The current conditions of the existence buildings developed by Piety is very poor quality and Building commission already found some serious defects in the existence buildings, therefore any more high rise with this developer should not be allowed unless they rectify ALL the existence defects in their current and past projects. Also in this particular proposed buildings in the low rise sites of the suburb therefore no more than 9 stories of building heights will look eye shores and will cause over population growth to ruin the neighbourhood.

It is disappointing that this development has provided very little for the community. If this proposal does go ahead, they should be made to expand the Pulse Club facilities (Double its size). This will then provide the much-needed expansion of the Gym, rooms for classes and meeting so that all residence from the Piety Site, Waterfront Estate and Harbour Side have enough facilities, as all are entitled to. The so-called Park they installed is small and doesn't provide enough space for the community. The development will also look out of place with having more than 9 stories compared with all the other buildings within the estate.

These two buildings sit on the busiest intersection in the area. Across the road is an area of protected habitat, that is at risk from overshadowing from the increased height.
The developers did not finish the other buildings appropriately, why are they being rewarded with additional height? They were to provide community facilities regardless of the completed height. There is inadequate public planning in WWP for the existing residents let alone an increase in height size. The buildings should harmonise with the existing height levels.

15 storey buildings are not in keeping with the southern end of WWP.
High rise approvals on the northern end of WWP should not entitle the developers to assume they can have more uplift in an already built out area.
The proposal is positioned on the busiest corner intersection of the only road in and out of WWP.
The development allows for no extra parking. Driveway access to garages will further strain local roads and add to congestion at this terrible intersection.
The pocket park is unfenced with no line of sight from one end to the other.
The buildings and pocket park are constantly under remediation with some features never working (waterplay).
This application is unfair to people who have bought in this development (and surrounds)in good faith already.

Our community has come back to the planners time and time again. The community voice has always been united in saying this area of Wentworth Point was designed with common facilities-gym, pools, courts, meeting rooms-based on all buildings having a maximum height of 8 storeys. These facilities CANNOT support additional residents over the original planning limits. Part of each resident s strata fees goes to these facilities- with a population increase the ability to access these facilities will diminish. It is unfair to change the community facilities proposition that current residents have already engaged with

How can we still be here negotiating the levels again!! It’s unacceptable. How many times does the community have to complain and put in submissions? This is not ok! The once again modification of higher story’s is not in keeping with the existing development on the side of Wentworth point. The congestion, the lack of facilities and infrastructure. The already over population when will it end?
What an eyesore it would be! The current development has so many defect problems too why would you allow them to build more?

The developer for One The Waterfront known as Piety has built out very low quality buildings on site and should be forced to significantly lift standards on any new development. Traffic noise is extremely audible within the developers existing apartments on site. This level of noise pollution is not acceptable for the health and wellbeing of residents.

Since the developer was awarded uplift on site against the strong wishes of the community. The developer Piety must be forced to offer some kind of VPA in exchange for this uplift. 15 storeys is significantly out of character for the rest of the DCP. Facilities should be offered in exchange as Wentworth Point is severely lacking in facilities of all types.

Wentworth Point buildings having a maximum height of 8 storeys, why should this building be any different. Also, there is insufficient street parking in the area now, a taller tower will only add to the lack of street parking and create further traffic congestion during peak hours.

I have bought an apartment in One The Watefront less than a year ago because there was NO highrise. If I would have liked highrise, I would have gone to the other end of Wentworth Point. The neighbourhood is nice as it is and we don't need any awful tower to ruin it. This part of the suburb has the structure and the space that allows socialising with people, we would actually need more space, not less. Huge buildings increase estrangement with all the related consequences. The new buildings shouldn't be taller than what initially planned. Plus, I agree with the other comments about the poor quality of the construction, they are always fixing something, they should finish those works first.
