1. Dear Mr McGrath, We are not opposed to the proposal for a dual occupancy per se.
   We do have concerns with the development in a part of Macdougall Street which is only a strip of bitumen one car width wide. All of the traffic accessing Macdougall St including the beach access, Jabiru Way and Pipeclay Close must use this narrow piece of bitumen from Pacific St. As all of the blocks in this area are gradually being built on more and more traffic is being generated. In Pipeclay Close there are a number of multiple dwellings including one house which is used by fruitpickers who have had up to 10 vehicles. At the moment there are 2 minibuses parked there. Added to this are the numbers of semitrailers which access the area. On garbage night bins have to be placed right up adjacent to the bitumen as the sides of the road fall steeply making it impossible to do otherwise. So for one day a week and possibly more if bins are not removed promptly no vehicles can pass.
   There is no parking available adjoining this dual occupancy proposal and as stated the road falls away steeply into the drain.
   This strip of bitumen which need attention is only 64 metres long so before approval is given for this development and for the safety of everyone using this area, consideration should be given to widening this 64 metres of roadway which fronts this proposed dwelling.
   Yours Sincerely
   Jennifer and Len Kenna
