1. Disgusting...modern dog boxes being touted...16 of them!!! surrounded by period homes including one of Werribee's most beautiful heritage homes...all downgraded by wyndham councils greed...and inability to say no to mass dog box and tasteless development...another rental slum in the making...great decision council...you should be ashamed...

2. 16 town houses are far to many. The number should be significantly reduced and the facades be in keeping with the surrounding homes.

3. I agree that facades should be in keeping with the area. Modern is great in new developments, but in established areas keep the Victorian, Federation style facades

4. As a nearby resident, I am concerned about the pedestrian traffic impacts as there is a blindspot near the driveway with a large brickwall blocking visibility.

   The road this development is proposed for only has one footpath, so I am concerned about the location of the driveway for the proposed development as all pedestrian traffic walking along Edgar street walking to the bus stop and basketball stadium will use this footpath outside the proposed development.

5. The VCAT appeal of this amended development application WYP10483/17 was heard this week.

   During the hearing, the developer's representative argued that the frontage of the proposed development was consistent with Factory next door.

   I am hopeful that VCAT will reject the amended development application for 14 units the development as it is still out of character with this street.

6. Cross our fingers, vcat rarely take neighbourhood character into consideration in non blue chip suburbs...the plans for these dog boxes are so tasteless like the other tasteless modern homes in the street...completely out of character...typical developers being allowed to build more rubbish in the suburb...

7. The even scarier thing is that it is unclear to me whether the VCAT Tribunal member hearing the case is obliged or assisted to visit the precinct as part of her deliberation.

   The developer waxed lyrical about how spacious the area is with wide grassed median strip.

   He did not offer the reality that 2nd cars for the occupants, and visitors cars, will join the neighbours parking all over that same median. When it rains it turns to a bog so I can forsee a request being made by the residents and neighbours for additional paved parking areas defacing that same median strip.

   The young WCC rep at the table with the developer, only uttred one word during the 90minutes I was there. This was YES to corroborate the statement by the developer that the Council was in agreement. They have reduced the DA to 14 instead of 18 x 3 storey townhouses.

   Still 12 too many.
