Adding additional living/sleeping space to existing properties in the Municipality is the best way to protect our community from government mandated population increase by 2036. If the municipality fails to approve developments to house an extra 15,000 people than we are under threat of having government grants to North Sydney cut back.
Here's the choices:
1. Continue to destroy the amenity and community, which is the core of our daily lives, by approving obviously incongruent high rise apartment block developments (look at the Pacific Hwy between North Sydney and Crows Nest, look at the destruction of Crows Nest, with moves to do the same at Neutral Bay, etc.). I don't want a 'Mascot Towers' debacle in this municipality.
or
2. Encourage sympathic development that fit into the existing community of the municipality, such as this one. Add a bedroom to an existing 'home' or, where appropriate, maybe a room over an existing garage.
I support this application if it fits the amenity of the area without destroying.
