Mixed Use Development 184 Fifth Ave Austral

Please refer to the attached documents.

I highly suggest developing the access from fourth Avenue to fifth Avenue into a multi-lane round about to facilitate increased traffic before starting this project, or at least before this project finishes. My main concern is the traffic this will cause not only once the dwellings and retail are established, but the increase in traffic during construction. If traffic could be diverted to Edmondson Avenue through Fifth Street during construction that would be ideal.

Additionally, I would suggest an expansion of Fourth Avenue nearing Bringelly Rd. During school pick up and drop off times this road can become piled with cars in both directions, something a roundabout can't fix. Lane expansion, for both households to the west of Fifth Avenue and for the growing retail space to the east, would be sufficient.

Increased short-term on-street parking on fifth avenue adjoining these retail development could also be useful as to not overwhelm the carpark, and the development of sidewalks so people in nearby neighbourhoods can safely walk to this development, reducing the amount of car traffic.

I support the project, I believe it will significantly improve housing affordability and availability in the area.

I would however like to see the number of units and storeys significantly increased as well as units set aside for essential workers.
