Lismore Hospital Redevelopment - Stage 3A

I am the joint owner with my wife, Victoria Murphy of
6 Fermoy Avenue and 6A Fermoy Avenue, Lismore. These properties are directly negatively affected by the proposed vehicular use of Little Uralba Street, by truck and van deliveries 24 hours a day.

6 Fermoy Avenue is directly opposite Little Uralba Street and will consequently be directly affected by lights and noise at night. The property has already be negatively affected by the placement of the Mental Health facility directly opposite (screams and sirens) sometimes for an hour or more, at night.

I am really concerned that this next building stage of the Hospital complex will render my two properties unsuitable for residential purposes. These properties are currently rented to working people who have been complaining to me about the noise and extra activity at night ever since the new Mental Health facility was completed.

I understand the the Hospital extension will benefit the whole community and is necessary. Some consideration should be given to re-zoning residential blocks that are directly affected
by the Hospital extensions to use for more intensive
medical purposes only. For example, height restrictions. This would enable residential blocks such as mine and those in Weaver Street to be used as non-residential and potential day time medical use.

As it stands, the value of these residential blocks will reduce dramatically as the extensions to the Hospital proceeds.

I suggest that Planning and Infrastructure should be examining this problem now with the owners of the affected properties to resolve matters earlier rather than later as conditions deteriorate further.
