Walker withdraws its Toondah Harbour application

Walker Corporation (Walker) has today withdrawn its application for the Toondah Harbour Development.

The decision to withdraw the application will allow Walker and the project partners an opportunity to review the Federal Government’s Proposed Decision and consider if there are alternative options that would still allow vital infrastructure and housing to be delivered.

Along with Redland City Council and the Queensland Government, Walker has been on a long journey to deliver a world class vision for a revitalised Toondah Harbour. It is a project that set out to deliver housing, state infrastructure and public domain areas but we acknowledge and respect the Minister’s Proposed Decision, that she does not believe the project in its current form, provides the necessary protections for the environment.

We need an appropriate amount of time to understand and address those concerns, to satisfy the Government’s environmental requirements and to determine whether an alternative scheme would be viable for the project partners.

Walker will not be making any further comment.
