1. Three residential blocks housing 3 families to be developed into 104 residential units and one commercial tenancy with only 76 onsite parking spaces! What are they thinking?
   That top end of Unara Street has a bend in the road right in front of the development that drivers constantly cut as they drive up Unara to Beamish St making it dangerous to negotiate - how much worse will it be with hundreds of residents driving in and out of this new development.
   Parking is impossible already in Beamish, Unara and Stanley Streets so where do the developers propose the new residents should park?
   The 76 spaces provided are insufficient for such a large development knowing that not all of those will be used for cars as residents use them to store household goods, or some don't like parking in tight underground spaces, and many households have more than one vehicle.
   Traffic congestion in Beamish St is horrendous, banking up to Canterbury Rd all afternoon and the other way in the morning making getting into Beamish from Unara a nightmare.
   This development will unreasonably impact the surrounding streets - Duke, Stanley and two lanes.
   The immediate area is a grid of oddly-shaped streets, narrow back lanes and numerous no-right-turns, and all constrained by Beamish St, Canterbury Rd and the railway line.
   Access to Beamish and Unara driving west on Canterbury Rd can only be gained from the streets between & including Park St & Phillips Ave and these mainly single dwelling blocks will be adversely affected.
   The area surrounding the development is already reasonably high density with many 3-level unit blocks, but to add upward of 300 people into three residential blocks will strain local resources and have a negative effect on the local residents and compound congestion in the area.
   It is an excessive development and should be opposed by council.
   -- i have no problem with my address being revealed as I am local & I object strenuously to the development but am going overseas on Sunday so don't have time to go to council to object in person to the proposal.
   I came across a shop front for this development in Campsie Centre today and went in to find out they were selling 1, 2 & 3 bed units off the plan for 10% down and then found the plans online tonight.
   They had no brochures or paperwork for the development - only a display kitchen & 2 mirror wardrobe doors (ridiculous!) but were encouraging investors to put money on these units.
   I was appalled and wondered at their confidence that the proposal would be accepted - what influence might they have on Council that we residents don't know about?
