1. The increased number of children will mean that there are even more cars seeking to drop off and pick up children from this centre. It is already a really busy intersection at school times and if someone is trying to turn right into Gymea Bay Rd from Avenel the traffic backs up incredibly. Has any consideration been given to installing a roundabout at this intersection to aid traffic flow as a result of increased traffic from these developments.

2. Typical of less than ethical developers, sneak through a s96 after the initial approval. Let's hope the council has the sense to refuse this cash grab. There is surely not enough children in the gymea Bay Area looking for care that warrants this approval. There are already in a 2 km radius at least 5 child care centres with 1 more in at council waiting approval( in an even worse spot in Coonong rd). Wait for all the hand ringing and outcry if god forbid someone gets injured at this already congested intersection

3. This has to be a joke! My comments are still against the original DA. Next door is a 40 place centre so potentially 128 children over 2 adjacent sites. Not to mention the 873 enrolled students at Gymea Bay Public School approx 150m away.

   In my opinion the original DA approval was dangerous on the grounds that parent pick up and drop off access is in a dangerous position .

   Can the council at least get an independent traffic study done around the current traffic numbers + the estimated increase due to this centre. By that I mean not to use some traffic data from a few years back as they did with the original DA.

   The intersection at Avenel and Gymea Bay Road needs a roundabout at the very least.

4. I agree that we need a roundabout at the corner of Avenel Rd and Gymea Bay Rd as the traffic congestion in the morning is already bad enough. In addition the crossing being so closely positioned to the corner is extremely dangerous for pedestrians and needs to be moved further up into Avenel Rd. Because of the embankment obscuring a small portion of the view of the crossing, you can be almost on that crossing before you see any pedestrians. Please don't approve the increase in number of children for this development...too many cars equals increased traffic snarls.

5. This is ridiculous there isn't adequate street parking at the moment, council should ensure that the developers supply the additional parking spots on the premises. The initial application of 45 shouldn't have been approved and this additional application shouldn't be considered. Gymea bay doesn't need a 86 place child care centre. When is council going to intervene and and look after its community. The traffic and pedestrians are are already being compromised
