Dear Minister Miles, Minister Bailey and the CRR Delivery Authority,

The Boggo Road precinct represents a huge opportunity for the Dutton Park community to get much-needed greenspace, community facilities and active transport connections.

However, the current draft Development Scheme goes nowhere near far enough to ensure the local community gets the social infrastructure it needs.

I live at [------>>> DELETE THIS & INSERT YOUR FULL ADDRESS FOR YOUR SUBMISSION TO BE VALID <<<----] and as a local resident, think the Boggo Road precinct should [ ---- DELETE THIS & INCLUDE YOUR OWN VISION AND AMBITIONS FOR THE SITE ----]

I also object to the current draft development scheme on these grounds:

The community needs an expansion of parkland:

This precinct is an opportunity to significantly expand the provision of parkland for Dutton Park. The area has a limited amount of parkland, does not meet the DSS for local recreation parks, and the private Stockwell development will also remove greenspace.

Both sites earmarked for a future Outlook Park should be transformed into parkland, and designed via community consultation.

PDAs aren’t democratic or transparent:

Priority Development Areas (PDA) lock the community out of meaningful consultation, hide decision-making behind closed doors, and fast track private development, rather than considering the real and lasting impacts. In conjunction with the Precincts Strategy, the PDA is geared towards attracting private investment, privatized and sell-offs.

The need for ongoing community consultation:

Beyond this initial, limited consultation involved with the draft Development Scheme, the community has no say in ongoing development on the site. The draft Development Scheme notes that public notification is only required for 1) a new Outlook Park, and 2) developments that may impact on adjoining land or for “a use or of a size or nature that warrants public notice”.  All developments within the PDA should be required to undertake public notification and consultation.

Boggo Road Gaol as a museum and cultural hub:

The Boggo Road Gaol is a site of huge historical and cultural significance to the local community and broader Brisbane. As a publicly-owned heritage site, its protection, restoration and ongoing community use is crucial. The government should work with the community, the current tour operator, past prisoners and guards, and First Nations communities, to enliven the Gaol as a historical and cultural hub.

Public Ownership:

The whole site is currently publicly owned and must stay in public hands. With limited public land in the inner city, maintaining public ownership will ensure public benefits for years to come, while offering opportunities for alternative community uses down the track. Any moves towards private ownership and control of the site, or sections of the site, is privatisation.

Active Transport:

Safe and easy pedestrian and cycle access across the site should be delivered. This includes prioritising safe access for school kids traversing the site over vehicle access.
