1. Dear council,

   previous councillors are currently being investigated by ICAC for approving developments in this area of Canterbury with the view that there was potential corruption. Also, the current State Minister (Environment and Planning) has identified Canterbury as a suburb that may not have the infrastructure capacity to cope with the recent high level of development the councillors mentioned previously have approved for this area.

   Given these areas of concern, I object to any development of this scale until ICAC have completed their review, and the State Minister has deemed this area has the capacity to cope with such projects.

2. I would support the previous comments about further development around the Cooks River at Canterbury being shelved until the current concerns being raised at ICAC are resolved and the infrastructure concerns are adequately addressed.

3. I agree that no further developments along Canterbury Road should be approved by Council until:
   -- Canterbury Road traffic management plan has been finalised and implemented
   -- the new LEP is finalised and infrastructure needs (ie open space, schools, hospital upgrade) for Canterbury LGA have funding committed
   Any DA approved along Canterbury Road needs to have adequate set backs and a liveable scale. The monstrosities built near Canterbury Railway Station are totally out of character with what was a low rise area.

4. Canterbury Road has enough apartment blocks for now. The congestion is becoming very obvious, particularly at peak hour when it can take 20 minutes to travel 100 metres.

   There should be a moratorium on all future buildings above 2 stories in Canterbury for the next 30 years. It has had more than its fair share and has become extremely ugly. Why not add some more public facilities and green space to the area? Or at the very least, simply leave it alone.
