Tallawong Station Precinct South - Stage 2 detailed design application

The EPA has provided advice on these matters in previous correspondence. The EPA has no comments in relation to this matter and no further need to be involved in the assessment of this project.

The proposal will significantly increase road use regardless of the metro and the area is already struggling under excess road users trying to get around Rouse Hill, Windsor Rd areas towards Castle Hill. Add the fact of many other significant developments like Hills of Carmel, Schofield's and Riverstone through to Box Hill, is only going to add more traffic that will drive road use and associated slow down in traffic movements.

I strongly object to the project as I am being the resident of The Ponds and this project will have greater negative impact on the current landscape of the suburb.
Having around 1000 units just opposite to a residential suburb is not a good development. Please reject this development and build parking in the same place. Landcomm built a beautiful masterplanned suburb "The Ponds"and now they themselves building a high density development opposite to the "The PONDS" and spoilng the resedntail landscape of The Ponds.

Hi, I built my family home on Amarco Circuit 7 years ago with the knowledge that Schofields Road would be widened. Since then, the station was approved and now 1000+ units will be built across the road from me. I am not opposed to the project and absolutely support the development however I am concerned that we are going to potentially have 2000+ more cars on the road accessing those units and the current road noise could potentially bounce off the apartments and penetrate towards our house.
My proposal is to have a sound barrier wall constructed between Amarco Circuit and Schofields Road as shown in the attachment. This will reduce the amount of noise generated from the approval of these apartments and stop any noise bouncing off the 8 storey untis and penetrating back towards our house.
I ask that you please seriously consider this as many people benefit from these developments such as the government, developers and the local community but can I ask that you also consider those of us who will be living opposite the development and will be faced with the long term effects such as increased road noise.
I would be happy to work with you to discuss any options or ideas that could be proposed. I just feel that the residents of Amarco Circuit deserve a little in return for the major approval of these apartments.
Thank you for reading my submission and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

I would like to add to my previous submission having further considered the proposed development. I believe to better protect the privacy and amenity of the residents living on the opposite side of Schofields Road, in particular those in Amarco Circuit, that the 2 storey buildings be located close to Schofields Road and the 6 to 8 storey buildings be set back further on the site. I'm also concerned about the proposed height of the 8 storey building and believe a 6 storey maximum would be more appropriate. By setting back the higher storey buildings, this will reduce the impact of potential shading, loss of privacy and increased noise from the residential apartments.
I am also concerned with what appears to be an over development of the site will potentially impact carparking in Amarco Circuit. I believe the development must have sufficient car parking spaces for the residents and their visitors being so closely located to Tallawong Station, our street could potentially become an overflow car park for this new development.
Having said that, my greatest concern, as highlighted in my initial submission, is the increased noise which I believe can be mitigated by a sound wall/barrier (designed appropriately to fit in with the surrounds) located on the green space between Amarco Circuit and Schofields Road.

The current Car park at Tallawong Metro Station is too small. the surrounding area residents already facing big problem as commuters park their cars in surrounding streets and blocking people's driveways. while young kids walking to the school there are big number of cars in streets looking place for parking. local council is well aware of it as they are issuing parking fines on regular basis. More dwellings will be a big disaster in the area.
we are in desperate need of car park extension for metro commuters. There supposed to be a multistory car park at first place. Rouse hill shopping center is not far from the area. before we support any further development at Tallawong station precinct, the current car park should turn into multistory car parking. If the area is developed for residential buildings there will be no room for future parking for metro users as populations is increasing.

Keep in mind only 10-20 % travelers are using metro at the moment due to covid 19. The situation I explained is applicable without the pandemic.

FRNSW have reviewed the documentation that was provided in support of the development and will not be providing comment at this time as there is currently insufficient information available regarding the fire safety and emergency response management aspects of the project.

As additional details become available Fire & Rescue NSW requests to be consulted with respect to the proposed fire and life safety systems and their configuration at the project’s preliminary and final design phases.

For further information please contact the Fire Safety Infrastructure Liaison Unit, referencing FRNSW file number BFS20/1860. Please ensure that all correspondence in relation to this matter is submitted electronically to [email protected].
