497 Pacific Highway Mount Colah NSW 2079

PLEASE DO NOT APPROVE THIS APPLICATION AS THE AREA OF MOUNT COLAH IS ALREADY OVERCROWDED AND CANNOT COPE WITH THE NUMBER OF PERSONS (I.E. ELECTRICITY, WATER, ROADS, PUBLIC TRANSPORT, HOSPITALS, SCHOOLS, ETC)

Asquith is over developed so don't do the same to Mt Colah. There are enough town houses and apartments in the area, so many still empty. No additional facilities, huge impact on traffic and parking already.

I am concerned about the use of dark colours of the roof and external bricks. As the suburbs lose their green space and tall shade trees they seem to be replaced almost all the time by heat/light absorbing colours that add to the heat island impacts. There also seems to be a very narrow driveway entry for the residents into this development that allows for a two car width then as it approaches their gate, changes to a single car entry.

We recent moved to Mount Colah from Marricville NSW. Inner West council is allowing construction of apartments in the Marrickville area everyday and it's now extremely congested. We were almost forced to moved out of the area because everyday we struggled to find a parking spot and we needed to drive for work.
It's very sad to see this area turning into another carelessly planned congested suburb. The difference is that in Marrickville we had trains running regularly and frequently whereas in the Hornsby shire trains are infrequent and it seems like every weekend there is track work.

The "go2civil" demolition company that is at the site now has put up tarp covered fencing that is blowing pieces of tarp over the footpath forcing pedestrians out onto the road and creating a safety hazard.

Please look into the continual beeping noise that is coming from 497, 499, 501 pacific highway mount colah development sights. This noise happens 24/7 and it’s becoming a safety hazard as member living around the sight can not get appropriate amount of sleep to work during the day.
