1. The local community needs more time to assess this application which has suddenly changed from 6 or 8 townhouses to over 100 residences with minimum car allowances. Parking and traffic are already issues in Fairlight and adding up to possibly over 100 cars is ridiculous.Sydney rd is the main access to manly and is already heavily congested at peak hrs and weekends.Another point is a developer has sold to another developer??How is this allowed and why are the council only notifying immediate neighbours when the scale of this application affects the whole neighbourhood. This application needs more asssesment as the guise of "affordable housing"is another way of saying we intend to make huge profits!!

2. This is a gross over reach by an un caring developer. The impact on the suburb will be negative in every aspect, parking, noise, congestion and possibly crime. It is a very busy and dangerous bend where access is proposed also. Affordable housing is a great idea but this is obvious bluster to maximise profits for what is nothing more than an expensive backpackers lodge. I doubt very much the people behind this would want it in their street! As a tax paying, voting local it is rejected completely.

3. There seems to be no comprehensive Council strategy to deal with increasing flows of people and traffic into Manly. Access roads are becoming thoroughfares which leads to reduced traffic safety, increased noise and tailpipe pollution, and lower quality of life for residents. It will negatively impact all residents of Manly, Fairlight and surrounding villages.

4. A perfect example of 'entitled' community being completely clueless about development and good architecture. The proposal looks great and is proposed top put 74 room critical worker housing on a busy road under a 14 storey tower.
   We all want our teachers, police officers, nursers and firefighters to live in local suburbs, yet the moment we see a proposal next to our houses we scream over-development and greedy developers. No-one wants to live next to school or hospital, yet it is critical, subsidised housing is no different.
   The fact that this proposal was unanimously approved by the planning panel, despite all the 'outrage' by the local minority speaks volumes of how outspoken really care only about themselves and the value of their properties, without any consideration of a real community benefit.
