1. Please advise why "waiver of carparking requirements" is happening in most redevelopments. Why are you turning streets into car parks?

2. Not a bad design for a corner site. 6 larger 3 bedroom townhouses with direct driveway access is much better than cramming apartments on to this site.

3. Yet another step along the road of the disappearance of the leafy green image of Knox. Town houses such as we seem to be expected to accept now, town houses of two storeys dominating the blocks previously occupied by one house, overlooking neighbours, destroying privacy and with numerous cars parked on the street or nature strip. Yes really positive planning.

4. I would like to know why a waiver for car parking requirements has been granted for this site. This simply means that many more vehicles will be parking along the roads instead of the property. I understand the theory of creating more living space within walking distance of public transport but that does not necessarily equate to less vehicles being included with these properties. You only have to drive along the streets where high density has been allowed, to see all the extra vehicles parked along the streets. Sometimes it’s very difficult to pass along the street, which blocks the flow of traffic and becomes a hazard not only for traffic but for children trying to cross the street.
   Next question is, why are so many two storey town houses being allowed to be built? Most of us who choose to live in Boronia enjoy being able to see the Dandenong Ranges but these buildings are quickly stopping our views and the sense of space and greenery we used to love. One particular case is the corner of Rangeview and Chandler Roads, it makes me feel like I’m in Box Hill.
   Why is infrastructure not addressed either when allowing these thousands, of look a like boxes. For example, the corner of Erica and Orchid Avenues opposite the train station but more into Orchid Avenue, floods very badly. Combine the huge amount of flood water over the roads and the streets lined with parked cars, it’s a nightmare.
   Stop destroying Boronia!
