Logan and Albert Conservation Association

There has NEVER been a consultation about NORTH MACLEAN ENTERPRISE PRECINCT NMEP. It has historically been referred to as North Beaudesert Mt Lindesay Study Area NBMLSA prior to 2006. Logan and Albert Conservation Association Inc LACA  has been following all aspects of planning  across  Beaudesert – now Scenic Rim shire, Logan City and South East Queensland commenting on SEQ regional planning. Our membership includes many longterm ie over 25 years residency in the area. We value the principles of Ecological Sustainable Development ESD. The residents whose land was removed from Beaudesert Shire and amalgamated into what is now Logan were mostly excluded from the first SEQRP under OUM Office of Urban Management. 

 

Beaudesert Shire conducted WOSP Whole of Shire Planning workshops but none were held in area “lost” with amalgamation. Community have never seen the resulting documents that fed into SEQRP. Although documents were transferred to Logan City after amalgamation we have not been able to access them despite our efforts. They claimed “commercial in confidence”. Those documents have never been scrutinised for groundtruthing by the community.

Genuine consultation processes have been denied to residents of Greenbank, North Maclean and Munruben. Local residents have been denied the right to say no to this development since the OUM proposed it on mapping in 2005 as part of the SEQRP Mt Lindesay North Beaudesert Study Area. Every stage of local or state government planning different terminology has been used and this  has confused the community e.g. North Maclean Enterprise Precinct for an industrial area, Mt Lindesay North Beaudesert Study Area ( 2005), where North Maclean Industry and Flagstone were two separate urban developments, then Greater Flagstone ( 2010) where suddenly North Maclean was added to the Greater Flagstone Area.  Many people in the community were not aware that this was an opportunity to comment on North Maclean Industry at this time.  When planning by local and state government has occurred, there has never been specific consultation for the community around North Maclean to be engaged with discussing their concerns and their ideas for how they would like to see their local area developed or planned for the future.
