    I am a resident and a member of the Body Corporate Executive Committee at 4 Wilkins Street. These blocks are immediately in front of our apartment building, Mawson Court.

    It has come to our attention that once these blocks are consolidated, there are plans to build a 4 to 6-storey residential/commercial building. The plans for these buildings were created over 7 years ago. The demographic of the area has changed significantly with many first time, young and affluent, owners now living at Mawson Court. Owner occupancy is at 60%. We are seriously concerned that the proposed buildings once the blocks are consolidated will obstruct our views (thereby decreasing their value), block the sunlight (I saw from the plans submitted in 2017 that a sun assessment has been conducted but request a second evaluation) but also increases the congestion in the area. This congestion was exemplified during the pandemic when the roads were blocked as people from Farrer, Torrens, Pearce, Swinger Hill, Isaacs, and Mawson, went to the shops to buy supplies.

    We need to have a guarantee that these 6-story buildings will NOT be built in front of a well-established feature of Mawson (even with its gritty past) - and that a proper consultation reviewing plans from 7 years ago are conducted.

    Yours sincerely and very concerned.
