Paul McGowan and Janice McWatt McGowan lodged their objection in the Queensland Planning and Environment Court in June, claiming the approved Villawood housing development threatened to flood their bayside property in Redland Bay.
The approval for 224 houses on Moreton Bay’s foreshore is next to land where Stockland-owned Halcyon have applied to build a 535-home land lease community, which will border Lendlease’s 4,000-lot Shoreline estate, which Stockland plans to acquire pending ACCC approval.
The McGowans claim a watercourse and potential stormwater discharge from the upstream housing estate will run downhill and into their two driveways, inundating and eroding their land. They engaged with Redland City Council and Villawood in an effort to resolve the issues before appealing the Council’s May decision to approve the housing subdivisions.
