Re : IGA LIQUOR LIC. COLLAROY PLATEAU

I feel we have enough if not too many liquor / bottle shops in Collaroy Plateau at present.( two immediately in the area and another 3 very close by )
The community does not need another liquor outlet especially when a public school is directly across the road from it.
IGA Collaroy Plateau is frequented by mothers before school and after school every monday to friday with their young children, they certainly dont need to be paraded in front of exotic bottles of liquor at that age.
I fully DO NOT support any moves to include selling of liquor at any more venues in or arround collaroy plateau.

Thankyou for this opportunity to express my fellings.

RE: APPLICATION FOR ADDITION LIQUOR RETAIL OUTLET IN COLLAROY PLATEAU
APPLICATION APP-0000787668

I wish to lodge my objection to the abovementioned application on the following grounds.

Collaroy Plateau is a small family oriented community village and is already well served by two bottle shops. In addition there is a bottle shop at the bottom on the hill in each of the 3 directions east (LiquorLand), south (Time and Tide) and west (Wheeler Heights) possibly already giving Collaroy Plateau one of the highest liquor-shop-to-household ratios in Sydney if not Australia.

The proposed bottle shop would be located in the Augusta shops directly across the road from two primary schools (St Rose and Wheeler Heights). An existing bottle shop is already located in this shopping strip. Adding another one literally metres from the existing one in my opinion would serve to give the impression to young minds that liquor stores are more important than grocery stores, newsagents, pharmacies, video rental stores, bakeries, fish and chip shops, delicatessens and bookstores (one each of which is located within the Augusta shopping strip). It is my considered opinion as well as those of the community with whom I have discussed this issue, that an additional bottle shop is completely unwarranted and completely out of the character of the area.
