116-118 Junction Road, Wahroonga, NSW

It is my belief that there is an over-abundance of senior living establishments in the Wahroonga area.

Seniors who may live in the proposed establishment have NO CLOSE ACCESS to shops. The nearest shop is Hamden Avenue Shops (700 metres away - 10 minute walk one way). PEDESTRIAN CROSSINGS are NOT available for safe road crossings on WESTBROOK AVE - on the way to this shop. The uneven and hazardous Junction Lane may prove difficult to traverse and this may result in SERIOUS INJURY for the senior person.

A senior may get killed or injured trying to cross the busy highway-like Junction Road.

Allowing property development businesses to take over our unique suburb will result in a disjointed community, low levels of community satisfaction and low family home - ownership.

Over the years Wahroonga has changed from being a leafy retreat for upmarket living to a soulless place where nameless companies make exorbitant profits in (mostly) seniors living developments.

This is a development by sun properties - they set up companies for their developments. They have set up a web site for this development and one other called Archland.
They are doing questionable quality i.e. colour bond roof and colour bond clad walls - and huge density (18 dwellings) in Douglas Street St Ives. 35 submissions went in objecting to the development. The residents want answers why this was allowed. We need to lobby our politicians to stop over-use of land, low quality, highly dense developments occurring within the loopholes of SEP 5 without re-zoning. Chadwick real-estate listed the property in Wahroonga and in the sales literature suggested SEP 55. Chadwick real estate are trying to now market the one in Douglas Street St Ives.
