The Queensland Government this week released their Green Door Policy. This policy is purported to be about fast-tracking sustainable development that meets certain criteria. On the face of it this sounds great and something the Greens would support.
But, they also proudly announced in their press release that they will be employing dedicated case managers who will be able to deal with a maximum of six of the most sustainable development proposals at a time across Queensland.
The obvious question is how many developments that are going ahead are NOT sustainable. “Six seems to be a paltry number to target” said Dr Sandra Bayley, the Greens Candidate for Ashgrove.
“Why do they not legislate to ensure that ALL developments are based on sustainable principles or am I just being naive?” mused Dr Bayley. “Surely the people of Ashgrove have a right to expect that any developments planned in their area would automatically be based on sustainability principles.”
