The development so far has caused major disruption to our neighbourhood with works being done overnight with loud noises, immense dust from the site and road disruptions especially in the mornings. As a shift worker, this has made it extremely difficult since the development commenced.
There is already not enough parking in our area and the development isn't building enough spots to accommodate for the amount of properties they are building for residents alone and are not planning to make room for any visitor parking.
A 10 storey building is NOT appropriate for this area of the neighbourhood, especially for the street it is on. It is an absolute insult to our neighbourhood to allow a project like this to move forward.
Please take care of your current residents in the area, especially the long-standing residents who have been here for 30 years and longer.

The primary reason the Inner West is becoming more expensive, pricing out the low-income segment whose contributions made it great, is because we don’t build enough housing.
Building new housing walking distance the Sydenham Metro allows us to colocate housing and public transport investment, which fits the State’s strategy.
Mixed-use (residential & commercial) is fantastic and there’s a reason all the most expensive parts of Sydney have it extensively.

Parking Issues: As of now, residents do not have enough street parking. Many houses in the vicinity of the project do not have off-street parking available and based on the Traffic Impact Assessment (25035 - 23 July 2025) , only 193 resident parking spots will be available for the new 471 residents of Precinct 75. The requirement of parking allowances for residents of new developments should also be a function of the existing parking capacity in the area and not just based on accessibility as many of the new residents will undoubtingly be parking on the local streets. The existing street parking capacity is not taken into consideration in the assessment and if included would likely indicate that more resident parking spots will be required for the project to not worsen the already strained resident street parking situation. The developer should at the very least maintain the dwelling no. to resident parking ratio of >0.5 in the Approved Development and consider the current street parking capacity of the area. At the minimum, 236 resident parking spots should be proposed with the increase in dwellings. The proposal also doesn't include enough carshare spots. The requirement for the new development is 11 and the proposal is only for 6. The 5 existing in the area is to service the existing neighborhood and should not be counted for exclusive use by the Precinct. There are new developments in the local neighborhood that will add to the usage of these existing carshare vehicles as well. No assessment on capacity of existing carshares has been done in the provided assessment either. The development should provide the required carshare spots.
Traffic Flow Issue: The traffic assessment do not consider all the intersections with Mary St. The intersection of Bakers Lane and Mary Street has been left out of the assessment. There are significant traffic inflows to Mary St from Bakers Lane that would further add to local traffic congestion.
I am supportive of new developments and projects that enhance our community however, I believe the issues mentioned above have not been adequately assessed and considered by the developer.

- 84% of the apartments are tiny 30 meter square studio apartments, below NSW minimum standard, which will lead to high resident turnover and fail to meet council's objectives for Build-to-Rent developments
- Existing road and infrastructure is already inadequate. Streets surrounding Precinct 75 are too narrow for 2-way traffic. An additional 850 residents will result in severe congestion, compromising emergency vehicle access and pedestrian safety
- The new proposal has a shortfall of 276 commercial and 227 residential parking spaces compared with Council DCP with NO visitor parking proposed. This will force hundreds of cars onto local streets and creates a parking crisis
Overbearing building heights - an increase in the number of levels to 10 storeys, exceeding the original rezoning intent Council LEPs and previous council resolutions to limit heights for amenity and character preservation. These excessive heights are incompatible with our predominantly single-storey, low density streetscape

This will be invasive to my privacy, bordering the precinct and parking will be insufficient. Both will devalue my home.

While I support new housing, the current proposal's significant increase in dwelling density (from 205 to 471) and studio apartments is problematic. This fails to address the housing crisis by offering mostly tiny units and will likely lead to high resident turnover, harming community cohesion.
The development also poses a major road and infrastructure burden. The planned number of new residents will overwhelm local streets, particularly the narrow residential roads of Edith St. This will create a pedestrian safety and traffic nightmare, especially with a major parking shortfall. The proposal's lack of adequate visitor parking will push more cars onto our streets, exacerbating an already stressed situation.
Finally, the overbearing building heights of up to 10 storeys will negatively impact our local character and amenity. It is not in keeping with the predominantly single-storey, low-density streetscape of our area.
I urge you to reject this proposal in its current form and require a plan that respects local infrastructure and our community.

Tiny studio apartments which are below the NSW minimum standard.
Insufficient road infrastructure

It does little to ease the housing crisis as the increase is predominantly 30m2 studio apartments which is below the NSW minimum standard and with a insufficiently low amount of affordable housing, these are not long term housing solutions.
An increase to 10 storey building height, exceeding the original rezoning. The excessive height is incompatible with the predominantly single storey, low density streetscape.
Existing road infrastructure is already inadequate. The proposed additional residents will result in severe congestion and parking issues.
It fails to meet the minimum parking requirements set by the Marrickville DCP. There are significant shortfalls in both residential and commercial parking, with no visitor spaces provided. This will force residents and visitors to park on surrounding streets, worsening the current situation during clearway hours on Unwins Bridge Rd and creating a parking debacle.

This project should not be approved if Precint 75 is unable to supply adequate parking.
Further, planning needs to reassess the local traffic and parking conditions in the area.
I would suggest:
40kms per hour on unwins bridge road, removal of clear ways on unwins bridge road, 15 minute parking spaces unless the vehicle has a resident permit, no supply of residents permit to residents of precinct 75.
I believe this would reduce the traffic burden in our area and funnel traffic onto the larger highway and tunnels, prevent the existing residents of the area from being unable to find parking and stop visitors to the retails businsss at precinct 75 coming by car and taking away the limited number of parks which are available to the residents of the area, many of whom do not have car parks on their property.
Thank you

I believe it will improve housing availability in the area.
