The Cairns Regional Council today approved a SEVEN storey 54 unit development in Atherton St, Yorkeys Knob.

Linda Cooper Division 6

The council for Division 8 Jessie Richardson and Division 6  Linda Cooper opposed the recommendation arguing that more community consultion was needed given the buildings size.
Thank you Jessie and Linda for understanding the communities needs for consultation.

Jessie Richardson Division 8

Then in the next breathe both councillors said "they supported the design" what a slap in the face is this for the residents after stating that the community needs consultation.
Councillor Richardson then stated "while I agree I'd like to see a change, and follows up with this statement..."there's no obligation for a project like this to go to the public. REALLY JESSIE

John Shilling Division 2

Then Councillor John Schilling said the development was part of an "excellent plan for the area".
John, you don't live in Yorkeys it is up to the residents to say what is good and what is not.
Irrespective of what the Mayor and his Deputy say all these large projects  are a lead up to the next elections where they can say "see this is what this council has done".
As the old saying goes "up you jack we're ok".
  There are a few councillors that are PRO BUILDING and Cairns will in no time start to look like the Gold Coast, god help us if that happens.

Impression of the seven story 54 unit complex

People are asking why wasn't there a building sign on the block of land in Atherton St indicating the proposed building?.
