    Yet another multi unit development that wants a reduction in car parking and loading bay facalities - it's a recipe for traffic disaster, especially along Sydney Rd!

  2. Emeritus Professor Alexander Grishin AM commented

    This is a case of over-development, where too many units are being squeezed into the available space. The lack of provision for adequate car parking is a recipe for chaos and disaster. Do we really need a fatality to occur before we as a community will decide that enough is enough. Such developments need to be stopped until they are adequately modified to provide parking and support a lifestyle that attracts people to this area.

    I agree with the above comments. The building is an over-development of the site. I object very strongly to these repeated requests by investors (who don't live in the area) to waive car parking requirements and loading bay requirements. These requirements are in place for good reason and represent the MINIMUM acceptable conditions for building in the area. Any developer not prepared to meet these MINIMUM requirements, should not be allowed to submit an application. I do live in this area and pay for the right to park in my own street. This is already becoming increasingly difficult after work and on weekends.
