Landslides have occurred on Tamborine Mountain and now an inappropriate development application promises more to come. Concerned citizens are asking for openness and transparency for citizens when council deals with development applications. However few councils and governments - in our experience have provided that. Rhetoric yes - but in reality no.
There are many issues. Please look at website and exercise your democratic rights by contacting council - especially if you live in the Scenic Rim area.
From one page some issues are -
1 Bowler Geotechnical Pty Ltd refuse to produce report indicating safe habitability below St Bernards.
2 Beaudesert Shire Councils, Development Control Plan (DCP) prohibits development at the site.
3 Part of cliff falls again in 2008 at site of 1974 landslide.
4 Willmott Report clearly states cliffs at site are an active slip zone.
5 Ongoing rockfalls from cliffs in the area.
6 Pictures of 1974 landslide.
7 The links lead to relevant worldwide information.
8 St Bernards landslide destroys the spectacular "Secluded Falls".
9 Recognised landslide risk preconditions.
