The surrounding streets are currently inadequate at the present time. With added development and increased traffic, the current infrastructure will be strained beyond capacity.
Such a sad day for the area!! This is unfair to the current neighbourhood who have been there since the 70’s. You’re putting mass housing in an elderly area and it doesn’t even fit the area for aesthetics.
If this is approved please ensure that there is adequate parking underneath for residents and guests. The units on Lucas Avenue have cars blocking visibly when coming out of the other end of Harvey avenue onto Lucas. Great idea for the elderly in the area to navigate.
Also why can’t our citizens retire in their own homes anymore! Putting them into over 55 areas are money just thieves
2 houses would have maybe 2 cars each? Perhaps 3? Let's call it 3 for arguments sake which would make it 6 total.
Now let's knock down those 2 houses and build 24 units. All of those may have 2 cars each. How many car spaces do the developers allow per unit? Only 1 because they take up space you can't use or sell. See where I'm heading with this Liverpool Council?
I haven't even mentioned the fact your latest revenue raiser is located on a corner which elimates legal street parking.
And I haven't even mentioned the destruction of the current Moorebank visual landscape...
You Councillors really need to visit the area. And I mean not just via Google Maps. Walk the streets. Talk to the local community. Then please reconsider turning Moorebank into another Bigge Street or Browne Parade.
5 stories ?? First it was 2, then 4 and now 5. What next, 8, 10, 12 ?
Someone in council / government are having their pockets lined.
Learn from history - today's "affordable housing" are tomorrows slums.
This is not in keeping with the area and would be a disappointing and distasteful addition to the landscape
I would hope this is never approved
Liverpool COuncill need to really take a hard look at the community voices and the concerns being raised. Roads are crumbling faster each year, there is no where to park Locally. The shopping centres are run down. The daily commute is becoming a night mare. It’s nice to see these new projects just a shame they don’t fix the existing issues in our area. Not every piece of land needs to be sold, I’m not a complete greedy but slowly the charm of this area is changing, the facilities don’t. Fix our roads first.
With the marina on the way, how about we actually make our area worth visiting.
Death of a once lovely community suburb, with overpopulation in an under serviced, outdated infrastructure. Moorebank has been struggling since the 1980’s floods & king tides. Poor road & path surfaces, horrible drainage, breaking sewage & water pipes, flooded telephone pits, inefficient water pressure & slow internet, NBN.
Counsellors, town planners - local & state (I use that term loosely, have lack of common sense & logic regarding traffic & parking. 1-2 car spaces for 2-6 occupants per unit allowed per proposal, doesn’t calculate factor of surrounding properties & allowances, or existing residents or school parking) all for the greed of developers etc.
Living in the area since 1984, the heart ❤️ & soul has been desicrated, where once well maintained gardens, lawns & parks were places of pride & filled with kids playing & laughter, now it’s horns blasting & traffic jams. The area used to have many pocket parks, trees, lawn verges & safe places to play, non existent now - sold for units - why would children need fresh air & room to play? Streetscapes being replaced by trash, unkept weeds & empathy.
Petitions to council since 2015 onwards, when the secret R4 rezoning by “planted” Planning Representative Gabriel Gibble changed area to R4, but both the previous sitting council & current council stated their “hands were tied” huh!!!
I oppose this high rise, on the grounds of insufficient infrastructure, danger to life -due to unqualified building trades utilised on commercial high rise developments over 3 stories. Danger to native flora & fauna, destruction of the rights of well being to the community, insufficient parking, insufficient traffic control, congestion in an already bottleneck designed - road corridor, insufficient drainage, subsidence concerns, privacy invasion, overshadowing, blocking my right to airspace & view of the beauty of the natural setting sunset.
Please come walk the streets, look at the area you represent & fight for us to live. We should not be forced out due to greed!
Our suburb cannot handle hi-rises, not enough wide roads to sustain the traffic, this not even close to train station and no shopping centre. I used to love this suburb.... sad to see the true Moorebank fading away!!! It takes more than 25 mins to drive to sporties grounds from brick makers, in a few years time???
