Submission Objecting to SSD-90572458 – Eastlakes Mixed Use Development (19A Evans Avenue, Eastlakes)
I object to the proposed development at 19A Evans Avenue, Eastlakes.
While I support additional housing in appropriate locations, this proposal represents a significant increase in scale beyond the previously approved development. The application seeks buildings of up to 18 storeys and 62.9 metres in height, compared to the existing approval of 7–12 storeys and 40.8 metres. It also increases the floor space ratio from 2.11:1 to 5.29:1 and the number of dwellings from 425 to between 736 and 877 dwellings.
My concerns include:
1. Excessive Height and Bulk – The proposal is substantially larger than the approved development and is out of character with the surrounding Eastlakes area.
2. Traffic and Congestion – The developer’s own assessment predicts an increase of approximately 246 vehicle trips in the morning peak and 332 vehicle trips in the afternoon peak. Local roads, particularly Evans Avenue, Gardeners Road and surrounding intersections, already experience congestion.
3. Overshadowing and Loss of Amenity – The proposal acknowledges increased shadow impacts on neighbouring properties and Jack Mundey Reserve. Residents and park users should not bear the cost of excessive overdevelopment.
4. Insufficient Open Space and Landscaping – Despite the scale of the project, deep soil planting is limited to only 595m² (3.3% of the site area), which is inadequate for a development of this size.
5. Pressure on Local Infrastructure – Hundreds of additional apartments will place further strain on local roads, public transport, schools, health services and community facilities without corresponding infrastructure upgrades.
I respectfully request that the Department refuse the application in its current form or require significant reductions in height, density and traffic impacts before any approval is considered.

I am a both a local resident and employee at the nearby school. I am not opposed to the redevelopment but believe the proposed numbers of units and building heights will have a significantly negative impact on the natural resources, traffic flow and air traffic problems due to these building heights not being approved by CASA. The biggest issue will be parking and traffic flow. Public transport is already pushed during the morning peak exit. Evans Ave as far as St Helena Pde is grid locked during peak hour. The streets around this complex will need to be one way at a minimum. There are also not enough of these apartments being built to rent to allow a development of this size.

In regards to the Re-development of Eastlakes shopping centre I do support a new shopping centre and also support residential provisions. My concern is the effect on local traffic.
Currently there are only two small exits from Evans avenue to the nearest main rd (Gardeners rd).
Adding 1000 new dwellings plus increased traffic associated with the use of the shopping centre would choke those two exits- especially the small roundabout directly in front of the site.
Eastlakes is not sufficiently connected to Public transport. There are a small number of Bus routes that operate through eastlakes. The nearest train is Mascot and there is not light rail or metro.
Traffic in and out of Eastlakes will become a mess and will affect areas of Rosebery and Gardeners rd. Assumptions and models that indicate otherwise seem naive and hopeful at best.
The proposed carpark capacity ( 1204 car spaces) should speak to this point instrumentally.
To summarise- I do not support such a large redevelopment in such a concentrated space with massive increases in traffic over-stressing the existing roads being my concern.
I do support the original 2013 proposal of 428 residential apartments.
Best regards
Eastlakes resident

I am happy that the old out dated shopping centre will be replaced with new facilities. I am however extremely concerned by the number of floors and apartments being proposed. For such a small area, this proposal is COMPLETELY out of character. It will completely over shadow everything and be an eye sore. My biggest concern is the lack of infrastructure to cater for the massive increase in cars etc. The roads around that area are tiny and already get congested. There is no way, that the roads can cope with such a huge influx. I have never got involved in these kind of things, but I feel strongly enough to say common sense needs to prevail here.
Most people I’m sure welcome the newer facilities, but there needs to be common sense when it comes to the ridiculous amount of floors and apartments proposed. I urge you to reconsider the elements of this proposal and the huge negative impact this will have on such a small suburb.
Thanks for your consideration.

I am writing to express my strong support for the proposed mixed-use redevelopment of Eastlakes Shopping Centre (SSD-90572458). This proposal represents a vital piece of urban renewal that aligns with strategic planning goals for South-East Sydney on the following merits:
1. Integration with the Mascot, Airport & Southern Employment Corridor
Eastlakes sits immediately adjacent to major economic engines, including Sydney Airport, Port Botany, and the Mascot urban renewal precinct. Delivering high-density residential accommodation (including Market, Build-to-Rent, and Affordable units) on an underutilised retail site provides crucial housing near major job hubs, reducing commuting times and supporting key workers in the southern corridor.
2. Modernising Outdated Retail Infrastructure into a Vibrant Town Centre:
The existing 1960s-era shopping centre is aging and underutilises its strategic landholding. The proposal replaces a low-density, car-centric site with a multi-level commercial and retail podium, revitalising Evans Avenue as an active, walkable main street while maintaining essential local amenities (supermarket and retail).
3. Strategic Infill Housing Delivery:
The provision of 736 housing units, which incorporates a 10% affordable housing allocation alongside Build-to-Rent models directly addresses Sydney's housing affordability crisis. Utilizing well-serviced infill land prevents further suburban sprawl and maximizes efficiency without expanding into greenfield areas.
4. Public Domain Upgrades & Active Urban Transport:
The scheme integrates upgraded pedestrian links, public spaces facing Eastlakes Reserve, car-share infrastructure, and active transit integration. This transforms a isolated retail site into an integrated community hub connected to surrounding transport networks.
For these reasons, the proposal represents an brilliant and highly strategic use of land that is firmly in the public interest. I urge the Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure to support and approve this application.

There are several major concerns with the redevelopment of the EASTLAKES SHOPPING CENTRE PRECINCT.
I own an apartment on the corner of Gardeners Road and Racecourse Place, Number 279. Gardeners Road is already choked with excessive traffic due to the M8 Motorway which links the West with the East via Gardeners Road. Pollution levels are record highs for this area which is a major health concern in itself.
This location was bad enough at the time I purchased the Apartment in 2018 not realising that a MOTORWAY will conjoin with Gardeners Road in the future.
At present the traffic levels are incredibly high and the pollution levels have skyrocketed to unhealthy levels which prevents me from opening any doors for fresh air because there is none. I am a full time carer for my elderly father who can’t even go out onto the balcony terrace at any time of the day because of the choking pollution. This is also evident when I wash my balcony terrace 3 times per week to remove black soot buildup.
The driveway to enter and exit the carpark for my building is located on Racecourse Place which already becomes very busy and exiting or entering the carpark is problematic.
Now, should this development go ahead in it’s proposed state, then once this is completed, Racecourse Place will be so congested, it will be impossible to exit the driveway of my building, especially when I have to take my elderly father to appointments. All this added excessive traffic combined with the current incredible amount of traffic filtering through Gardeners Road would make this home unliveable. The pollution levels are already unbearable and adding to this with the huge development proposed is unacceptable. A shopping precinct without residential towers would have been acceptable and extension of the current parkland with more trees would be acceptable.
