Shop 6 & 7 Tribeca Complex, 412-442 Victoria Pde, East Melbourne 3002, VIC

I wish to object to the application (No 66964A01) for a variation of category to General Licence that was submitted on 13/12/2019 by Pizzaiolo P/L, at shop 6 and 7, 412-422 Victoria Parade East Melbourne, 3002.

I have two grounds for my objection:

Firstly, there will be an adverse impact on the amenity of the Tribeca Apartment complex. The Tribeca is mainly a residential precinct containing more than 400 apartments. The residents expect that as a residential complex there will be a low level of noise appropriate to its residential nature.

It is particularly important that the level of noise is kept low in the evenings as residents have right to quiet enjoyment of their homes. We have elderly residents and residents with young children and the extended licence requested will increase the noise issue due of the extended hours, the changed nature of the venue from a restaurant to a live music venue and because of the noise generated by patrons leaving the venue intoxicated.

Secondly, there will be a direct impact on us as the Pizza Bar is not located in an appropriate location suited to the requested variation to its licence. The Pizza Bar is located in the ground floor of the largest building in the Tribeca complex. It has apartments directly above it and many apartments located nearby.

I own a ground floor apartment only meters from the part of the plaza that patrons will use to enter and leave the Pizza Bar. The noise from rowdy patrons are already being heard and this is expected to significantly increase if this change of licence is granted.

I plead you to please reject this application as the proposed changes will have a significant detrimental effect on the quality of life of Tribeca's residents.

Best regards,
