Another monumental failure of the planning laws. Margaret Street is very narrow and totally inadequate to accommodate this development. Traffic reports are a farce. Peak hour traffic delays in feeder roads beyond a joke. Half hour delays in traveling short distances commonplace. Back streets have become car parks. Might as well re-zone the Elizabeth Crescent island R4 high density and be done. There is no planning; it is all cramming.
Windsor Road should have been widened before ANY of these traffic generating developments were approved. THAT IS PLANNING. That is how it should operate; what we have is a shambles masquerading as progress. Elected and paid officials are a disgrace. Development consent documents worthless spin and lip service - unenforceable trash. Communities have no protection once the complicity is sealed.
Look at the daily news to see what is occurring in these centres; inadequate staff, child abuse, emergency management and evacuation procedures will be found wanting in emergencies. The coroner will have a field day and everyone will say it ain't my fault.
