This project will place too much demand on the roads and existing infrastructure. They claim the development will only increase the traffic by 18 cars per hour.
However they didn't mention that they are also building a similar sized project across the road at 1,3 and 5 pockley ave and Larkin lane.
There are also 3 more Major developments taking place at 7,9 and 11 pockley ave as well as a soon to be completed development on Maclaurin pde Opposite the pockley ave development. There is also the apartments on Pacific hwy on the corner of Maclaurin pde.

Each planning submission only takes into account the traffic increase for their on development and does not consider the other developments taking place.

Therefore the increased traffic on the exit on Maclaurin pde to the Pacific hwy will be more like and extra 50 plus cars per hour

This intersection is already at capacity in peak times from 7 to 9am. There is only one way to turn right onto Pacific hwy at Maclaurin pde and currently it only lets 4 or 5 cars through per traffic light change which is every 2 minutes
At times no Cars can exit onto Pacific hwy as the traffic cues across the intersection blocking any cars
The line of cars waiting to exit onto Pacific hwy can be as long as 12 cars currently and sometimes more

With these new developments it is gauranteed that the wait times to exit onto Pacific hwy could be 30min or more.
The roads are also narrow with cars parked on the side of the road effectively creating a one lane road

The current infrastructure around Pockley ave, Maclaurin pde and Larkin lane cannot support this type of development now or in the future.
This could create very dangerous traffic conditions and pose a major safety risk for emergency services needing to exit or enter.

Please look at the total number of new developments in this area and add up the total congestion created by all of them and not just one development site

This side of the Pacific hwy in Roseville is full and will not support these types of massive projects

The development in pockley ave will also create a lot of loss of sunlight for the neighbouring properties

10 stories is too high. The maximum allowable was set at 6 stories. How are they possibly allowed to build this high

I would be happy to endorse development on a much smaller scale like 4 or 5 stories

Adding over 450 apartments to this small area with only 1 exit turning right onto Pacific hwy will and an increase of 50 plus cars per hour as well as narrow roads will only be a complete disaster

The revised submission is even higher than the original by 2.64 meters. The buildings do not meet the State TOD plan FSR of 2.5. Or the KuRingGai proposed FSR of 1.8 staggered to 1.3. There is only a very little allowance for deep soil almost negligible. There is very little surrounding vegetation to soften 10 storey buildings with an overall FSR greater than 3. Buildings of this size will considerably block sunlight from nearby surroundings. Due to topography this is an area where lack of sunlight already is a challenge

Developers and NSW Govt are facing legal action, reputational risk, and human safety risks if further development is completed in South West Roseville - Pockley Ave/ Larkin Rd, without addressing known and escalating bushfire evacuation vulnerabilities.

I objected this development when it was first put up for exhibition and now you have:
- Increased height from original submission
- Increased floor space ratio
- Increased dwelling numbers
- REDUCED car spaces (causing even further concern for bushfire evacuation as more cars are now on the streets causing congestion)
- Still not addressed the lack of deep soil
- It is not set back from the street as per Kuringgai Councils development plans
- its BLOODY ugly!!

This 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 which is landlocked. It has limited evacuation routes, increasing residential density and constrained emergency services access. If further development is allowed NSW Government and developers will be open to legal action – do you want another LA bushfire to happen in Roseville?? The area already exceeds safe evacuation thresholds.

This area was exposed to extreme bushfire risk in 1994, when houses were lost in this area. Adding an additional 427 dwellings through SSD and Council DAs and more than double vehicle volume in the area, will significantly hinder safe and timely evacuations during bushfire emergencies.

Approving further developments in South West Roseville without addressing bushfire evacuation risk is negligent and has life-threatening consequences. Increases in traffic (and housing developments) must be matched by increases in exit capacity.

Developers are ignoring bushfire and cumulative traffic risk assessments as required under Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2021.

We are aware and ok with some development, it just needs to be thought through, our concerns addressed and maybe not such an ugly high development! How about it starts with lower levels at the top of the hill and then keeping the roof height consistent and follow the gradient of the land, have more units on the down side.

Other points as to why I am against this development:
- Excess height in our area causing traffic issues and evacuation issues as noted above
- Excess height causing overshadowing
- Ugly street scape
- Environmental concerns – topography of land is not fit for further development. Water runoff will increase due to reduced natural land for water to be absorbed. This will impact further down the hill in the creek between Alexander Pde and Shirley Road and will see potential land erosion to residents who’s properties back onto this creek. Legal action will take place if residents properties are eroded due to excessive runoff caused by upstream / up hill developments.
- There is a threatened species in the area – the endangered micro bat in the development vicinity.
- 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, the area already exceeds safe evacuation thresholds as per Cova 2005 study that concludes a precinct which has 3 roads exiting should accommodate only 301-600 households to ensure safe evacuation. We currently have 766 homes planned and existing homes – well above the threshold.

I'm writing to express my ongoing concerns regarding this proposal and to seek clarification on how community submissions have been considered. In particular, I remain concerned about the potential bushfire risk and its impact on the safety and wellbeing of residents in the Roseville West Ward community, as well as the existing and worsening traffic conditions in the area.

I respectfully request that the planning office provide further information on how these matters have been assessed and addressed as part of the decision-making process. I appreciate the opportunity to provide feedback and ask that my objection be taken into careful consideration before any final determination is made.

I am deeply concerned that my previous submission has not been adequately considered. The risks associated with bushfires are real and continuing to affect the lives of residents in the Roseville West Ward community. Ongoing traffic issues are also significant and worsening over time. Approving this project without properly addressing these serious community concerns would be irresponsible and reckless.

I formally oppose this project and request that the planning office provide a clear explanation of how approval could be granted without fully considering and addressing the above concerns.

I'm concerned
that my previous submission appears to have been disregarded. The bushfire risk is serious, ongoing, and directly threatens the safety and wellbeing of residents in the Roseville West Ward community. The traffic situation is already unacceptable and continues to deteriorate, placing further strain on local infrastructure and creating clear safety risks.

Any approval of this project without fully and transparently addressing these critical issues would be grossly irresponsible and a failure of due process. I strongly oppose this project and formally demand that the planning office justify how approval could be granted without properly considering and resolving these legitimate community concerns.
