I write to request that renewed consideration be given to the impact this application would have on the wellbeing of the children of UNSW Tigger's Day Care Centre.

My understanding is that the original documents used to develop this application did not indicate that the space adjoining Tigger's main building complex (Lot 1 DP330632 and Lot 1 DP60283) has been used as a garden and play area for the children of Tigger's for some 10 years, after being gifted for this purpose by the Director of UNSW Facilities Management.

I can thus understand that the application was originally framed to suggest that free use could be made of the land now in question.

But now, more accurate and up to date information is at hand and should be given due consideration. I thus request that the approach proposed by the application be re-assessed and that new options be developed, with the aim of preserving the current use of the land, namely as an active and integral part of a day care centre for a large number of children.

I would also like to request that if use of the land is to be made for the purposes of supporting the light rail project, then all measures should be taken to minimise any impact upon the children of Tigger's. I mean not just in terms of minimising how much the light rail project would diminish the resources available to support their growth and development of these children, but also by way of minimising dust, noise, vibration, and any form of pollution or toxicity. The possibility that some of the Tigger's children may be susceptible to respiratory or immunological conditions cannot be discounted, and as such it is imperative that the strictest measures are enforced to ensure no impact upon the children by the light rail project.

Needless to say, reasonable distance must be maintained between any light rail project activities and the baby section of the day care centre.

Finally, it would seem that a legal approach is being taken by some, suggesting technically the land in question is not officially allowed to be a garden for Tigger's. Legalities are one thing, but there is a clear ethical obligation to accept the reality that this land has been an integral part of Tigger's for a decade. To take it from them without due consideration or compensation would be needlessly harsh.

Take 2 hours out of your day, visit Tigger's Garden, and see the reality on the ground. Bring your old maps, and some texters, so you can update them.

I can only hope wisdom prevails.

Thank you for the opportunity to contribute.

Sincerely,
Nicholas Walmsley

To whom it may concern,

Tiggers Honeypot is an award winning child care established in 1995. The centre was opened as facility of excellence by the Hons Mason, dedicated to further educational research. Tiggers have contributed heavily to publications in education and cited in the productivity report for a high quality services.

The Garden, located on Lot 1 DP330632 (western section of garden) and Lot 1 DP60283 (eastern section of garden and building), was originally a community garden and was gifted to the UNSW childcare centres in 2006 to `ensure that the garden space will remain for the benefit of the children and assist in their early childhood environmental learning.' (Letter dated 4 August 2006 and signed by Alan Egan, Director of Facilities Management)

Since then the staff, parents and children of Tiggers Honeypot have, and continue to, develop, maintain and enjoy the garden in all weather - rain or shine. The garden and work by Tiggers community has been recognised officially in garden awards by Randwick Council and plays a substantial role in the attraction of the centre to current and prospect parents (Staff of UNSW) and their children.

So although the space is `is not currently part of the formally licenced area for the childcare centre' (Page 51 MODIFICATION REPORT: SSI-6042 MOD 4, Stop changes - High Street, Randwick) the community garden is an integral part of Tiggers DNA, and is very important to my child who attends, myself as a parent and to my family as part of the Tiggers Honeypot community.

