1. Objection- the area is so packed already. Parking is a major issue. The third storey will be able to see directly into my bedroom. This is the most upsetting as I purchased my unit years ago due to the privacy.

2. Objection in terms of designated car spaces. Seven spaces for six apartments, three of which are two-bedroom apartments, is insufficient in a road that is consistently parked up and in an area where there are many houses, including my own, that have no off-road parking.

   As I presume it is too late to change the plans now, I propose that the Council now consider designating this section of Wentworth Road as P1 parking with residential permits.

3. I have to say that the development in Randwick and its negating of residents needs is becoming obscene in this corner and no doubt in all corners of Randwick
   I have no idea how the Council ascertain what is sustainable and I am sure Council has no idea - if there are 3 storey's nearby then all must be ok
   Parking is a major issue and regardless of the current infantile thinking that anther 30% of people won't need their cars in the "future" - we are light years away from that future if it exists at all.
   With the re-development of POW hospital and the doubling in capacity of its Accident and Emergency Dept Randwick with no extra parking available is a sleep walking disaster that Council lack the energy and foresight to tackle.
   There is certainly no formula that they have to explain away their reasoning, the "new approach" is to moot combine parking areas - i.e. spot combined with perhaps the centre of Randwick - that is their proposed solution at present - extraordinary stuff.

4. Having seen this time and time again in Randwick what are the plans for:
   - dust control - council never enforces
   - traffic management plans - this needs to be detailed and enforced in such a small area
   - asbestos management - writing a plan does not mean they follow - again will council enforce
   - acoustic management - houses so close together you need to enforce especially when builders onsite playing music, yelling, talking on phones on speaker
   - no doubt they will exceed FSR, have setbacks that are too small for apartment design guideslines or even Randwicks own code - what will be done to protect residents rights
   - sewerage needs to be included in DA as its often an afterthought and in this old area causes a huge headache
   - has the watertable been addressed - we are sucking the water and life out of the ground to build carparks - its destroying the ecosystem
   Do NOT say this the certifiers role and keep fixing it after the issue arises - be proactive Randwick Couuncil - ensure this is addressed in the DA conditions AND then enforce them - you do have the power to do so.
