Grounds for Admin­is­tra­tive Review:

1. Fail­ure to con­sult or com­mu­ni­cate with res­i­dents before imple­ment­ing ren­o­va­tions.
2. Fail­ure to pro­vide alter­na­tives to pre­serve per­son­al gar­dens and out­door prop­er­ty.
3. Destruc­tion and ban­ning of access to a per­son­al altar, caus­ing harm and spir­i­tu­al vio­la­tion.
4. Tar­get­ed pub­lic humil­i­a­tion and threats from staff (Court­ney Rynne) car­ried out under alleged instruc­tion from “high­er-ups” with­out trans­paren­cy or due process.
5. No rea­son­able adjust­ments were offered for my known doc­u­ment­ed dis­abil­i­ties and trau­ma con­di­tions, as legal­ly required.
6. Hous­ing staff act­ed beyond their pow­ers by enforc­ing undis­closed rules and issu­ing ver­bal threats not sup­port­ed by pol­i­cy or law.
7. Denial of access to ren­o­va­tion plans or doc­u­men­ta­tion, in breach of trans­paren­cy and pro­ce­dur­al fair­ness.
8. 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.
