No. Communities will not accept higher growth targets until such improvements are delivered and are shown to be effective. There are already sizeable new housing developments planned in and around Ipswich. Higher targets should not be set until there is robust evidence that infrastructure can cope with the current planned expansion. E.g. there is major concern on how the road network will cope with the Ipswich Garden Suburb development and the impacts of this need to be monitored and appraised as it is built out before setting higher targets. There are also concerns over sewage and fresh water infrastructure.
