1. This is not suitable for this corner property, it will be to close the Highway and those poor children will subjected to carcinogenic fumes from trucks and cars. Violet Town Rd. is a race track and the traffic report says that south bound traffic will use the Floraville Rd intersection to go south AT SCHOOL HOURS, the traffic around Floraville public school was not taken into consideration and please note that most traffic takes a short cut down Camberwarra Dr and then across to Floraville Rd via Nyanda Ave, this will increase traffic through suburbia and pass another preschool.
   The traffic report also stated that there was 40kmh zone already in the area, these are the ones that are supposed to be observed when a bus is stopped and flashing its 40kmh lights which NO ONE observes, so you have traffic doing 80kmh and above right next to the proposed child car centre, I wouldn't let my child go there even if it was the last one around. If cars are going to exit the car park and turn right they will not be able to see the cars coming off the highway from north or south until it is to late. If this is approved it will be a disaster waiting to happen with possible motor vehicle accidents or even worse a child getting cancer from the fumes. I think an air quality study should be done over a period of at least 4 weeks to see how much they will be exposed to.

2. The existing infrastructure around this area is totally unsuitable for centres that will bring increased traffic. They are single track roads with Housing at each side and parking on a busy road to get children out of cars is an accident waiting to happen. There is a childcare centre in Valentine that has a tiny car park but the majority of parents park on the road often unloading when moving traffic is flying past to work etc.

3. As impacted neighbours of this development ,I along with all affected parties wish to forward this potential "Development Application No: DA/1689/2016,Lot 1019 DP575936 by CKDS Archictecture for the Kinda Kapers Flag Ship Child Care Centre to you ,our Elected Councillors -
   Jody Harrison - Labour Party,Laurie Coughlin - Independent,Wendy Harrison,-Independent,Ken Paxinos - Liberal,Kay Fraser - Aust Labour Party,Brian Adamthwaite -Aust Labour Party,Rosmairi Dawson - Independent,Barry Johnston,-Independent,Daniel Wallace - Aust Labour Party,Robert Denton - Liberal
   for your information and consideration of our situation.As "Long Established "Rate Paying Residents we do not wish this development to be approved by Lake Macquarie City Council following their "consideration "of a Child Care Centre being allowed to be constructed in a R2 Low Density Residential Area .Would you please consider and read all of the close proximity neighbour submissions which incorporate all of the major concerns at the Track My Application - LakeMac , Lot No. 1019, Section DP 575936 .This potential Child Care Centre if approved will incorporate , as per the Development Design,132 child enrolments which include 80 Pre-schoolers, 20 Toddlers,32 Babies and 24 OOSH students,a total of 156 Children along with approx 21 Staff ,which is, in comparison,the size of a Small State School (data 2017 ) for example, Marks Point Primary School - 148 Pupils,Blacksmiths Primary School - 100 Pupils, Mount Hutton Primary School -178 ,with only 22 more Pupils enrolled.Based on the guideline for development of a Child Care Centre within the Lake Macquarie Council Area,this Development would contravene the majority of guidelines including - Built on a State Road with more than 10,000 car movement per day,Telecommunication Towers in close proximity and Extreme Bush Fire Zone as per RFS . This Development of a 156 place Kinda Kapers Flagship Child Care Centre will have a huge impact on all neighbouring residences and this suburb , and also create major road /traffic congestion on both Violet Town Road ,Belmont North and the State Road - Pacific Highway, Belmont North if approved for development by Lake Macquarie City Council.

4. This development would be detrimental to this residential area. That corner is already dangerous . We have ourselves seen close calls with cars turning across in front of 80km traffic. I wonder who will take responsibilty when a life is lost there. Its human nature to do whats easy and I can forsee parents pulling off to the side of the Pacific Highway to " run in and get the kids" and the trying to pull back out into 80km traffic. It would be a catastrophy waiting to happen.
