The integrity and beauty of Balmoral slopes would be completely compromised, and a building of this size shows zero respect for the beauty of this city. The views of Muston St are totally lost.

The area could not support the increase traffic flow especially in what is considered a suburban st,

This is not the place or the street to tackle your housing crisis the only result would be to make developers richer!

Please refer to attached objection.

The State Government policy on housing is deeply flawed- basically trickle down economics -
Build luxury apartments to encourage home economics to sell up and move into these luxury apartments
which range from about 6 million for the cheapest. We should be prioritising development for normally priced apartments, not apartment that will just sit empty as investments and secondary homes for the wealthy that like to collect properties in major cites around the world as spare apartments.

Instead they should allow retirees in large homes to divide the existing dwellings.

What is happening all around the lower north shore is beautiful old heritage homes and structurally sound 1960s and 1970 apartment blocks demolished for "luxury apartments".
How many will be purchased by overseas investors????

The Labor Government has allowed property developers to dictate planning policy and the future of Sydney planning.

This is not sensible planning. nor looking after the housing needs of young families and unemployed.


The Insurance Council of Australia states "costs of repairing and rebuilding homes has risen significantly due to higher construction costs and supply chain pressures"
So ---home building costs are soaring
petrol prices are soaring
and there is a shortage of plumbing supplies.
Why do we allow the building of luxury apartments and homes for the very rich when there are more urgent housing issues. So much homelessness in a rich country.

I doubt that as costs rise, that developers will provide the "affordable housing" promised.

This is not how a Labor Government should be behaving, so disappointing.

More black, white and grey eyesores which will become moldy in a few years.
Planners should be looking around Sydney and beautifying the many ugly areas not destroying the beautiful.

In addition to my main submission document, in determining the distance from the proposed development site to the Spit Junction/Mosman Town Centre, a strange point arises from the walking path marked by the green line on the photo on page 16 of the Appendix X Transport Impact Assessment Report prepared by the developer's consultant. The marked route inexplicably stops short of the Town Centre boundary on Medaleuca Lane by what appears to be 5m or so. If that represents how far the surveyor measured, then the measurement is clearly wrong and understates the correct distance between the proposed development site and the Town Centre..
Furthermore, page 6 of the report stipulates Redan Lane has the capacity to carry 900 vehicles per hour in each direction. This is ludicrous and makes me wonder if the consultant has actually visited Redan Lane. The lane is narrow. As noted in para 5 of my main objection letter, the pictures in the developer's appendices exaggerate the width of Redan Lane. With the proposed walkway shown in those diagrams, it would not even be feasible for cars to pass each other in the lane. Redan Lane by its nature is unsuitable for high volumes of traffic. A simple visit to the land and inspection would confirm this.
