As a resident I am deeply concerned at the DA for the proposed 20 cabins at 43 Justin Ave. These are proposed be up to 8 metres high with verandahs and decks, with bbqs, outside heating and external lighting. The ‘cabins’ can exceed 100 square metres in floor space with surrounding decks of 100sqm.
There is proposed to be a reception lodge, restaurant and bar, a building 12- 13 metres in height, and an open loading dock/store/staff room / garbage collection unit approx 16 metres from the nearest house in Justin Avenue.
The Proposal clusters all the buildings at one end of the developers’ 100 acre property causing the greatest possible impact on established residents of Justin Avenue and Licuala Drive.
It is understood that the property will continue to be used as a movie location site.
All current documentation regarding the development is available at the Council website online property enquiries – type in pdonline.scenicrim.qld.gov.au (then click on Agree to the Terms & Conditions - select Property Enquiry - then type in the address - 43 Justin Ave – click on Show – then select first item under Applications - MC.Bd211/00066).
The closing date for submission is 19 December 2011.
