1. It it not acknowledged that roads are already full during the afternoon peak. Is it not acknowledged that there are homes right across the development which would be affected by noise, is it not acknowledged that there is a driveway right in front of the traffic lights. I find it completely ludicrous to construct such a large car generating building on a small suburban street which is already at capacity even without the metro expansion.

2. This is an unwanted and complety unnecessary development. There are 2 huge Bunnings stores in Alexandria , there is absolutely no need for a duplicate money-grabbing venture here. The roads are already jam-packed, Marrickville is incredibly short of green space, and this sort of ugly strip mall type of development contributes nothing to the local environment. It will sell disposable crap from China and put small businesses out of operation. Do not let this monstrosity go ahead.

3. If the future WestConnex motorway is to function properly, the exiting traffic coming into the area should not be hindered by extra cars clogging local roads. To ease the traffic flow, on the contrary, density and activity in this area should be minimised. This hardware store will undoubtedly create many additional car and utility vehicle trips travelling across and counter to the general WestConnex streams of traffic. This could generate delays and gridlock streaming back into the M5 east extension and create a dangerous situation inside the tunnel.

   Until such time as WestConnex is cancelled this development can not be allowed to proceed. Certainly the interests of the WestConnex and Woolworths Ltd are in conflict here.

4. I don't believe this development will add anything to the local community, apart from extra traffic & noise.
   There are already many hardware warehouses in close proximity - do we really need another?

5. This development appears oversize for the area.

   There are smaller factory spaces that are being used for local business here, such as the children's gymnastics centre on corner of Edinburgh Rd and Sydney Steel Rd. It is already necessary to park on street and walk kids into their gymnastics class - an increase in traffic would be detrimental to this strip.

   I would prefer to see business that encourages walking, especially given proximity to Metro and Enmore Park rather than business that encourages car use in this area.
