1. I wish to object to this proposed planning permit on these grounds:

   It would be detrimental to neighbourhood character to have two dwellings built at the rear of this house in a street that has only single dwellings in it currently.

   The proposal provides insufficient visitor car parking spaces. Duke Street is already congested and it is hard for CFA trucks to fit down the street in the event of a fire emergency. The proposed planning permit needs to be ammended to include more on-site visitor car parking spaces.

2. Duke St is a narrow street, and 2 additional dwellings will on average attract 4 cars from residents plus visitor cars.

   This increases congestion and contention for parking by visitors and second cars of existing single dwelling residents in the street and access by emergency vehicles, especially fire trucks.

   More residents leads to proportional increase in fires.

   Council should introduce and enforce a resident parking scheme and absent that decline multiple unit subdivision in residential areas.

   It is an established issue that pandemics like Covid 19 are worse in high density population areas.

   Existing sewerage, water gas, power utilities are expensive to upgrade to increase capacity and the costs are borne by all network users, not just the people subdividing and developing their properties to the detriment of the social fabric that holds this part of Werribee together.

3. I feel that yet another sub division where there’s is enough exisiting land for sale
   On top Of that The narrowness of the street at least two cars per extra dwelling leading to further congestion on already stretched services in this area let alone road congestion
   Council need at to enforce The covenants if this area no more sub division please
   Our schools are full our roads yet our rates are high
   We are barely keeping up with traffic flow into the freeway now
   Those extra exits at Snedes Rd and Dunnings road will be a waste of time

4. I personally don't see much of an issue with the subdivision. The reality is more people are moving into Wyndham and the urban sprawl is getting very much further yet the blocks close to the city are underutilised.

   This will also split rates across more ratepayers which hopefully will cap the upside a bit.

5. I have no issue with this proposal.
   Street has more than ample parking and there is onsite parking as well.

   The existing home is staying which is good too.

   We need more modern homes in this area for people who dont want the 1960-70's home which are in abundance.

6. Looks like a reasonable proposal. A lot of complaints so far about it but it will make this hood nice and swanky. Lots of aging facades everywhere.

7. We do need modern homes since we live in modern times Yes, BUT we DO NOT need congested suburbs. Why? There's plenty of land elsewhere. Go ahead and knock off and rebuild or RENOVATE to keep abreast of modern look. No need to cut down plots with gardens, squeeze in lots of small units, it doesn't make sense for a well-being perspective. Council please don't allow anymore units. It's unfair. Make money on new land, build as you wish there. WHY build on established suburbs and attract rentals where most tenants don't care about the house. Look we take pride in our homes, our neighborhood and amenities. Stop reducing the plots it takes away alot from the neighbourhood and introduces unwanted issues like congestion, loss of privacy, loss of backyard space essential for well being. Perfect example is right now. During covid times we have had to stay home, neighbours and I have enjoyed our back yard. The kids have somewhere to run around. We can do things outside and feel merry. Council, don't please don't introduce any more units. It's really unfair. Sure, renovate but don't subdivide

8. The 1960's and 70's free-standing house and garden properties are becoming recognised for their historical significance. They will only be more appreciated as time goes on.

   Victorian terrace houses in inner Melbourne are a testimony to that. I was taught a child that terrace was a by-word for slum. Look at how much people appreciate Australian made cars of that era.

   But new and old side by side is visually jarring. What is "swanky" and chic today dates very quickly and within 20 years alread looks tired and kitsch, a lose-lose proposition.

   These high density subdivisions infecting our suburb over past 20 years quickly become slums as there is neither economy of scale to make proper maintenance affordable and neat. Tidy individuals tend to "give up" on keeping their exterior neat, amongst the squalor of unemptied letter boxes, discarded household goods, excess vehicles parked on nature strips which is outside their ability to control, ("How dare you touch my junk") so those that are able will move on as soon as they are able.

   Leads to a lowest common denominator effect, and downward spiral.

   Healthy communities are not readily established or maintained in high density environments.

   Most council bureaucrats have no commitment to the area, and a large proportion do not live here.

   We call on Wyndham Councillors, to defend our city from greed and officially-sanctioned vandalism and vote down these blight-inflicting high density developments in remnant low density areas.

9. I really feel that really the people in that area do take pride in their properties and we do just not need any more soulless style units with plastic grass and yuccas please
   The style of those houses In this area are becoming to be more appreciated as mid century modern. Also we do not need any more multiple dwellings on a single block because ultimately that’s what this town now city was meant to have
   Our roads are full as are our schools and our council cannot keep up with what we have now let alone more multiple dwellings bringing more people
   Also there is so much land in this area without subdivision I could understand if there were no land but there is

10. It will block the sun going into.he adjoining house for about half the day. How will this effect their garden, animals etc

11. Jo lack of sunshine will be the least of your concerns when you have multiple air conditioning systems and grey water pumps whizzing away day and night in close proximity as I do now being surrounded by multi dwelling developments you will want to stay indoors to get away from the noise.
    Do our planners take this into consideration I bet not, they are too busy making bad decisions!
