Kellyville Station Precinct Concept Proposal

To whom it may concern


Re: Objection to application SSD 10343 Kellyville Station Precinct Concept Proposal

We the undersigned oppose the proposal in its current form, the proposal is an over development for the area. It is unclear how infrastructure demands are going to be met which will impact our quality of life.

The following are items would need to be addressed to meet infrastructure demands
• Expansion (Stage 2) of Caddies Creek Reserve Playing Fields with four (4) additional playing fields;
• 8ha of new local parks (including riparian land along the Elizabeth Macarthur Creek corridor)
• New roads and intersection upgrades;
• New pedestrian footpaths/cycleways and creek crossings (bridges); and A new community facility of 1,650m2 to be located in the Bella Vista Town Centre (with potential for a 4,000m2 facility subject to Council agreement to fund the additional 2,350m2 of GFA).
•
The following are other concerns that we have and why we oppose such a development.
• Concern regarding proposed setback variations for residential flat buildings;
• Concern regarding insufficient car parking proposed;
• Request that future development achieve The Hills Shire Council’s housing mix and diversity objectives;
• Concern regarding excessive street wall lengths;
• Proposal of a mechanism to secure delivery of medium density housing forms;
• Identification of the need to ensure streets provide a uniform and logical profile with the existing streets already constructed by NRT and that a 2.5 metres shared path is provided along all streets to facilitate both pedestrian and cycle movements;
• Concern regarding undersized parks proposed in Kellyville Town Centre;
• Concern regarding the design excellence strategy and consistency of built form outcomes if different consent authorities and Design Review Panels are utilised for different projects within the Precincts;
• Concern that the additional population will also generate demand for an additional high school which has not been identified; and Concern regarding inconsistency of information presented within different material and supporting studies.

Yours faithfully,

I have been to the North West several times. I am glad that the metro stations phase 1 is completed and access is now easier, and that further improvements are being planned.

The Kellyville Station Precinct Finalisation Report referred to some rezoning considerations at Stanhope Gardens Newbury Estate as no longer being progressed as part of the Kellyville Station Precinct Proposal. I wonder why that is, especially since there is general support for the rezoning proposal to high density residential, largely from those living in the area. There seems to be merit in this, as it will allow more people to affordably move into this decent area that is also conveniently close to the metro station, and further develop this area into a richer diverse community.

I would suggest due consideration be given to the inclusion of rezoning of this area as part of the Kellyville Station Precinct Proposal.

I have a house in near Parramatta, and have friends in different locations in North West. I'm an entrepreneur. I fully support that the areas near the metro stations need to be developed.

I like the idea to build tennis courts beneath the train bridge. Also to build apartment buildings or multi-storey car park buildings. In many modern cities such as Singapore, Hong Kong and London, metro stations are build underground, and apartments are built above the station. We can't change anything now since the metro staions are completed. But at least we need to utlise the lands near the station. For example, part of the land at Stanhope Gardens (Newbury Estate) could be developed into apartments, or multi-storey car park. There might be hundreds of cars crossing the Old Windsor Rd every morning from Stanhope Gardens to Kellyville just for parking. Would that be possible to build a car park building at Stanhope Gardens so it's easier for the people to commute? This will effectively solve the traffic issues along the Newbury Ave and Samantha Riley Dr. Hope this will be considered since some people are concerning about the traffic, as listed in the report.
Perhaps also to build apartments above the mult-storey car park?
