Planning needs to be curbed in this municipality - every day there are sub-divisions being put forward, a quick profit turnover for developers, eroding the livability of our suburb.
Four dwellings on a site that previously had one home is over development - more cars, impacting local roads, surrounding residents losing access to natural light and privacy.
These townhouses are becoming an eyesore and creating a very unattractive suburb with increased congestion with the increase in vehicle traffic without any further improvement to public transport. More buses is not a long term sustainable solution.
Please review planning within the municipality and put restrictions on the number of sub-divisions happening and height limitations. Perhaps a mix of single dwelling covenants will assist - or at least if a site can't fit side by side townhouses (maintaining all required setbacks), then the site is too small to be sub-divided. A better system needs to be adopted in this council.

4 dwellings on this site is far too many. It will increase traffic in this street both from additional residents as well as potential visitors. Increased density is placing too much strain on existing resources and despite increased revenue collection from these developments no significant infrastructure spend is being made to cope with the increase.
The attraction of this area was the open space providing a healthy lifestyle that was safe and private. The current council is allowing overdevelopment to erode our lifestyle and privacy the very things that make the area attractive. If I wanted to live in high density I would’ve moved to the inner city.
This development is far too large and should be reconsidered.
