1. I have serious concerns for 20 new homes to be built here.Can this little street cope with another 20 cars going up and down it. With recent homes and extra people living in the st it is already difficult at times to turn from Freemans Dr into Beauty pt rd without getting nearly rear ended by traffic heading to Cooranbong whilst you wait to turn. This intersection is getting dangerous. I have had 3 close calls in the past 2 months where i have had to abort my turn and drive into cooranbong and turn around just to avoid gettin hit.Not to mention the damage to the rd from the trucks. Such as the damage caused from recent build at no.9 for the new group home.( my new storm water pipes were driven on and parked on by work trucks and cracked or broken several times) This was once a quiet street now it's becoming way too busy and flooding it's aesthetic. Please only allow normal residential property here not more GROUP HOMES or a stack of ticky tacky boxes all in a row. I am not against development but I do have concerns for overpopulation

2. I would have to agree with N Potts. The idea of a 20 home addition in this little street is quite scary. Additional to the road problems of stopping on Freemans Drive to enter into beauty Point Road is the traffic on the actual road itself. We cannot drive from our house to Freemans drive now without having to pull over to let traffic past as the road is simply not wide enough to allow for opposing traffic to both travel and pass each other. There is most certainly not enough parking for such an addition. By all means allow development on the block but definitely not to this scale. This street will not cope with high density housing like this.

3. I strongly object to this proposed development. As a long term resident of Beauty Point Road I am having more and more difficulty getting in and out of my street with the increase in housing development in the surrounding areas. I fail to see how 20 housed can fit into a land area previously only fitting 5 or 6 dwellings (precedent Kelbrae Close). There is simply not room enough for garbage trucks to service 20 homes.

   I live at the top of a right of way and 6 homes means 12 bins every collection day in front of my home. If there is not a proper cul-de-sac constructed for these houses there would be 20 extra bins on Beauty Point Road every collection day. Also curb and guttering has never been completed and there would be a traffic hazard on the opposite side of the street if cars are parked there - no defined line between footpath and roadway!

   I have previously written to the Council requesting a meeting of concerned residents but this request seems to have been denied. Please advise of latest developments.
