1. PLEASE NOTE: THE INFORMATION ON THE PLANNING ALERTS SITE AND MAP LOCATION IS WRONG.

   However, I strongly object to this proposal for the following logical, reasonable reasons:
   1. Since it is on Community Land and the applicant says he is also doing it for the community to use as well as personal use, this drive way will be a child magnet for every local child that has a skateboard. This could lead to serious accidents since the driveway begins at Longview Crescent which is only one of two roads into Stanwell Tops. A child could possible skateboard onto Longview into the path of a vehicle because of the length and slope of the driveway.

   2. The driveway curves around a power pole which a child could easily crash into.

   3. There is no mention who is responsible for the insurance in case of accidents.

   4. A young child playing in the park can easily wander off and onto the driveway to be hit by an on a vehicle coming up the driveway.

2. I further object to this proposal for the following reasons:

   1. Regardless of the applicant's "Right of Carriageway" lease which was granted in 1998 for $5,000 with Wollongong City Council, the actual lease document makes no mention of allowing a driveway to be physically built.

   That the lease is only allowing access to the back of the property which is why a driveway was never built.

   2. A crossover has also been built at the rear of the property at double gates. The crossover is physically located within the community land of Henry Halloran Park itself. This crossover is not shown on the plans.

   Council must ask the applicant why it was built.

   3. The following link shows a documentary on the applicant's access way excavation and is video evidence of Objection to this DA:
