1. Hi,
   I am against subdiving the proposed lot with the addition of 4 townhouses/duplexes that will lead to traffic problems and overcrowding of a quiet street. While most new townhouses have carparks, most cars are still being parked out on the street adding to significant parking issues for neighbours and the neighbouring streets as most families have a minimum of 2 cars.

   To note is that in recent years there have been a multitude of townhouse developments in the street including the one next door to it. Unfortunately, the street -
   and Helensburgh as a town - is losing its small town character and turning into a suburb with standardised townhouses like Engadine which I am sure is not in the interest of the majority of people.

   With the recent addition of all the townhouses in Hume Drive and Harper Lane, further subdivision and townhouse development should not be allowed in this area and the lot
   should be retained for a freestanding house with a backyard.

2. Why are you turning Helensburgh into a suburb that’s choked with cars on the street and townhouse? It’s a small town that is rapidly losing its small town character. There have been significant townhouse developments in the last few years, and there is never enough parking allowed. Most of not all families have a minimum of 2 cars, more if there are young adults living in the house. Helensburgh has terrible public transport and as such everyone drives so the usual allocation of parking does not meet the communities needs. Once quiet streets are now like a car park. There is no need to over develop the place, leave it alone please
