The major problems with what is proposed:
- G R O S S over-development of the site
- Does not comply with minimum setbacks in SEPP 65
- The DCP which sets the planning controls, is flawed and misleading
- Adverse impact on the character and amenity of the surrounding residential and commercial areas
- Exacerbates existing parking and traffic problems
- Creates a poorly designed gated community physically separated from the rest of the area and fails to provide a safe and healthy environment for its occupants
- Involves the demolition of a building of considerable heritage significance, which was on land previously owned by Council
- The proposed redevelopment is a cheap and very ordinary proposition that is driven by commercial profit and pragmatism
- Council, as a stakeholder in the proposal, has failed to properly represent the community by taking a leadership role in its development.
