66 Copeland Street, Penrith NSW 2750

Very disappointed in Penrith City Council if this application is approved. Right across the road as well from a school and within the area of a childcare centre application that has also been put forward to the Council for approval. This application has already been rejected once.
There are already an increasingly large number of boarding houses in the area - all single rooms - which when looking at this plan it again is for single room occupancy. How many more do we need? All of the applications put through Penrith City Council for boarding houses are all single room occupancy.
Where is the assistance to help families? And also what about the boarding houses in Kingswood that constantly have rooms available signs out the front or that have now been sold off because they are not being used?
There are far too many already in the area and clustering is already becoming an increasing issue.
Have a thought for the residents that live in the community already.

Totally agree!
We have enough Flop Houses in the PENRITH LGA!
It has to Stop Penrith Council with st Dominic's & Hungry Jacks across the road!
There is a Council Election in December?????

The over abundance in Penrith & its environs, of so called " boarding" houses is quite worrisome: seems as if the Penrith residential area has become a dumping ground for these type of rabbit warrens built hastily and shoddily to house the marginalised and vulnerable people in our community.To herd them altogether in these type of dwellings is an insult to them and also to the long term residents of the streets where these ghetto like buildings are built with no consultation with neighbours whatsoever. There is minimal or inadequate care for these people in these buidings ,no caretaker to make sure their needs are met or that safety issues are seen to. I definitely will be voting for a councillor who listens and acts on these concerns from the citizens of Penrith.

Unfortunately I Moore. Even if you find a councillor who agrees with you , it’s only to get your vote. We registered so many complaints for the boarding houses gone up in Manning Street , and and now Edna St . We Had assurances from a councilwoman that it was disgraceful and that she would do the best She could for us only need to be told after she was elected that its progress so unfortunately Nobody cares on the Penrith Council. They are not listening listening.

Another development application for a boarding house for Penrith/Kingswood

I think it is about time that the Penrith Council General Manager, Warwick Winn, Penrith Councillors and the local state Member Stuart Ayers tell the residents of PENRITH what PLANS THEY HAVE FOR PENRITH IN THE COMING YEARS. Are we going to become a dumping ground or is there someone who can lead Penrith into the future? This can only be done if we have leaders that are thinking of the residents, not just their next job. Changes will need to be made, but currently communities are being destroyed. Progression is good but congestion and destruction of neighbourhoods is not good for the future. Affordable accommodation should be available for singles, couples and families. But there is a problem when a room in a Boarding house is the ONLY affordable option that can be offered to people in need.

Don't forget people the Council Elections in December!
