Appeals lodged over Macdonnell Road and Kidd Street proposals

Key points

• Two appeals have been lodged with the Planning and Environment Court after Scenic Rim Regional Council refused developments for retirement facilities. The appeals concern proposals at 30 Kidd Street and 24-34 Macdonnell Road.
• LG Resorts, the appellant in the Kidd Street appeal, has also registered as co-respondent in the Macdonnell Road case. Former councillor Nigel Waistell says he will attend court in support of the council's refusal.
• He warns the developments would bring over 200 homes to the mountain and add pressure on medical services.
