1. Considering the way they keep the taxi base at Carrington rd and the surrounding rubbish that eminates from the premises,i could think of nothing worse,its too small and wiil increase hard rubbish ,not to mention paper coffee cups around the surrounding area.

2. These premises are currently operating as a taxi exchange. In an area where parking is predominantly on-street this poses a problem due to the influx of drivers leaving their cars in our already congested and narrow streets. They park in 'no standing' and 'no parking' areas which is dangerous at that point of union street with cars often nearly colliding as they pull in from the Princes Highway and Smith Street.

3. As a resident of Union Street, I'm very much concerned with the parking situation. Our street is a very narrow street and parking is scarce. we have parents park on our street picking kids up from school and to add the taxi drivers to that will be a disaster to us, tax paying residents and will affect our quality of life. It will also increase traffic in our street where so many kids love playing.

   Thanking you for your consideration.

4. Will the taxis be prohibited from parking on the street? How will this be enforced. I don't live on the street but it already congested with traffic and parked vehicles. I would hate for it to be inflicted with the same issue that council is ignoring on Henry St in Sydenham where taxis are parked all day and night, where they are switched over and plates transfer from one vehicle to the next. No one else gets to park there and with the influx of units being built in the area parking is already at capacity without the addition of business.

5. Could council please clarify what changes will happen if this application is approved. The site is already being operated as a 24/7 taxi facility. Or is it just a retrospective application and approval process?

6. People the very same operators failed to get approval in 33 burrows rd , then at 9/2 burrows rd Sth they applied for 18 cabs and were knocked back even when they reapplied for 6 cabs but had a combined 60 cabs plus operating not now they had to move and just expect to be approved but the rms doesn't check approvals to grant accreditations they are required to have off street parking for each and every plate they operate . Marrickville council was lied to numerously when they tried to operate out of burrows rd Sth so stand up against these thugs who think they can take all our street parking and destroyed 2 commercial businesses who relied on large truck deliveries but we're always unable to enter driveways due to drivers parking into the driveway leaving space for motor car to fit through only

8. At the end of union st there is a primarynl school. Pls the street is not wide. It doesn't appear to be good planning to put a 24/7 taxi business. This is a residential area with lots of children walking around. Taxi sometimes park on our st already as there is not enough space for them there. Most of the house on union st use off street parking it will create mor congestion.

9. As a former resident of Union St, this is an absurd application. I continue to use this street daily.

   The current operation of this business is already clearly problematic. This development will only make it worse. Even without this business, there is no surplus available parking on this street. The business already creates extensive illegal and unsafe parking by the taxi drivers. It is a noisy operation run 24/7 which has been placed on top of immediately adjacent residential housing. If the history of this operator's previous applications is correct (as mentioned in other comments), that would indicate that compliance with any conditions is unlikely.

   There is no justification for the approval of this application or any variation of it.

10. I just video'd the guys vacuuming multiple cars at 10:15pm on a Monday evening.

    Not acceptable!!!
