1. I vehemently object to this application.
   The owner of the next door bottle shop -at 1947 Malvern Rd Malvern East - "Malvern Road Wine & Beer House" - ANTONY STEVEN BRISTOW - has made this application to extend his business into a Wine Bar - with proposed opening hours -
   The sale and consumption of liquor will occur (seven days per week): 10am-11pm Sunday; 12noon-11pm
   Good Friday and ANZAC Day; and 9am-11pm on any other day.
   There will be a maximum of 50 patrons on the site at any one time.
   This is not a commercial area.
   This part of Malvern Rd East has very few commercial sites and is predominantly a community shopping centre for families living in the area.
   This proposal is contrary to the "Stonnington Planning Scheme "
   a. The operation of licensed premises should have no unreasonable impact on the amenity and safety of surrounding uses, in relation to noise, hours of operation and car parking demand
   There has been no mention in the proposal of car parking demand and more importantly the safety of surrounding amenities in relation to noise , coming and going from the premises, and the impact of families in the area, not to mention the drunken drivers leaving said premises
   There would be "an adverse cumulative effect on the area "
   Currently the Malvern Road Wine And Beer House contributes to major problems in parking and traffic / bottleneck around this area.
   This "Application" is driven by greed by the current owner - Antony Steven Bristow of the Malvern Road Wine & Beer House -
   and I believe another place to drink is not necessary.
   Please also consider :
   Licensed premises should not be concentrated to the extent that there is an adverse cumulative effect on the area.
   Day-time uses and active frontages are encouraged within activity centres.
   Licensed premises should be located so as to discourage patrons parking in a residential zone.
   Licensed premises should operate in a manner that provides for the safety of patrons,
   the general public and nearby owners and occupiers of land.
   Residential, Activity Centre, Mixed Use and Industrial 3 Zones
   New licensed premises and the expansion of the licensed area or extension of the trading hours of existing licensed premises
   in a residential, Activity Centre, Mixed Use or Industrial 3 Zone are discouraged unless the responsible authority is satisfied that
   the use will not adversely affect the amenity of the area.
   The potential effect of the use on the amenity of the surrounding area.
   The proximity of the proposed licensed premise to residential uses and accommodation
   The impact of the proposed licensed premise on the mix of uses located within the activity centre and the vitality and viability of the
   activity centre during the day and at night.
   The impact of the proposed licensed premise on the activity centre.
   The adequacy of management of the licensed premise including security.
   The adequacy of measures proposed in the Noise and Amenity Action Plan.
   The availability and location of sufficient car parking for the use.
   The impact of the proposed licensed premise on the local traffic network and car parking
   availability in the area.
   The views of the Victoria Police.
   Any other relevant matter.
   The conditions of the existing liquor licence or planning permit controlling noise, security,
   patron numbers and hours of operation
