    The proposed amendment will have a negative impact on the amenity of the surrounding properties in Yarraford Ave as follows:

    The proposed amendment is inconsistent with the neighborhood character;
    The proposed amendment will have a negative impact on the residential amenity and tranquility of the immediate area;
    Extended trading hours will create a negative visual amenity;
    Noise and disturbance will result from proposed extended trading hours;
    Noise and disturbance will result from trucks collecting bins and delivery vehicles loading and unloading. With extended trading hours it is highly probable that additional waste collections and food deliveries will occur;
    Noise and disturbance will result from bottles smashing when being collected;
    Noise and disturbance will result from patrons consuming alcohol;
    Potential odour emissions will result from the additional waste generated as result of extended trading hours;
    Potential attraction of pests (rats and mice etc) and harbourage areas will result from the additional waste being generated;
    Road accessibility with be adversely impacted, given the proposal is to reduce the current 14 car spaces on-site. If 16 off-site parking spaces are currently required, reducing the current on-site parking will further impact the off-site parking. The reality is, staff and customers have always accessed Yarraford Ave because it is convenient and there are no parking restrictions. This has directly impacted our tenants over the years, who have been affected when entering and exiting the driveway (at 46 Yarraford Ave Alphington) because cars are parked so close to either side of the cross over and directly opposite the cross over (at number 51). This has also negatively affected our tenants visitors.
    Additional cars parked in Yarraford Ave may cause road accessibility and safety problems for all users – patrons, staff, delivery trucks, rubbish trucks and most importantly emergency vehicles;
    With young families residing in the immediate area, children observing the consumption of liquor walking past the café to and from school and after school may cause a negative impact on them.

    Kind regards,
    Tas Topalidis
