There is already a liquor outlet across the road from this proposed site and a hotel that sells alcohol. I am not sure why it is necessary to have a liquor shop within such close proximity to a Early Childhood Centre, a primary school and a high school. There are more than 1500 children in the area everyday less than 50m from this site. If adults wish to purchase alcohol products the nearest outlet is only 100m away from this application. I object to multiplication of the same type of retail outlet so close to children and families. We have a social responsibility to educate our young about safe alcohol consumption and I am afraid these children could be exposed to potentially harmful role models outside the school fence. A different site in a shopping centre away from the existing school and preschool or in the new Warnervale Town Centre would be more appropriate. We have plenty of liquor shops in the local area. One in Tuggerawong, Kanwal, Lake Haven, Charmhaven, Gorokan, Hamlyn Terrace, Nth Wyong and Wyong all less than 10mins away. Give the community a break! It is far too accessible for children and young people, the exposure is everywhere and effecting so many families. We keep having to spend ridiculous amounts of taxpayers money on education and health programs to combat alcoholism, not to mention the money spent policing alcohol related crimes in the community. Keep our children SAFE and STOP the over saturation permeating every street corner.

There is a hotel/motel not 500 metres away.
This is next to a school (underage drinking). Why do we need another one here.
There is a drinking problem and graffiti and delinquint behaviour with our young why put in another grog shop so close to the school with another one just up the road.
Please be sensible and not allow this
