1A Hill Street Dulwich Hill NSW 2203

Are you kidding?!
Another block of high-rise developments when the one around the corner from this has upset so many residents in this area.
Council members - have you tried to find parking in this area, have you tried driving along Canterbury Rd or Old Canterbury Rd during peak hour?
Do you know how bad traffic and roads are in this area?
What makes anyone think that over-populating such a small area is in any way going to be good for Dulwich Hill?
This will not be a community any more if Marrickville council allow all these high-rises to take over the landscape and the skyline.
Council are being irresponsible if they allow these high-rise developments to go ahead.
You say our streets need to be sustainable?
How do you plan on achieving this when the streets are not coping at the present.
Tomorrow's Dulwich Hill? Let's just call us the next Alexandria. Without the multi-lane streets required to cope with the increase in traffic.
You ask about the impact of heat? With all these high-rises no one will even see the sun anymore, is that your solution?
Very disappointed that another high-rise development application has even been allowed to be submitted.
And knowing Council, the opinions of local residents will have no say on the final decision.

I do not have a problem with this development providing it keeps in mind existing residents' privacy needs. More residents in the area would be good for local businesses and attract a greater mix of businesses to local retail strips. Sydney has a housing crisis and developments like this will be part of solving that.

Heights must be in keeping with the the surrounds.

While I support ongoing development and densification of the area I am strongly concerned about building heights being increased in a manner not in keeping with the local environment. The surrounding streets are predominantly single storey detached dwellings and there is a significant risk that oversized developments will not be in keeping with the surrounding neighbourhoods and will be a significant eyesore, a risk of overshadowing and a blight on the urban landscape.

In regards to this development 10 storeys is far in excess of surrounding developments. 4-5 storeys would seem reasonable.

I implore Marrickville Council to ensure that all developments are of the highest quality in terms of architecture and design and effectively integrate with and enhance the surrounding urban environment.

Let us not forget about the terrible urban vandalism inflicted by recent multi-storey developments near Dulwich Hill train station. Let us hope Marrickville councillors have and Council as a whole has the integrity to prevent outscale and downright ugly abominations like this ever happening again.

10 storeys - this one takes the cake. What is our Council doing? This fails at the first post.

I am not adverse to development but there appears to be no forward planning or thinking. Our roads are clogged with no way of expansion. Our public transport is already heavily used and there is no mention anywhere in any publication about lobbying for additional services.

It is fine to say attracting more people for businesses in the area. One of the main problems is accessing those businesses - there is not enough parking. The IGA is the main supermarket which will not be sufficient for the proposed increase in population. This will mean people need to get in their cars and drive to other areas to conduct basic week to week shopping.

Housing crisis - sure providing more housing but it is not affordable. $600K for a one bedroom unit, hardly affordable.

I support further development of my suburb, however the height of this is block is not sympathetic with the immediate area and should be reduced to no more that 5 stories.

10 stories! That's higher than the building I work in, in the city. Absolutely ridiculous to suggest such a monstrosity should be built in a residential area. This plan shows no consideration for the local residents and infrastructure.

Attention Marrickville council:

This is not a sympathetic DA to the area proposed. The proposed height is way out of proportion to the surrounding dwellings. The local roads will not be able to support the increase in traffic. The heritage of the area will be lost to a "new world" look which most residents do not want. These residents are your voters.

Please give a long hard consideration to these factors, and there are plenty more not mentioned, when reviewing this DA. Don't bulldoze Sydney's history for the sake of a quick buck now. The long term ramifications will be far more serious to the community and while you may not still be in office then to have to deal with it, your voters and community will.

This may have been an appropriate development if there were significant efforts by State Government to greatly increase public and active transport and other infrastructure in the area. But alas, there are none.

On the contrary, with the plans for WestConnex proceeding, namely the longest underground tollroad system in the world, both federal and state government clearly have no intention for Sydney to go down this path.

The WestConnex project will encourage greater car dependency all over Sydney and will worsen the already hideous congestion in the area, making it unfavourable for residential development.

Until such time as WestConnex is cancelled this development can not be allowed to proceed. Clearly the priorities of the State Government and the WestConnex Delivery Authority are in conflict with the developer.

i dunno about you guys but i have always wanted to live in a poorly-designed studio flat inside the bhp billiton logo.

just joking this building is awful, way too tall, and totally out of character for the area.

10 stories is a joke. Why this application would be seriously considered at this height, I would be very interested to know. In no way fitting with its immediate surrounds and the suburb as a whole. An easy kill to rack up 66 dwellings, with the long term pain to be felt by residents for years to come. I have never been too involved with the goings on of council to this day, but if this monstrosity gets any more than a side glance I will be taking a big interest, real quick.

Based on the information available this DA is not good for the area in both the short or long term.

I am very much in support of further development to DH but a building of this height and density is not in keeping with the surrounds. It will only add to crowding and increased strain on resources.

Firstly, I would request longer consultation periods, especially during times of high development interest and activity. It's very disappointing that my comments will not be formally considered.

I live in Hill St. It is a cul-de-sac. Council and the Joint Regional Planning Panel have already approved 246 units over 4 buildings of 8 storeys in the "Arlington Grove" development between Hill St, Grove St and Constitution Ave. However both the entry and egress to all 246 units is from Hill St alone.

The proposal for 1A Hill St means traffic for a further 66 units will need to use Hill St alone as its access point.

That means 312 new dwellings and associated traffic accessing these developments from Hill St, a cul-de-sac.

It was inevitable that the land on which these 2 developments will be built would be used for higher density residential once the light rail extension was completed. That's reasonable in principle. But I struggle to understand how decision-makers see this kind of traffic increase to be fair or reasonable and I am yet to see any plan to ameliorate it.
