1. I have significant concerns about the height of this proposed development as it will set a precedent for further developments in the Princes Highway corridor.

   Historically, the ridge running above Banksia railway station is thought to be one of the sites Captain James Cook climbed to to in 1770 to assess the area surrounding Botany Bay.

   Thousands of residents who live on this ridge are at risk of having this historic outlook blocked by the proposed development of high rise appartment blocks. Whilst there is a certain inevitability of development in the local area, rows of 10 storey appartment blocks along the highway at Banksia and Arncliffe will completely destroy the views and ambience for many current residents of these areas.

   I am not against the development of unit blocks in this area, but feel that there should be height restrictions with no blocks being higher than the current block of units on the corner of Banksia Ave and the highway, next door to the Woolworths Petrol Station.

   My other concern is the impact any high rise developments will have on the already overcrowded traffic on the Highway. We are already suffering the impact of poor infrastructure development around Wolli Creek with many large apartment blocks and a road system which has insufficient capacity to deal with the increased amounts of traffic in the area. Further high rise decvelopments locally are only going to exascerbate this issue.

2. An interesting and enlightening view thanks Sandra and I would agree with your comments
