Wewak Road at Holsworthy is already over saturated with 8 duplex style properties in a street that originally had 14 standard dwellings. This development will bring potentially 8 additional residents living in a small street and 4+ additional vehicles entering and exiting the street each day, all likely to be parked on the street as is the case with the six existing duplex properties in the street located at 1, 10, 12 Wewak Road. These properties already have multiple vehicles parked on the street rather than on their property regardless of the car accommodation they have. This results in access/vehicle flow issues to the street when combined with the traffic island at the entry point on Bardia Parade. In addition, Wewak Road is already a thoroughfare for the adjoining Derna Road to access Bardia Parade.
Council allows these developments bringing more people to the area however there has been no extra facilities built in the community to accommodate the future population growth. It is a topical issue that car parking at the local train station is already at capacity (pre COVID) and the local roads are choked particularly at during morning and afternoon peak periods.
I'm also concerned about privacy. The property to side of my home appears to have windows with views to my back yard.
These type of developments have been approved without considering the street size, resident opinion, neighbouring residents privacy, local facilities and infrastructure and the potential loss of property value particularly for our family as we already have a duplex property to the back of property, next door, across the road and potentially another one next door.
I object to this development for reasons given above.
