1. Eleven stories is far too high for East Terrace. It would be out of scale with surrounding buildings and spoil the ambiance of this beautiful terrace. In my opinion, buildings on East Terrace and South Terrace should be limited to 4 or 5 stories in height in order to achieve a harmonious street scape and to avoid overshadowing and overlooking of residences on the west side of buildings on East Terrace.

2. The Development Plan (City of Adelaide) specifies a maximum of 4 storeys and a maximum height of 14 metres for this East Tce precinct. The GDA 2020 Rules were obviously made for a purpose so why not abide by the Rules?
   We are sure that the Government devised these height limitations for a good reason ensuring that any development surrounding our beautiful parklands preserves the residential nature and ambience of this area.
   We should also ensure that existing households should not be overwhelmed and over-shadowed by a very large multi-storey building/buildings.
   Should the development proceed at all, then it is imperative that construction access be via East Terrace and not via the lane behind townhouses 190 - 181 East Tce.
   In summary, we strongly oppose any development above and beyond the GDA 2020 Rules.

3. I am in full agreement with the previous comments which are in line with my submission at the initial planning of this development, I agree that access should only be from the East Terrace entrance and not the side lane off East Terrace nor the sidelane between the properties of 424 and 422 Carrington Street which is an access lane to the two story block of units which inadvertently has been used as a back entrance to the parking spaces at the rear of 300 East Terrace.

4. I agree with the comments already made concerning the construction of apartments on East Terrace. If such a development should go ahead, the height of the apartments should be no more than 4 storeys. 2 x 11 storey blocks are totally inappropriate for this area of Adelaide. Strong consideration needs to be given to the residents who live nearby and who pay their council rates. The disturbance caused by the noise and air pollution during the demolition and building of the apartments would be totally unacceptable. Personally, I would prefer that no apartments be built - just leave East Terrace as it is.

5. This must be people movement if you want to stop this totally inappropriate for east Terrace, all those lovely houses etc. no high rise on East terrace!!!
   It is too late when this development is passed!

6. The 11 story planned development is completely out of character for this corner of the city. We do not support it’s construction. All properties within that whole block between Angas and Carrington streets are no higher than 2 stories. The over shadowing to neighbouring homes will be significant and will ruin the outlook for many properties.
   I’m all for progress but it needs to be appropriate and the setting for a development of this size should not be approved in this neighbourhood.
   I also have concerns for the future of the large gum tree at the front of this block that attracts many of the native bird life.
   There was a letter drop made within the last week by Plan SA to some homes within the area. The communication is seeking affected residents support or opposition to the development. There have been some properties missed in that letterbox drop that are directly impacted by this development. It is very disappointing that in 2022 deceptive tactics are being taken to get the least opposition to a development like this one. Please ensure all residents affected within the area have received the letterbox drop and have an opportunity to respond well before the cut off date of 14/02/22

7. This building submission is outrageous. The sheer size, height and block density is completely out of character with East Tce.
   The last 2 high rise apartment builds on East Tce, have hit the water table, resulting in thousands of water being pumped 24 hours from their basements into the run off. This water belongs to the parklands.
   The irony of creating a beautiful new wetland area in the parklands, while allowing building projects that are depleting our water table, and possibly endangering our birds and bats with the risk trauma caused by flying into the high rise buildings.
   I strongly object to this build.
