WEDNESDAY is the deadline for submissions on the referral made to the federal government for the $1.39 billion Toondah Harbour.
The revamped plan by the Walker Group that is part of the new referral has decreased the development size by 30 per cent but still includes 3600 units.
Lobby group Redlands2030 will be available at the Red Place, Bloomfield Street Cleveland from 10am to noon on Sunday to provide information on its development concerns.
This follows a meeting last weekend, which Redlands2030 secretary Chris Walker said was well attended by residents concerned about the scale and impact of proposed dredging and reclamation for the project.
“Maps and plans showing the area proposed for development and the current environmental values of these areas including seagrass beds and shorebird habitat were made available for inspection by the community,” Mr Walker said.
Redlands2030 has written a draft submission template of their concerns about impacts which could include increased traffic congestion, inadequate infrastructure, destruction of protected Ramsar wetlands, marine park reduction and loss of local koalas.
The Walker proposal has reduced the reclamation footprint by 12 hectares and reduced the impact on Cassim Island.
Walker’s Queensland general manager Peter Saba said the company had considered feedback from environmental experts and worked with a wetland expert to enhance the plan from an ecological perspective.
The referral (numbered 2018/8225) is at epbcnotices.environment.gov.au.
