1. This land should never have been sold by the council. Parking for the South Geelong station is already at a premium. Streets are at capacity and clogged with cars.
   This land should be left vacant to provide expansion and parking for the station . Instead commuters, residents park in the streets around.
   28 units will only cause traffic chaos and those 28 units will have visitors and where will they park? This is a busy intersection (Foster and Bellarine Streets) , with the design of the street and intersection able to cope with traffic 40 years ago. Is the intersection going to be upgraded to cope with the influx of additional traffic?
   Why does the land have to developed just because its vacant ? Planning should be for parking and alleviating the burden of parking at the station and surrounding areas not adding to it by planning 28 units, which is the case of the developer squashing in as many units as possible to make a higher return. If it has to be developed why so many ? 5 would be sufficient .
   Commuters travel from the other side of town to park at South Geelong to try and get a seat , South Geelong Station needs more parking not more traffic and cars to push the limit to a premium which this development will do.
   It’s about the planning department and the council working together. Not just approving developments to obtain more rates but actually respecting current residents who reside in the vicinity . These residents pay premium rates .Maybe their rates should be lowered as their quality of life will be affected by this development.