It is important to me and my family that impact the garden is minimised as much as possible.
1. I would like to submit the following concerns about the proposed access road:
1.1 Loss of Tiggers Honeypot Community garden and its impact on my child's learning and development which is enhanced by access to this space.
1.2 Proposed design dissects Tiggers Honeypot community garden in half rendering the remaining garden in Lot 1 DP330632 (western section of the garden space) inaccessible for the children due to safety concerns.
1.3 Uses too much of Lot 1 DP 60283 (Tiggers Honeypot community garden space and facility) and is too close to the facility (building) - particularly the babies (6 weeks to 18 months) room.
1.4 The proposed design doesn't reflect an understanding of the surrounding property's and residences impacted for example
1.4.1 The level difference between Tiggers Honeypot and the adjoining properties
1.4.2 Access point for Kenvale College could be located of Lot 1 DP546495 (access road from Arthur Street) and not Lot 1 DP330632 (Western section of Tiggers Honeypot community garden)
1.4.3 Tiggers Honeypot uses the garden space in all weathers. Removal of the space, regardless of the size, will negatively impact the children, their parents and staff.
1.5 That the construction and operation of the proposed access road will impact the childcare facility and amenity in the following areas:
1.5.1 Noise
1.5.2 Dust
1.5.3 Vibration
1.5.4 Contamination
2. I formally request the following:
2.1 No impact to Lot 1 DP 60283 (eastern section of garden and building) and that the land to be maintained for use by Tiggers Honeypot as a garden space.
2.2 Minimal impact to Lot 1 DP330632 (western section of garden)
2.2.1 The proposed access road on Lot 1 DP330632 does not connect to Lot 100 DP836801 (36-38 High Street - Kenvale College) but via Lot 1 DP546495 (currently access driveway to Tiggers Honeypot community garden). See point 2.3.
2.2.2 The proposed access road on this land needs to only connect SP 9261 and SP 22052 (Residential properties 42 & 44 High Street) to Arthur Street.
2.2.3 The proposed access road on this property, currently identified to be designed to a local road standard, be downgraded to a driveway. This will reduce the space and design criteria for the proposed access needs for SP 9261 and SP 22052 (Residential properties 42 & 44 High Street) (refer to point 2.2.1).
2.2.4 The proposed road moves as far as possible to the western section of the property leaving as much of Lo1 DP330632 connected to Lot 1 60283 - to maintain the usability of the space for the community of Tiggers Honeypot.
2.3 The proposed access road using Lot 1 DP 546495 meets the requirements for commercial access by expanding, if required, into Lot A DP406491 (10 Arthur Street, Randwick) and Lot 31 DP 599615 (12 Arthur Street) and links into Lot 100 DP 836801 (Kenvale College site) at the junction of the two properties (Lot 1 DP 546495 and Lot A DP406491) and accessing the Kenvale College site via the parking lot at the northern section of the property. This will remove the need to have the proposed access road from this point southwards Lot 1 DP330632 (western section of garden) meet the commercial requirements (see point 2.2) and to be downgraded to `driveway' standards.
2.4 Lot 1 DP15324 (26 Botany Street) be used for the access requirements for Lot 2 DP234000 (46 High Street) and remaining space on the land be used as UNSW parking facility.
2.5 Any impact to either Lot 1 DP 60283 and Lot 1 DP330632 (Tiggers Honeypot community garden) be replaced with like for like or better in the remaining garden space and within the licenced childcare area (rooms and attached outdoor spaces) and that Tiggers Honeypot are consulted during this process.
2.5.1 Do note: that focus of the centre has to be develop and maintain the community garden space over the need of the outdoor areas attached to the rooms. These attached outdoor areas will need to be upgraded as part of this process.
2.6 Tiggers Honeypot Parent committee be considered a major stakeholder and consulted at the concept and detail design and at the construction stage.
2.7 All impacts resulting from construction and operation of the access road, including contamination (lead, asbestos), noise, dust, vibration impacts to the building and loss of amenity be addressed specific to the specialised needs of a childcare facility.
2.8 I sincerely request a one month notice is provided to the Director of Tigger's Honeypot Childcare Centre (Sylvia Turner) and the Tiggers Honeypot Parent Committee before either construction of the access road or the relocation and upgrading the of current garden assets start (whatever occurs first) to enable Tiggers Honeypot to document and celebrate the garden. This will help my child/ren and those attending Tiggers Honeypot understand what is going to happen, as they are the ones who will be most impacted by the proposed access road, regardless how small the impact. A month, though small, will help me and Tiggers Honeypot do this.

I respectfully request that all my concerns and requests are addressed and resolved.

Kind regards,

This past February, my niece gave me a tour of her beloved garden at Tigger's Honeypot Centre. She recounted stories of climbing trees, collecting eggs and fruit, and cracking macadamia nuts. Her four year old mind is filled with joyful experiences, and mine is amazed at all of the lessons she has learned from that garden space. It saddens me to hear that the garden might be destroyed. I am upset that the life experiences gained by my niece might not be had by my nephew nor by countless other children.
I am writing to request that Tigger's Honeypot garden be left intact. I am asking that Tigger's Centre Parent Committee be consulted throughout the rest of the process. The garden is ESSENTIAL to the program at Tigger's, not a quaint add-on. Many children have gained vital lessons from the garden, and I hope that this will continue for years to come.

the proposed move of the light rail to the left hand side of the street will severely impact access to our College. As it is the main entrance, all access is monitored increasing control to the site. We have a carpark at the rear which has been proposed as a new entry point. this will however, reduce the number of on site car spaces by five, this increasing vehicle street parking in the vicinity. It also means than all university students alight at our side of the street which may be a safety issue for crossing the road. the logical solution is to keep the light rail in the centre of the road, thus not blocking any access to either side. this may mean making the road one way.

