- I used to live in this area with my wife and have since moved out but am well aware of the traffic congestions and bushfire risks, as we lived here during the 1994 bushfire. Water pressure was low and we had to use buckets to fend off embers, we packed the whole house up and had to be evacuated. Since 1994 there are around 240 more cars in this residential area, you are proposing to add a further 435 cars in two developments on Pockley Ave. Narrow streets, extras existing cars will cause utter chaos and will cause death if developers, Council and NSW Government are not careful *and hence litigation. proper evacuation and upgrade of exits need to be done before any further development.
-Developers are ignoring bushfire and cumulative traffic risk assessments as required under Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2021.
- South West Roseville area – Larkin St, Larkin Lane, Pockley Av, Maclaurin Pde, Alexander Pde, Corona Ave, Kings Ave and Findlay Ave – Is a bushfire prone precinct. It is has limited evacuation routes, increasing residential density and constrained emergency services access and is also landlocked. If further development is allowed NSW Government and developers will be open to legal action. We could not evacuate properly in 1994 as firetrucks and parked cars on the roads meant no assess for residents to exit. Add another 686 car spaces proposed, my daughter and her family who still live here, will die as they wont be able to get out!
- Excess height for the area, no apartments around are this high.
- Ugly street scape
- Environmental concerns – topography of land is not fit for further development. my daughter has a creek which runs along the back of her Alexander pde property. Water flow into this creek will increase and her yard will slowly be eroded into the creek.
- did you know there is a threatened species in the area? – the endangered micro bat in the development vicinity. There are also Powerful Owls and other unique and threatened species.
- also, your "affordable housing" is a joke - only for 15 years....why not for life of unit? wrong, you get 3 extra stories by saying you have accounted for affordable housing, yet you only hold this to be true for 15 years!
