    I strongly object to any reduction in the parking requirements. I live in the immediate area and parking is already a problem that creates dissent and unpleasantness among neighbours. My friends sometimes even refuse to visit me because parking can be such a problem. They demand I visit them instead, citing parking hassles.

    Furthermore I am sick and tired of the lack of respect for the inner suburbs as already existent communities. All too often these days the inner suburbs are seen merely as the means for property developers to make massive mega-bucks, or as throughways for people living further out. The density of people living in the area has far outstripped resources such as open spaces (these are also regarded as more important for bike commuters than for locals, as Council's recent Rushall Reserve decision shows).

    Moreover the mass of all these new high-rise apartment blocks is altering the whole sense of living in the area - one is being constantly loomed over and the human scale is lacking. It is time the impact of development was looked at over the whole area, rather than on a one-by-one basis for each development. The mass and size of new developments should be scaled down.
