I am concerned for the future of our community if this development proceeds without appropriate safeguards, especially given the Department of Communities’ poor track record in managing existing social housing in the area.
Simone supported: Petition to Uphold the City of Stirling’s Recommendation for Age-Restricted Social HousingIt is not safe to walk to the local shops anymore. It was never an issue until the government made the streets unsafe by placing a social housing complex in Ninth Avenue, Inglewood. If further social housing is allowed next door to Coles Inglewood then simply getting groceries will be hazardous.
Ann supported: Petition to Uphold the City of Stirling’s Recommendation for Age-Restricted Social HousingInglewood is a safe, family and community oriented area. Large developments particularly are NOT conducive to this. Instead of social housing more small dwellings for young people and families community areas and small shops would do far more to invigorate the area, keep the community feel and help businesses which are already struggling with poor urban design and the continued increase in ‘sterile’ development. Willing Homes are great examples of great design and architecture. Furthermore, an unsightly building will reduce peoples desire to come to the area. We have had great innovation here with the community getting behind the night markets, the monthly markets, the arts hubs and the development of community street space such as that in front of the library. I am happy the council have rejected this plan and hope they will consider a more community minded development. The community is already experiencing the negative impact of poorly designed and managed social housing and I would be very disappointed and worried about the impact of more social housing on what is currently a lovely area to live.
Rosemary supported: Petition to Uphold the City of Stirling’s Recommendation for Age-Restricted Social HousingSigned the physical petition form as well. We are directly impacted by the 100% social housing complex at 157 Ninth Ave. Inglewood has been an amazing community and place to live, but since the implementation of this complex, my family and I have felt so unsafe in our own home/suburb. Inglewood needs change.
Maddy supported: Petition to Uphold the City of Stirling’s Recommendation for Age-Restricted Social HousingWe love our town as it is. It’s one of the last of the hinterland towns which retains the character of a Qld rural community and is loved by both residents and visitors because it’s unique. To stereotype our town to match other Sunshine Coast centres will kill the vibrancy and character that Maleny currently enjoys.
Shirley supported: SAVE MALENY!! STOP the "Maleny Placemaking and Streetscape Maple Street Project"In the 26years that I have been living in Maleny I can’t believe the development without infrastructure that the Council has allowed. There is nothing wrong with Maple St. How about some infrastructure. We do not need to be changed into a suburban area. We are a country town and most like it that way.
Rana supported: SAVE MALENY!! STOP the "Maleny Placemaking and Streetscape Maple Street Project"Keep Maleny funky. Keep the youthful vibes.
Jayo supported: SAVE MALENY!! STOP the "Maleny Placemaking and Streetscape Maple Street Project"This absolutely beautiful town has been my home for just over one year, we do not need to revamp anything rather we need to plant more trees, stop further housing done by corporations and work on helping those who can't afford housing in Maleny. I promise that nothing will succeed that isn't for the good of Mother Earth, Maleny land and all the wonderful beings (this includes all wild life) living on this Magical Mountain.
Thomas supported: SAVE MALENY!! STOP the "Maleny Placemaking and Streetscape Maple Street Project"It is appalling that elected representatives are using their power to stigmatised and abandon the very people who elect them. It proves to me none of them deserve to be in these positions of privilege they find themselves in. Clearly they don't have the emotional intelligence to be able to handle the responsibilities bestowed upon them by their constituents. Homelessness didn't start during the pandemic; it is the result of all layers of government on both sides neglecting their duties by ridding themselves of public and affordable housing, opting for get rich schemes that have afforded a few to accumulate real estate at the expense of many. The price of rents and housing is squarely on the shoulders of Councils, State and Federal governments over four decades. In short, they all got drunk on triple down economics that made a few wealthy and the rest struggling to the point if you lose your job, get sick or have a relationship breakup you end up in a tent whereby Councils drunk on power want to make it illegal to be homeless. How sick.
Patricia supported: Demand Moreton Bay City to Abandon Criminalizing HomelessnessHomelessness is not a crime. The three main needs of human beings is food, shelter and clothing. If shelter is one of the three main needs of human beings, how can homelessness - no shelter - be a crime? As usual, another council, this time, Moreton Bay City Council, are showing a lack of empathy, heartlessness, no compassion and complete disregard for their fellow human beings, men and women, towards vulnerable people in the community.