Hello,

I work at Kenvale College located on 38 High Street Randwick.
* This light rail project will greatly affect myself and most worryingly will affect Kenvale College students.
* This project will remove the High Street carpark access making it more difficult for students to come to college and obtain their learning. As well as being very inconvenient for staff who drive to work, which is almost all staff members.
* Most detrimental to Kenvale College is the noise that the construction of both the light rail and the new carpark will have on the students learning. Car park construction especially will affect the College's Academic building and thus be a large detriment to our students learning.
* The light rail construction will impact all staff in the administration building which is closest to the road on High Street. The administration building is where all our departments are based and thus will great affect all staff's ability to work, which will be incredibly detrimental to the college.

To whom it may concern,

I'm writing to disclose my concerns regarding the Light Rail Project on High St, Randwick.

I am a staff member of Kenvale College and have two major concerns:
1. Loss of parking spaces (estimated at least 5):
- I live in the hills district and drive to work on a daily basis. Given that our parking is shared with Creston College, our parking is already limited as it is to share between Kenvale admin staff, lecturers and Creston College. The loss of approximately 5 parking spaces would likely mean that some staff members will have to park on the street which will make it extremely inconvenient given that most of it around High St is metered parking. This will be almost impossible on a daily basis and will significantly impact on productivity at work having to move cars every few hours.
- part of my job at Kenvale involves me travelling on and off site for different events. This means that I will likely be one of those staff members who will have to park on the street if I arrive to the college mid day/later. This could waste a lot of time trying to find a car space also as it's already quite tight around this area of Randwick.
- If lecturing staff are stuck without car spaces this will have a very big disruptive impact on the academic department and responsibility of the college to deliver quality education. Lecturing staff are all either part time or casuals, they usually arrive at later times according to their timetables. If they are stuck without parking, they will have to be driving through the street looking for parking and could be late to class or eat into their preparation time. We cannot afford this to happen as it would disrupt the learning of the students and the overall reliability of the college to deliver a quality education
- I also cannot afford not to have a car parking space because my work hours are not conducive to travelling via public transport due to timing, safety and distance.

2. Noise
- I work in the front administration building facing the road side. Having the light rail terminal just outside our building will significantly impact us due to the added noise levels. This is an old building and isn't sound proof. Having 400 people alight every 4 minutes will add noise but so will the noise and vibration from the light rail itself as it would be so close to us.
- The noise levels during construction will also impact on productivity and disruption

3. Security Issues
- Opening up our college from two sides of the road will expose us from a security perspective having an extra access point into the college. Although I don't work in the finance team directly, part of my job is that I'm exposed to the general financial position of the college and it will have a big financial impact on us having to build two new security gates. We are a Not for Profit College and it is hard enough as it is financially. My job is focusing on the growth of the college, having money spent on gates will impact the amount of budget I will be able to get to focus on growth and development for the college. This would mean a loss of students and income for the college.

Thank you very much for your kind consideration.

Sincerely

When the idea of having light rail from Circular Quay was announced, I was very happy with the idea that we would no longer have massive queues for the 891 bus to Central nor have to walk to Randwick Junction to catch buses to the city.

However, I am very disappointed and upset with the plans to move the light rail stop from the middle of High St to the left hand side of High St i.e. right in front of my workplace. Most people would think this is a good thing but as Finance and Facilities Manager of my workplace, I can think of many problems that will arise from this shift:

1. The removal of our private driveway as well as having access from both High St (walk-in) and Arthur St will lead to increased security issues. I work for a non-for-profit college and the last thing we need is extra expenditure to increase security for the staff, students and the property.

2. The removal of some of the car parking spaces that we do have to make way for the Arthur St entrance will be detrimental to staff who live in the Eastern Suburbs that drive to work.

3. The noise that will come from the construction both on the High St side as well as the Arthur St side will be detrimental to both staff and students. And later down the track, the noise from the light rail as well as from the passengers alighting from the transport will be detrimental to staff with the stop being so close.

4. There could also be problems with delivery trucks if Arthur St is not wide enough to accommodate them.

I'm not saying get rid of the light rail stop. I'm just saying go back to the original plan of moving it placed in the middle of the street. Whatever happened to thinking of the little people?

