    Living right across the street from this proposed development, like many others in our suburb, our main concern is off-street parking. Therefore we would like to raise our concerns with our recently elected councillors AND relevant planning authority, because no one seems to have any sense when it comes to urban development in Cheltenham and Mentone and everyone is looking for a quick profit.

    Already a major issue at this end of the street, every single day there is someone parked right up against the end of our driveway, often right up to the actual corner of the service road, along the white painted line. Our house is a corner subdivision & we have a double garage and driveway, and it's already an issue that we frequently find people parking on either side of our driveway and at the end of it on the opposite side of the street, making it nearly impossible to drive out. Twice I have not been able to leave the house because of this & notes left on windscreens have had no effect or discouraged appalling parking etiquette. And that's as it is now, there is another planning permit for a strata or multiple dwelling occupancy at number 32.....

    To further compound the existing problem which exists because in addition to the 3 units opposite our house, there is a block of 8 flats and most of these occupants have 2 cars, so the street is already full of all these extra/excess vehicles. We are extremely concerned that this new development - although we realise it will have to include off-street parking - won't provide enough, or any visitor parking and the situation - already untenable - will become far worse.

    The proposed 30+ apartments on the Latrobe Street corner site that will abut this particular site should surely give council pause for thought here? There is only so much parking in the service road, and only on one side! And in the case of this development and unlike Latrobe Street, Booker Street is a narrow street already over-used as a thorough fare to get to Charman Road.

    There appears to currently be traffic counting occurring in Gillman street (4/11). However, the flaw in the data being collected is that the strips are set over half way down the street (between 11 & 12 Gillman st), therefore only counting less than half of the traffic in this street! Very odd and clearly problematic if this data is to be used to determine the current level of traffic in this narrow, no-through road!

    Actually my error, the traffic counting strips are between 15/16 Gillman...perhaps the contractors couldn't get the stops closer to the top of the street due to so many cars parked in the top end of the street?
