1. I make this submission in relation to DA 2017/444, Hotel and Hospitality Training School, Kangaroo Bay:
   I am concerned that this development is inappropriate for the site on which it is proposed to be built and for Bellerive. I have seen the new DA containing amendments to the original DA, which has been lodged in an attempt to address the concerns of many residents of Clarence and greater Hobart.

   While it is good to see that an attempt has been made to address concerns about the height and proximity to Cambridge Road of the Hospitality Training School, in essence it does not address issues arising from such a development including
   - the use of Crown Land for Commercial purposes
   - the destruction of the heritage of the site, which was the terminus for the Bellerive-Sorell Railway and, as such, provided a gateway for people and produce between the City and south east Tasmania
   - the loss of public access to this foreshore area
   - the loss of the amenity of this picturesque site, which is unique and the reason why people choose to live in Bellerive, but will be obliterated by the height of the building if this development goes ahead
   - insufficient parking facilities,
   - increased traffic flow,
   - the impact on safety of pedestrians and children going to and from the 3 primary schools in the locality.

   These concerns are not addressed by the new DA.
   Given the rising level of public concern about this development, the Clarence City Council needs to have the courage to walk away from it, go back to the drawing board and return to its original plan for this site, to develop it as a community facility, to enhance the area for public use, not to take it away..