I am a resident of Creston College. In general, I like the idea of having the light rail from UNSW to the city. What I don't like is the fact that the stop and the construction of the stop on High St, just outside of Gate 9, is going to be so close to where I live. Middle of the road is fine. Right in front of my bedroom with just a wall separating me from construction noise, the actual light rail and where people will alight from the carriages. No, thank you!

What's wrong from having it in the middle of the street or having it further up like where the current bus stop is?

We largely support this design modification, which aims to reduce the impacts on our trees & green spaces in Randwick. However, there are details that do not entirely succeed in doing this.1.We support the proposal to move the Randwick interchange away from High Cross Park to High St. 2.However, we oppose the removal of at least 7 trees in High Cross Park to build a substation. We urge the project to move the substation closer to the new Light Rail alignment, where it will not impact trees or the park.3.We oppose the 12 new trees to be removed in the middle of the block bounded by Wansey, High, Botany and Arthur streets as a result of changes to the UNSW stop. 4.We also oppose the extra 2 trees to be removed on the UNSW side of the Light Rail stop on High St.We hope you will consider our support for this proposal with its objections to improve the outcomes for Randwick even further.

Terriorist are always extremely frightening forever saddening and nothing good ever comes from it. This is how I feel and many others in the community with the uncaring planning that is being proposed. Please do the Light Rail Construction on the existing road ways, this is what we as a community were tricked into believing was going to happen and is the right and only way going forward to make all agree. Thank you.

I support 100% Keeping Randwick's Trees

The points of concern regarding the application to the amendment to the CSELR project for me as the Manager of Hospitality services at Creston College:
* Due to revised property access there will be difficulties associated with deliveries to the College as well as security (we will be sharing the access with three other properties). Also rubbish disposal will be problematic as it will need to happen from Arthur Street. Likewise access for grease trap emptying will problematic as it is located on High St.
* Security will also be compromised due to the large volume of people alighting the light rail at the front of the property.
* Noise and vibration impacts both during and after construction completion is concerning because of bedrooms located at the front of the property on High St.

I have deep concerns and strongly oppose this latest modifications to the construction of the light rail stop just in front of our residential college.

This will seriously impact Residents' welfare due to
1. noise escalation resulting from increased pedestrian traffic
2. security issues due increased exposure to pedestrian traffic
3. 8 bedrooms close to this frontage will experience increased noise and vibration interruptions ALL day; more critical during sleeping hours
4. Resident access complications as this will mean we will have to install a security gate at our main entrance besides our current secure door entrance.

This will result in serious Household Management issues including but not limited to the following:
1. access to our garbage collection is at the front of the building
2. delivery of goods goes though the front of the building
3. access of Grease Trap maintenance is at the entrance of the building; timing this utility service during shut down of light rail service will incur additional RECURRENT cost on Creston College
4. reconfiguring/re-routing of this services, especially delivery of kitchen/food items to the back of the building is highly inefficient as our kitchen is located on the High Street side of the building
5. costs to reconfigure/ re-route this services is unforeseen and non-viable for a not-for-profit organisation like ours

This plan will gravely impact the identity and market competitiveness of the college:
1. our frontage and signage of the college will be lost a hidden behind a light rail station
2. due to the items mentioned above on impact to resident welfare, the number of prospective applicants will surely decline (who wants to live in a busy, noisy, security-compromised dwelling?)

Suggestion:
Go back to the original approved plans and position the stop in the middle of the road

To whom it may concern,

Tiggers Honeypot is an award winning child care established in 1995. The centre was opened as facility of excellence, dedicated to further educational research. Tiggers has contributed heavily to publications in education and cited in the productivity report for a high quality services.

The Garden, located on Lot 1 DP330632 (western section of garden) and Lot 1 DP60283 (eastern section of garden and building), was originally a community garden and was gifted to the UNSW childcare centres in 2006 to `ensure that the garden space will remain for the benefit of the children and assist in their early childhood environmental learning.' (Letter dated 4 August 2006 and signed by Alan Egan, Director of Facilities Management)

Since then the staff, parents and children of Tiggers Honeypot have, and continue to, develop, maintain and enjoy the garden in all weather - rain or shine. The garden and work by Tiggers community has been recognised officially in garden awards by Randwick Council and plays a substantial role in the attraction of the centre to current and prospect parents (Staff of UNSW) and their children.

So although the space is `is not currently part of the formally licenced area for the childcare centre' (Page 51 MODIFICATION REPORT: SSI-6042 MOD 4, Stop changes - High Street, Randwick) the community garden is an integral part of Tiggers DNA, and is very important to my child who attends, myself as a parent and to my family as part of the Tiggers Honeypot community.

