Sorry for the lack of detailed information, I was in a hurry and got interrupted.
The site is in a new estate that has opened on our city border- its not actually in Redcliffe, however, it is in a suburban area that has been established for some time.
My gripe was in relation to the ubiquitous nature of the tuscan style of home that has been the darling of the estate developers over the last few years.
The picture of the housing is terrible, I dont know how people could buy them.
I actually like the units although they are in an older suburb and dont fit in with the neighborhood too well. They tend to dominate the local area and reflect a trend towards more similar style of units being built in the area.
The lawn and tree planting comments are interesting. Redcliffe is an older suburb and fairly typical of development styles from around the forties and fifties. Over the years there has been a mix of more modern buildings being developed which reflect the changing nature of the suburb from a retirement/dormitory suburb to more of a bayside urban village.
Lawns are very much the norm and many houses go to great lengths in lawn care, often achieving a golfing green look (my property has just graduated from being a paddock to a yard -eventually it may be a lawn, who knows :-} ). No great issues with natives trees etc, although I have just finished removing all the palms, pines and other crappy trees from my yard (19 trees and 7 palms). I left some great firs, a huge ghost gum, and a moreton bay fig (a real monster) as well as a smattering of leopard trees etc.
Redcliffe itself has extensive native wetlands and bush adjoining the urban area. I still get an assortment of wildlife (wallabies, the odd koala, marsupial mice snakes lizards etc) from the bushland behind my house. All of the remaining bushland and wetlands are now protected from development, so I will get to enjoy my own private fire hazard for a bit longer. :-D
