I strongly support this application.
Sydney has a dire shortage of student accommodation and there may not be a single site in the entire city better suited to it than this one. Located on the most well served road for buses in Australia, transport and parking is not a concern, particularly because it is easy walking distance to shops, university and amenities.
The design is extremely high quality, and will substantially improve the streetscape, with the current building being unremarkable and ugly.
My only concern is that it should be larger and taller- 7 storeys is too low for such a perfect location.
If council is serious about the housing crisis and urban amenity, it should approve this application as quickly as possible and enable this development to proceed.
