400 Fullarton Rd Myrtle Bank SA 5064

Why is it that this development came up 2 years ago... And now a new application. Are the developers trying to get something else through? As said before the area is losing it's soul by people who have no interest or care for the area. In Victoria you buy the land and trees.... Those trees must remain on the property.. It seems we have the opposite here... The trees must go. Yet again a poor development put up just before Christmas.... The Grinches of Christmas at work again on beautiful old homes and trees.

So, here we have 13 X 3 storied powder puffs going up on a 1379 sq metre block with a frontage of 23.77m to Fullarton Road and removal of the precious tree canopy.
That according to my calculations is 106 sq metres per unit.
With a driveway and the land/building sizes conforming to whatever the code is, no wonder they have to be 3 stories high!
Another rubbish development for Myrtle Bank. More money for the State Government and the Unley Council and more space taken up by people not being able to park their cars in the development. Pity the poor hapless people who own a property in Culross Avenue.
We strongly oppose it.

A similar development was disallowed at 420 Fullarton Road in 2018. Why on earth should this one be approved? The developer’s response to the question about parking at the proposed edifice at 420 Fullarton Road was that there would be parking spaces for 10 bicycles and visitors could park on Fullarton Road.

Again an appalling development which is spawned by of the new Planning Code which is
the antithesis of what is needed if the city is going to deal with the heat & the extreme weathers of climate change. Removing an old tree & other vegetation, crowding people into little boxes which will rely on air conditioning, positioning the development on a main road where all the residents will inhale a multitude of particles from the road and destroying a lovely old suburb. This scenario keeps on rolling on as developers are given free pass by the new planning Code. It is so distressing to see the fundamental planning errors being repeated. Where is our cool green city planners?

I must agree with Mary.

The developers efforts on the two Culross corners are caricatures of urban infill and this is development bid is with even less merit visually and environmentally. One questions the planning skills of a SCAP
if this gets the “nod and wink”. Mary Rumbold has nailed it!

Commenting on development just makes one more dissatisfied as it is rarely taken seriously. It appears an opportunity to comment is really just a chance to make a person feel they have made some contribution to the process. I think people who own the property in the area should be the ones to decide what housing development should occur. Council should be there to support this community and make sure designated services are operating properly. This is why I thought Councils charged rates; For delivery of essential services, maintenance and suited replacement of infrastructure. This idea of Sustainable Living and Energy Efficient Dwellings is great but it is a fallacy in this Councils case; Demolishing quality and liveable homes which do still show structural integrity, trucking them off to the dump, with little prospect of recycling and then replacing them with 'Out of Character Dwellings' which are more reliant on energy to maintain a comfortable living environment, does not seem to be representing the community sentiment in which I have grown up and lived in for 60 years. Interesting to read the above comment expressing a resubmission on 400 Fullarton Roads application, it seems to imply more development on the block; A similar scenario to the White Avenue 'Fullarton Road Rows' where an application of five residences now seems to have turned into six, once again hacking away at the amenity of the area which has escalating parking and traffic congestion issues. Unless residents get on board and resist Council's and Planning Authority's arrogance and abuse nothing will change.

Well said Mary. The new Planning Code seems to ignore global warming..
Developers dominate. our environment so much that I despair for the future generations.
