14 Moorilla Av, Carlingford NSW 2118

I am very concerned that a liquor delivery business should not be allowed in Moorilla Avenue, Carlingford. This is a residential area where the streets are filled each day with cars owned by commuters who park here and walk to the M2 bus stop on Oakes Road to catch the bus to the city or Macquarie Park. As a result of this, only one lane of traffic can proceed up the street. A liquor delivery business would attract extra traffic and trucks and could be a safety issue for residents. I would be happy if this application was rejected.

I am writing to express my strong concern regarding the application for a new packaged liquor delivery-only licence at 14 Moorilla Avenue, Carlingford NSW 2118.
I am particularly concerned that establishing a liquor delivery business at 14 Moorilla Avenue will have a negative impact on the quality of life for local residents, for the following reasons:
1. Unsuitable for a Quiet Residential Area
Moorilla Avenue is a peaceful, residential street, and it seems highly unusual to establish a commercial liquor business in such an area. The introduction of a business of this nature is inconsistent with the suburban character of our neighbourhood and raises concerns about its long-term effects on the community’s atmosphere.
2. Increased Traffic and Congestion
On weekdays, Moorilla Avenue, along with Coral Tree Drive, Pepperina Place, and Oakes Road, is already overwhelmed by cars parked by commuters using the M2 Oakes Road bus stop. This parking congestion has effectively reduced Moorilla Avenue to a single lane of traffic, making it difficult for residents to navigate and diminishing the overall safety and liveability of the street.
The addition of commercial deliveries to and from 14 Moorilla Avenue will further exacerbate this issue, increasing traffic congestion, noise, and disruption. Delivery vehicles and increased traffic flow are not suited to a residential street already under pressure from commuter parking.
3. Impact on Residential Amenity
The potential for increased noise, delivery activity, and general commercial disruption will significantly degrade the amenity of the area. This will affect not just the immediate neighbours of 14 Moorilla Avenue but also the wider community living along the surrounding streets.
While I respect the applicant’s right to conduct business, I firmly believe that approving this application will adversely affect the quality of life for residents in Moorilla Avenue and the surrounding neighbourhood. A commercial liquor delivery business belongs in a commercial zone, not in the middle of a quiet residential suburb.
I recommend that this application be rejected.

I am writing to express my strong concern regarding this application for liquor delivery business at 14, Moorilla Ave, Carlingford, NSW 2118. This is a quiet residential street not suited for this type of business. This will have a negative impact on the quality of life in the neighborhood. This will have an impact on local traffic, currently the road is congested with people parking here to catch city buses. The road itself is narrow and this will make the situation even worse by having more traffic, noise and disruption. I believe this type of business better suited in warehouse premises not in residential area. I recommend that this application be rejected.

I do not feel this is a suitable property for a business where the possibility of a large number of big vehicles traversing through the already very congested local streets and roads.

I am very concerned about this application and the implications it would have for the residents on this street. This is a very busy street as it is due to it being close to the M2 bus stop and nearby schools. There are usually cars parked on both sides of the road already, so having a business selling wholesale would only increase congestion. It is not a business that is suited to a residential area

I have previously commented on this potential business development. The application states that only "deliveries " will take place. If this is correct, where will all the alcohol products go? I can only assume that pickups will happen resulting in further vehicular traffic congestion within this already choaked up area.
