1. Are you serious?
   Right near a school ?
   It’s already congested enough during school drop off and pick up.
   Also, How can council guarantee that some dirty paedophile wont have a balcony view of my kids playing in the playground ?

2. This is a quiet residential area. Pumping 55 units into the space of 3 residential properties is completely out of keeping with the broader area.
   > St Mary's school at Rydalmere is already congested and drop-off and pick-up is already difficult, and only readlly possible at all while the small carpark across the road (which does not belong to the council) is available.
   > Ideally the development in this area should be limited to duplex to maintain the charm and character of the area which has raised considerably as the area has gone through a natural rejuvenation over the last few years, however the development across the road at 16 Myrtle street was limited to 3 storeys and 12 units, which should be the absolute largest development which is allowed in the area. It is also worth noting that the demolition 16 Myrtle street, a fibro property, occurred next door to a school with no appropriate measures taken to control the potential asbestos distribution, it was simply smashed to the ground while the kids were playing in the playground next door.
   > The development will completely destroy the privacy of the residents living directly behind this development, all of whom are no doubt long term residents who the council is meant to protect, not simply bend over whenever a development walks into the room with a proposal to get rich and destroy a local community.
   Why is it the council will happily line the pockets of a developer, but seem to not care at all when their actions seriously devalue the resident's investment in their property and local community. These developments ultimately force more adjoining residents to move out of the area, and more high density development being put in their place, and all of a sudden we have a lovely ghetto and increasing crime to deal with (which we are already experiencing due to the over development in the Dundas/Rydalmere area).
   Please do your job and represent the needs of your constituents in these matters and stop selling out our communities.

3. What a joke. 55 apartments in a quiet street next to a school which is on two sides of the road and the kids are crossing the road all day, A 40zone all day to help keep the kids safe and you decide to allow more and more cramped housing which means an excess on cars driving around. It’s an accident waiting to happen. You need to send someone there to watch all the kids that are on the road and see if this development is safe for those kids in the care of the school. 15 units max should be allowed! This seriously makes me sick to thInk what could happen to a child crossing the road as a result of greed.

4. To the planning dept at Parramatta Council,
   I live one road away from Pine St and this time you have made a grave error allowing such a huge development in this location. Please re-think your decision with this deveiopment and what you’re doing to our area. Its bad enough having cheap ugly duplexes popping up everywhere & I’m sure none of you would like to live with such awful developments on your own doorsteps, Thank you.

5. This is insanity. Imagine the parking schmozzle that will ensue from this thoughtless construction. The child safety issues will escalate. What is more important Council: more rates or doing your civic duty and consider the needs of all stakeholders? Obviously child safety is paramount. Please take heed and cancel this submission is is inappropriate in this area.

6. Parramatta council approved a brothel two doors from the chocolate shop which runs workshops for children stating it was an 'industrial area'. I am concerned lining pockets are too great an incentive. I hope in this case council puts the community first and that common sense prevails!

   I also ask that council blocks this application and listen to the feedback this time.

7. This is absolutely disgraceful. 55 units is overkill. I am supportive of having "affordable housing" built, but this potential mega structure is out of character with the neighborhood.
   I foresee this turning into a slum in future years. It's up to us, as citizens, to say enough is enough - we need to vote out these politicians who continually support population growth. Vote them out, put them last on the ballot, at local, state and federal level.

8. I'd like to contribute in a positive way. The development planned in the area is in keeping with the general revitalization of the area. With the current rejuvenation and re-energising of the local area paired with the advancement of the adjacent Parramatta, makes for a fantastic opportunity for so many people moving to the district.

   This is a perfect opportunity to transform the area and provide many more options for public infrastructure.
