The administrative review was refused as I did not have a letter stating I could appeal a decision. 9th June 2025
Grounds for Administrative Review:
- Failure to consult or communicate with residents before implementing renovations.
- Failure to provide alternatives to preserve personal gardens and outdoor property.
- Destruction and banning of access to a personal altar, causing harm and spiritual violation.
- Targeted public humiliation and threats from staff (Courtney Rynne) carried out under alleged instruction from “higher-ups” without transparency or due process.
- No reasonable adjustments were offered for my known documented disabilities and trauma conditions, as legally required.
- Housing staff acted beyond their powers by enforcing undisclosed rules and issuing verbal threats not supported by policy or law.
- Denial of access to renovation plans or documentation, in breach of transparency and procedural fairness.
- The decision-making process by Housing was secretive, non-consultative, and discriminatory, resulting in unfair outcomes and ongoing harm.
1. Ignored Communication – Breach of Disability Access and Inclusion:
- I emailed Housing Queensland last week, clearly and respectfully requesting that the native trees and water tank outside my window be left alone. This email has been ignored.
- Email is my only safe and accessible method of communication due to my deafness and autism. Ignoring it is not just poor practice—it is an extreme and urgent breach of my disability accommodation rights under both the RTA and the Queensland Human Rights Act.
- I have been blocked, silenced, and shunned from communication. This exclusion is a serious failure to uphold my rights and dignity as a disabled tenant.
2. Water Tank – Essential for Medical and Environmental Reasons:
- The rainwater tank currently on site is plumbed in and functioning, contrary to Housing Queensland’s false claim that it cannot be used.
- The tank is critical to my health due to allergies requiring abundant clean, chemical-free tank water.
- Biggenden tap water is harsh and has destroyed garden plants repeatedly. In 2023, during water restrictions, my tank was the only one in the complex that maintained usable levels—other units ran out.
- There is no reason for Housing to remove the tank. It is a form of water security and environmental responsibility.
- Despite multiple requests, Housing Queensland has refused to provide a tap to the tank, preventing me from properly watering my garden. I have lost thousands of dollars in damage to plants as a result.
3. Garden – Financial and Emotional Investment Destroyed:
- I began a communal healing garden in 2023 with my Victims of Crime compensation payout, following an abuse and hostage situation.
- The garden was part of my rehabilitation and therapeutic recovery. I intended to enter the Housing Queensland Gardens Award, a government-run competition that offers prizes for resident gardens.
- The garden has now been demolished and destroyed without notice, respect, or care. This has annihilated a deeply personal effort to rebuild my life after trauma and isolation.
4. Trees – Critical to Mental Health, Environment, and Religious Freedom:
- The non-dangerous, native trees outside my window are scheduled to be removed next week to install a letterbox (which I do not use for mail).
- This action is being done without proper consultation, safety measures, or ecological assessments.
- These trees are vital to my peace, quiet enjoyment, and mental wellbeing. Their removal would be emotionally and spiritually devastating.
- The trees are home to over 30 species of birds and animals, forming a vital part of a delicate native ecosystem. They are featured in my global educational project, “The Biggenden Bird Breakfast Bar”, which reaches 5,500+ followers on Facebook, teaching about Australian wildlife.
- Spiritually, I am a Pagan who worships Mother Earth. The trees are sacred to me. They are my Twin Sentinels, altars to my Mother and my late sister who died in a car crash (her favourite colour was red). Their removal would be a direct violation of my religious and spiritual rights.
5. Domestic Violence Safety Plan – Ignored and Undermined:
- These trees form part of my DV safety plan, shielding me from the view of Paul (Unit 12), who assaulted me at New Year’s, and Garry (Unit 10), who abused and threatened me weeks ago.
- Housing Queensland’s refusal to consider the importance of visual safety and environmental buffering in a DV context is a grave failure of duty of care.
6. Cultural and Community Disrespect:
- The name “Mountainview Apartments” reflects the significance of the view of Mother Mountain, Mt Walsh, from my unit. The proposed concrete renovations and removal of trees and green areas completely obstruct this sacred view, making the name meaningless and deeply offensive to tenants.
- No consultation was done with residents, most of whom are over 55 and consider this their final home. We were dictated to, not heard. I was told by Courtney: “You can’t, you won’t, we won’t,” with no room for consent, discussion, or alternative options.
Stay Refused because I did not have the original letter to appeal a case. 9 6 2025
Grounds for Stay Orders:
- Unauthorized renovations are occurring without resident consultation or lawful consent, violating the Residential Tenancies and Rooming Accommodation Act 2008 (Qld).
- Housing has scheducled perfectly well loved trees abd gardens for destruction in the next week to “beautify” the country complex. This is a crime there is no reason to destroy and cut down any trees or residents gardens These are cared for healthy trees in a very delicate and already damaged and strained ecosystem and nature breeding and feeding habitat for thousands of native birds. .Gardens, trees, water tanks, and access ways are being altered or destroyed without agreement from residents.
- Housing Queensland and qbuilt have undertaken bullying , reckless disregard for the residents, abuse of disabled residents and carried out deceptive practices and breaches of wethics by lying to residents and not informting them of their rightx
- I am terrified and jump each time I hear a heavy vehicle in fear of the trees being cut down, nests destroyed and native birds being left without a nature food source in an already dwindling food system.
- Housing has scheduled my remaining garden to be demolished in the next week and concrete replacing it this is against every one of my wishes and will place me fn further mental health crisis.
- Housing QueenalNS as participated in theft of my tiems, destruction of my itemz and reckless disregard to me and my belongings
- I have been threatened by contractors and subject to a false narrative by Housing Queensland and abuiild slandering me and dehumanizing me.
- My personal altar and well loved garden was destroyed, left to die visibly, and I’ve been banned from retrieving it, causing spiritual and emotional harm.
- Housing Queensland has refused to speak with residents respectfully, and no alternatives have been offered to preserve gardens or property.
- I am a person with disability and have not been accommodated. Works and interactions have aggravated trauma and violated my rights under the Anti-Discrimination Act 1991 and the Human Rights Act 2019 (Qld).
- I have been publicly threatened with loss of tenancy if I speak up or interfere with contractors, which is intimidation and retaliation.
- Housing staff, particularly Courtney Rynne, engaged in humiliating, patronizing, and ostentatious behavior, triggering trauma and undermining safety.
- Housing and qbuild Staff undertook a conspiracy deception and coverup to pervert the course of justice against residents of 69 Alice Street BiggendenHousing and Qbuild staff are not informing Residents that their dwelling is illegal and in breach of building codes/ This makes the complex unable to be insured and leaves the tenants exposed to hazrardous and unsafe dwellings. This has been covered up and residents are not informed that if there is anyt accidents or damage they are not covered by their insurance policies
- Continued work without agreement will cause irreparable harm to my mental health, property, and sense of safety.
🙏 Stay Orders Requested:
- Immediate halt to all construction or renovation works on the property.
- No removal or damage to trees, gardens, tanks, or personal outdoor property.
- No further interference with my personal effects, including the altar
- Full agreement obtained for works taking into account the residents needs
