Royal Randwick Racecourse Hotel

Good proposal. WIll revitalise the racecourse and somewhat alleviate the shortage of hotel rooms in Sydney.

I had a look at the proposal and while I don't mind the concept for a hotel in that location, I find the look of the building too imposing, especially in the proposed location. I will be passing it frequently driving along Alison Road.

While I don't mind the shape of the main hotel building, with the laminated wall, I don't like the elevation above the ground - this is unnecessary. It adds unnecessary height and imposition. It also looks top heavy, especially overlooking the main road.

Discusting.
A glass box on stilts, that overshadowes the heritage stand.
It is too high & out of place.

I object to the following development on several grounds:

Noise - I live less than 100 metres from the proposed hotel - I believe the rooftop terrace should either be removed or face INTO the Racecourse as this will help ameliorate noise from the terrace.

Parking - the hotel has 170 rooms and far less parking spaces. There is already no parking in the area due to TAFE, residents and on Race days, Racecourse parking.

Anti-social behaviour - the AJC has proven it is unable to manage anti-social behaviour on Race Days. This will only increase the number of days when this occurs.

Open Space - the land is currently designated open space under Randwick Council's LEP. This contravenes that.

This is just a way for the Racecourse to have a vast "pub" approved on its grounds - this will not benefit the community. When does adding a large hotel full of drunks improve the life of local residents??
