1. Off street parking.
   Please consider the impact the number of cars being shoehorned in to this street.
   In particular the corner just preceeding this proposed development has become dangerous due to cars parked on the road forcing on coming vehicles on to the wrong side of the road on a blind corner. There have already been incidents throughout the street.

   Single driveways are simply not sufficient. Regardless of the ability to park vehicles in tandem, the reality is that one car is parked on the road so the owners dont have to shuffle cars, irrespective of the danger or inconvenience to other residents. As a result the road is severely congested. It is now unsafe to drive at the posted speed limit for fear of an accident, or worse, a child stepping out from behind parked cars.

   I know resident after resident has highlighted this issue but please consider that once built these duplexes cannot be changed to fix the parking issue.
   I strongly encourage the planning team to visit this, and surrounding streets, at varing times of the day to see the impact this is having on the area. Further, having lived abroad, I recommend the team look to the UK to see how bad this issue can get. Fringe suburbs with streets lined with parked cars where there is no passing for oncoming traffic. Its an extreme example but the opportunity to avoid it is now.

   I hope you consider the impact the residents are calling out. I would have duplex houses built as the exception in Revesby heights, not the norm, but I will settle for a sensible approach to parking.
   Best regards,
   Jason

2. I would also like to raise the issue with regards to the over development of the Revesby Heights area. I agree with the issues raised by Jason and also believe that the planning team needs to visit the area to experience the difficulties faced by the local residents.
