1. It’s great to see the accomodation for seniors bring upgraded.

   There are three (3) trees marked for removal.

   Can the Council please note these removals and ensure that their (apparent) 2:1 replacement process is undertaken?

   The inclusion of safe canopy-providing trees are extremely important for Seniors Housibd Developments. Trees reduce air conditioning costs and improve mobility and mental health.

   Please ensure a thorough, high quality landscape plan is adhered to and that there are sufficient large shade trees included in the plan.

   Thank you.

2. While this old IOOF group home site has been a sitting duck for re-development for years, can Council PLEASE ensure most of the trees and spaces for trees are retained?
   The tenants I know there love the open, quiet parkland feel of the space and the future residents should be able to benefit from that existing amenity (shade) for free.
   The contractors need to be strictly supervised in the demolition phase so they don't "accidently" reverse over perfectly established specimens. Locals I know are tired of seeing wanton destruction by workers, tired of arguing over proof of permissions and hard words on footpaths. This area is getting better because more locals are showing some forethought and planning for working around plants for future value and livability.

3. Yes I agree with the site needing to be redeveloped. Pre-fab housing concerns me as I imagine it will look like a trailer park - like the ones further down Springwood (opp Ettalong Bowling). They look cheap and nasty.
   I do not believe for one moment this will be seniors accommodation - it will be a low-income estate and will bring all the problems associated with this directly into the yards of the family homes surrounding. With the laneway directly behind the estate; this is going to make it very unsafe for residents.