It is important to me and my family that impact the garden is minimised as much as possible.
1. I would like to submit the following concerns about the proposed access road:
1.1 Loss of Tiggers Honeypot Community garden and its impact on my child's learning and development which is enhanced by access to this space.
1.2 Proposed design dissects Tiggers Honeypot community garden in half rendering the remaining garden in Lot 1 DP330632 (western section of the garden space) inaccessible for the children due to safety concerns.
1.3 Uses too much of Lot 1 DP 60283 (Tiggers Honeypot community garden space and facility) and is too close to the facility (building) - particularly the babies (6 weeks to 18 months) room.
1.4 The proposed design doesn't reflect an understanding of the surrounding properties and residences impacted for example:
1.4.1 The level difference between Tiggers Honeypot and the adjoining properties
1.4.2 Access point for Kenvale College could be located of Lot 1 DP546495 (access road from Arthur Street) and not Lot 1 DP330632 (Western section of Tiggers Honeypot community garden)
1.4.3 Tiggers Honeypot uses the garden space in all weathers. Removal of the space, regardless of the size, will negatively impact the children, their parents and staff.
1.5 That the construction and operation of the proposed access road will impact the childcare facility and amenity in the following areas:
1.5.1 Noise
1.5.2 Dust
1.5.3 Vibration
1.5.4 Contamination
2. I formally request the following:
2.1 No impact to Lot 1 DP 60283 (eastern section of garden and building) and that the land to be maintained for use by Tiggers Honeypot as a garden space.
2.2 Minimal impact to Lot 1 DP330632 (western section of garden)
2.2.1 The proposed access road on Lot 1 DP330632 does not connect to Lot 100 DP836801 (36-38 High Street - Kenvale College) but via Lot 1 DP546495 (currently access driveway to Tiggers Honeypot community garden). See point 2.3.
2.2.2 The proposed access road on this land needs to only connect SP 9261 and SP 22052 (Residential properties 42 & 44 High Street) to Arthur Street.
2.2.3 The proposed access road on this property, currently identified to be designed to a local road standard, be downgraded to a driveway. This will reduce the space and design criteria for the proposed access needs for SP 9261 and SP 22052 (Residential properties 42 & 44 High Street) (refer to point 2.2.1).
2.2.4 The proposed road moves as far as possible to the western section of the property leaving as much of Lo1 DP330632 connected to Lot 1 60283 - to maintain the usability of the space for the community of Tiggers Honeypot.
2.3 The proposed access road using Lot 1 DP 546495 meets the requirements for commercial access by expanding, if required, into Lot A DP406491 (10 Arthur Street, Randwick) and Lot 31 DP 599615 (12 Arthur Street) and links into Lot 100 DP 836801 (Kenvale College site) at the junction of the two properties (Lot 1 DP 546495 and Lot A DP406491) and accessing the Kenvale College site via the parking lot at the northern section of the property. This will remove the need to have the proposed access road from this point southwards Lot 1 DP330632 (western section of garden) meet the commercial requirements (see point 2.2) and to be downgraded to `driveway' standards.
2.4 Lot 1 DP15324 (26 Botany Street) be used for the access requirements for Lot 2 DP234000 (46 High Street) and remaining space on the land be used as UNSW parking facility.
2.5 Any impact to either Lot 1 DP 60283 and Lot 1 DP330632 (Tiggers Honeypot community garden) be replaced with like for like or better in the remaining garden space and within the licenced childcare area (rooms and attached outdoor spaces) and that Tiggers Honeypot are consulted during this process.
2.5.1 Do note: that focus of the centre has to be to develop and maintain the community garden space over the need of the outdoor areas attached to the rooms. These attached outdoor areas will need to be upgraded as part of this process.
2.6 Tiggers Honeypot Parent committee be considered a major stakeholder and consulted at the concept and detail design and at the construction stage.
2.7 All impacts resulting from construction and operation of the access road, including contamination (lead, asbestos), noise, dust, vibration impacts to the building and loss of amenity be addressed specific to the specialised needs of a childcare facility.
2.8 I sincerely request a one month notice is provided to the Director of Tigger's Honeypot Childcare Centre (Sylvia Turner) and the Tiggers Honeypot Parent Committee before either construction of the access road or the relocation and upgrading the of current garden assets start (whatever occurs first) to enable Tiggers Honeypot to document and celebrate the garden.

