toowoomba Office: (07) 46-324-144
Canberra Office: (02) 6277-4277
Email: john.mcveigh.mp@aph.gov.au

Please call and email the Councillors who will vote on the development application next Wednesday 16 September.

Thank you for your solidarity in calling on Councillors to VOTE NO against DHA’s development and demanding that DHA transfer the entire site to Council as conserved native escarpment parkland.
