1. Enough is enough for this estate. We have seen endless sub-division and expansion of property in the Anne Rd area and as yet still have no controlled intersections to get is and out of our suburban streets. Waiting 10 to 15 minutes to get out of our pwn streets is not a quality lifestyle. Add to the issue of traffic, now council is adding height? Why? I think I know the answer, to reduce neighboring values and alow easier pick up by the same developers. This is spreading like a cancer across Knox its time to say enough!

2. The Knox Council in their wisdom have actually done a great job with rezoning areas and keeping dense developments to the main roads providing opportunities for young families and couples to take advantage of public transport, local shops, and affordable housing. This is a very well thought proposal and it meets Local and State Government Planning Policy Framework regarding growth zone developments. We highly support and encourage such developments specially when such energy efficient architecturally designed townhouses are proposed surrounded by an extensive meaningful landscape design accommodating canopy trees. Furthermore, this site has good access to public transport being located on the Principal Public Transport Network (PPTN) which is another reason why we are in full support of more townhouses and apartments built along Stud Road. We highly support this development and a big thanks to Knox Council for their support.

3. Have to agree with Mark. Takes me ages to get out of my street on to the main road and as it can take that long people are taking risks due to frustration. The number of car accidents at non controlled intersections have been on the increase for years, i guess this goes hand in hand with the increased property numbers due to sub divisions. Appears Knox is just becoming one of those councils that approve sub divisions because it means more rate payers and more money. As i look around the neighbourhood it appears the council must be making money due to reduced costs as things are just not getting done in the community. Simple things like lawn mowing has fallen behind.

4. Aaron & Mark, The only way to stop this is for the government to reduce net overseas immigration numbers down to where they were 10 years ago. Currently upwards of 200 new residents are arriving in Melbourne every day. They all need a place to live, jobs, and public transport or car. Knox once awakened to birdsong in the morning now it's chainsaws, wood chippers, demolition machinery and building construction noise. Council are powerless to stop this unsustainable population growth, they can only try to manage it. Talk to your local members of Parliament, they are the only ones who may be able to put pressure on to slow or stop this.

5. We just had council elections. And you, the people of Knox have voted back in all the councillors that are in favour of multi story buildings. Starting with real estate agent and ex mayor.... If Friberg ward. Followed by his best mate in Baird ward and their cronies in Dobson, collier and so on. Maybe in 4years you take note to who you vote for. This next 4 Years is going to see Knox be over built with multi story buildings. Sad.

6. Obviously you are a Developer or Similar May Leng, What Public transport network?
   Are you talking about the Busses that run up and down Stud Rd Because thats all the public transport we have.

   The development in Knox is actually past any reasonable level, but this is definitely a State wide issue, Our Real estate ex Mayor is only along for the ride with his mates.