This submission is being made by Keeping Randwick's Trees, a community group in support of this CBD and South East Light Rail project, however, advocating for improvements to be made in particular with regards to the approved tree removal, which is excessive at around 400 trees in Randwick's local government area, and which includes many trees of 'exceptional significance' (at both the local and metropolitan scales).

We largely support this design modification, which aims to reduce the impacts on our trees & green spaces in Randwick. However, there are details that do not entirely succeed in doing this.

- We support the proposal to move the Randwick interchange away from High Cross Park to High St.

However, we oppose the removal of at least 7 trees in High Cross Park to build a substation. We urge the project to move the substation closer to the new Light Rail alignment, where it will not impact trees or the park. It should be built over an existing hard space within the hospital complex, or underneath the Light Rail terminus or new pedestrian plaza to be constructed.

- We oppose the 12 new trees to be removed in the middle of the block bounded by Wansey, High, Botany and Arthur streets as a result of changes to the UNSW stop.

Please take the opportunity to work with the people living there to make slight design amendments, or to move the trees elsewhere within their property.

- We also oppose the extra 2 trees to be removed beside the Randwick Light Rail stop on High St.

It is not obvious why these 2 trees need to be removed. The project should make a commitment, as per their Development Agreement with Randwick City Council, to retain as many trees as possible.

We hope you will consider our support for this proposal with its objections to improve the outcomes for Randwick even further.

This will reduce the space and design criteria for the proposed access needs for SP 9261 and SP 22052 (Residential properties 42 & 44 High Street) (refer to point 2.2.1).

2.2.4 The proposed road moves as far as possible to the western section of the property leaving as much of Lo1 DP330632 connected to Lot 1 60283 - to maintain the usability of the space for the community of Tiggers Honeypot.

2.3 The proposed access road using Lot 1 DP 546495 meets the requirements for commercial access by expanding, if required, into Lot A DP406491 (10 Arthur Street, Randwick) and Lot 31 DP 599615 (12 Arthur Street) and links into Lot 100 DP 836801 (Kenvale College site) at the junction of the two properties (Lot 1 DP 546495 and Lot A DP406491) and accessing the Kenvale College site via the parking lot at the northern section of the property. This will remove the need to have the proposed access road from this point southwards Lot 1 DP330632 (western section of garden) meet the commercial requirements (see point 2.2) and to be downgraded to `driveway' standards.

2.4 Lot 1 DP15324 (26 Botany Street) be used for the access requirements for Lot 2 DP234000 (46 High Street) and remaining space on the land be used as UNSW parking facility.

2.5 Any impact to either Lot 1 DP 60283 and Lot 1 DP330632 (Tiggers Honeypot community garden) be replaced with like for like or better in the remaining garden space and within the licenced childcare area (rooms and attached outdoor spaces) and that Tiggers Honeypot are consulted during this process.

2.5.1 Do note: that focus of the centre has to be develop and maintain the community garden space over the need of the outdoor areas attached to the rooms. These attached outdoor areas will need to be upgraded as part of this process.

2.6 Tiggers Honeypot Parent committee be considered a major stakeholder and consulted at the concept and detail design and at the construction stage.

2.7 All impacts resulting from construction and operation of the access road, including contamination (lead, asbestos), noise, dust, vibration impacts to the building and loss of amenity be addressed specific to the specialised needs of a childcare facility.

2.8 I sincerely request a one month notice is provided to the Director of Tigger's Honeypot Childcare Centre (Sylvia Turner) and the Tiggers Honeypot Parent Committee before either construction of the access road or the relocation and upgrading the of current garden assets start (whatever occurs first) to enable Tiggers Honeypot to document and celebrate the garden. This will help my child/ren and those attending Tiggers Honeypot understand what is going to happen, as they are the ones who will be most impacted by the proposed access road, regardless how small the impact. A month, though small, will help me and Tiggers Honeypot do this.

I respectfully request that all my concerns and requests are addressed and resolved.

Kind regards,

I'm glad to see the Randwick interchange moved from High Cross Park (and I support the buses not setting down/picking up there also). It seems silly to have the substation located at the park however, as there appears that there will be plenty of concrete to bury it underneath the new footpath at the terminus itself.

I see that there are many new trees that could be removed behind the apartments along High St opposite the university and I hope that the residents there will have the opportunity to have the existing trees moved to what will be their unused access way that currently exists on High St.

Thanks!
