Council must consider the cumulative impact of traffic from the recent DAs on Hattersley St as these together will all have a big impact on the flow of south bound traffic on the highway from an increased number of cars turning right into Klimpton St. If these developments are all permitted then Council must make the highway south-bound from Tabrett St to Bestic St a no stopping zone to prevent serious delays to south bound traffic on the Princes Highway. Also the traffic report appears deficient in not considering the impact of traffic on Taylor Ave, which is a blind turn given parking outside the retail businesses there. The traffic report also underestimates the need for childcare parking for drop-off/collection and staff - nothing also that Banksia and Rockdale must be nearing saturation for childcare given all the new operators opened and approved to open over the past 12+ months.
This application from the developer is poorly considered and weakly argued, particularly in relation to traffic impact.
