1. Dear Sir/Madam
   Please note our objection from the owners of 1/2/3/4 -5 Duke Street, Stuart Park via our Body Corporate committee managed by Jan Rodgers Real Estate. My property 2/5 and 1/2 is immediately opposite this proposed site.
   The main points for objection are:
   1 This area is transforming into a quality residential area. A motor repair area is only a “discretionary activity” and backs immediately and opposite to residential properties. 5 Duke Street already has submitted noise complaints in recent weeks from our complex for late night noise. I am also regularly disturbed by car revving, and hammering from the complex. A block of units also face the front of the non-approved repair shop and noise goes straight towards this block of units. Our Body Corp is supportive of this being used for it’s approved storage purpose. This type of business does not fit into the ambience of the area. Having received complaints already while operating covertly. We are concerned if approved, how much increase in noise will occur,
   2 Parking is already an issue on Voyager Street, and this business will bring more vehicles into the area with subsequent noise from compressors, engines revving etc. Darwin City Council in the last 24 Months have imposed parking restrictions on this street to reduce parking and noise problems.
   3 The applicant is an established vehicle rental dealership trading seven days a week 24/7 - Territory Fleet Leasing” ie Thrifty Rent a Car. The Body Corporate committee is very concerned that this facility will be used at odd hours to accomodate this large car rental tourist business. This would be out of character for the residential style area of Voyager and Duke Street. There is no other Commercial style business on these two streets!
   4 There is a history of the residents of Voyager Street opposing the change of aspect and life style of the street when 8 Voyager Street was attempted to be rezoned and was rejected by the Planning Minister, note PA2011/0866. Longer term Duke and Voyager Street will become more dense residential style accomodation. This development will become an anachronism to the area if approved.
   I thank the NT Lands Group for considering this joint objection from 1/2/3/4 Duke Street as residents immediately impacted by this application and their request to stop this application proceeding from this large motor vehicle rental car operator.

   Thank you

   Jason Dyer
   On behalf of 5 Duke Street Body Corporate Complex holders.
