1. To Whom it May Concern.
   The above Development proposal has been brought to my notice and,in my opinion, is inappropriate in its present format for both the site and detrimental to the Keiraville Communities expectation of Council to control over development in this area.
   The growth of the Wollongong University has already outstripped the capacity of road and services infrastructure in this locale and a Development of this type will further exacerbate the problem.
   The proposed Development is out of character in a predominately single dwelling or low density rated site.
   Ten 2 story Town Houses on a site previously occupied by 2 homes indicates that the property is mooted for student accommodation maximised by utilising a floor plan in excess of Council's own low density ruling with virtually no green space and inadequate car parking facilities.
   Height of the buildings creating shading and invasion of privacy on adjoining properties is a major problem. If approved it would reinforce the obvious notion that Council is only interested in generating rate income at the expense of existing amenity enjoyment for effected adjoining properties. This Development has been inadequately publicised and one wonders if there is a hidden agenda in doing so. Of course, Council's usual process for dealing with Public opposition to such problems is to act as Pontius Pilate and have the matter referred to the Lands and Environment Court who also seem to be tarred with the "Development at any cost brush".
   There is an obvious need for lower cost accommodation to service the need of both the General Public and Students in Wollongong but this Development should only be approved if it is re-planned for a reduced footprint and fewer accommodation units preferably on a single level. The provision of adequate off street parking spaces goes without question.

   Yours faithfully
