To Whom It May Concern,
Re: Support for the Proposed Development at 26–30 Campsie Street and 1 Assets Street, Campsie
I am writing to express my support for the proposed shop-top housing development currently on exhibition at 26–30 Campsie Street and 1 Assets Street, Campsie.
The proposal represents a positive investment in the future of Campsie by delivering new housing opportunities in a well-located urban centre with excellent access to public transport, services, employment, and community facilities. The development's provision of approximately 116 dwellings, including affordable housing, will contribute to addressing Sydney's ongoing housing needs while supporting broader government objectives for housing supply in strategic locations. 
I particularly support the integration of a ground-floor child care centre, which will provide an important community service for local families and help meet the needs of a growing residential population. The mixed-use nature of the development will contribute to a more vibrant and active streetscape while ensuring that essential services are available close to where people live. 
The proposal also aligns with the long-term vision for growth and renewal within the Campsie Town Centre, where increased housing density is being encouraged close to public transport and established infrastructure. By accommodating additional residents in a highly accessible location, the development can help make more efficient use of existing infrastructure and support the continued vitality of local businesses and services. 
In addition to increasing housing supply, the project is expected to generate employment during both the construction and operational phases, providing economic benefits to the local area. 
For these reasons, I respectfully urge the consent authority to give favourable consideration to this application and support its progression through the assessment process.

To whom it may concern,

I am in full support for this project. It is great to see development proposals such as these still exist. The ones that actually look to benefit not only the future occupants but the already existing community.

Everyone seems to just want to plot these massive developments anywhere with no real thought or consideration to how it impacts anyone surrounding them. However, this project seems to have hit the nail on the head by actually achieving the desired outcomes of the government in combating this housing crisis - building more housing without impacting the surrounding existing community and amenities. For example, rather than dumping a 20 or 30 story building, the height has been capped with a solar protection plane to anzac park (3.7 - Appendix 7a), but also pushes past the limits of the existing controls because the fact of the matter is we need housing. This is a win win. Developer benefit - more units, community benefit - no loss of solar amenity to the park in this instance, government benefit - more housing, all roped into one.

The inclusion of affordable housing, childcare center and neighborhood shop adds further to the larger community benefit. I have been around Campsie all my life, I have watched it grow in size and population. Inclusions like this is just what we need. Imagine now we can drop off our young ones to the childcare center, grab a quick coffee at the shop (hopefully we can get a good cafe) and walk down to the train station to head into work, and pickup on the way back. Convenient and well thought living at its finest.

I really hope to see a project like this go through. There is no reason for it not to. This is what is needed and this should be the expectation and standard for the government to set when asking for more housing from developers.

Kind regards,

Hi,

I am writing to lodge a formal objection to the State Significant Development application (SSD-99727456). As a resident and stakeholder in the immediate three-story residential building located directly adjacent to the western boundary of the subject site on Campsie Street, my home falls entirely within the primary zone of structural, environmental, and amenity impact.

Please note that I request my specific name and unit address be kept confidential from public websites, but I submit this as an immediately affected neighbouring party.

While I understand the regional push for density, a 16-story tower containing approximately 130 dwellings, a child care centre, and a massive 155-space car park is a severe over-development for this specific local road infrastructure. The proposal completely disrupts the scale of the street and threatens the structural safety of my building.

I urge the Department to refuse this application based on the following grounds:

1. Devastating Morning Overshadowing and Solar Loss
Because the proposed 16-story structure is positioned immediately to the east of our 3-story residential block, it will cast a catastrophic shadow over our building every single morning. In Sydney's climate, morning solar access is essential for natural thermal heating and resident well-being. A 50-meter-tall building will completely block out the sun from sunrise until midday (12:00 PM), plunging our properties into freezing, permanent shadow during the critical winter months and violating standard solar access rules.

2. Existing On-Street Parking Deficit on Campsie Street
Campsie Street is already a heavily congested thoroughfare where finding an available on-street parking space is exceptionally difficult for current residents, visitors, and deliveries. The introduction of this high-density project will introduce dozens of additional vehicles competing for a road network that has already reached maximum capacity. The local infrastructure simply cannot absorb any parking overflow.

3. Extreme Scale Disparity and Failure of Built-Form Transition
The proposal introduces a 16-story tower next to an existing 3-story residential block. This unprecedented 13-story height differential violates urban planning principles regarding scale transition as outlined in the Canterbury-Bankstown Local Environmental Plan (LEP). The sheer vertical massing creates an oppressive sense of enclosure, blocking ambient sky light and visually dominating our human-scale neighborhood.

4. High-Density Parking Entry (155 Spaces) on Wilfred Avenue (One-Way Lane)
The developer’s traffic strategy proposes to funnel all vehicular movements for 155 parking spaces into Wilfred Avenue. This is highly unsafe. Wilfred Avenue is an exceptionally tight, narrow, one-way lane. Funnelling the daily morning and evening peak traffic of 155 vehicles onto a single-lane, unidirectional road will cause instantaneous gridlock, trapping local residents and blocking the street if any vehicle slows down or halts.

5. Cumulative Traffic Gridlock via Assets Street and Campsie Street
Because Wilfred Avenue is a restricted one-way lane, exiting vehicles must filter directly onto Assets Street to reach Campsie Street, which is already operating at near capacity. Forcing 155 car spaces and childcare drop-off traffic through these minor streets will cripple local intersections and severely compromise pedestrian safety.

6. Severe Public Safety and Emergency Access Risks
Due to the single-lane geometry of Wilfred Avenue and the narrow width of Assets Street, any delivery truck or stationary vehicle will create a total road blockage. This introduces an unacceptable public safety hazard, as Fire & Rescue NSW trucks and ambulances will be physically obstructed from accessing our adjacent properties during emergencies.

7. Geotechnical Threat and Structural Risk from 15.5m Excavation
To accommodate the 155 car spaces, the proposal requires a sub-surface excavation depth of approximately 15.5 meters (5 stories deep) directly next to our shared boundary. The removal of this earth volume risks lateral ground displacement and structural settlement to our existing foundations. Furthermore, an excavation of this magnitude will breach the local water table; any conventional dewatering will cause rapid soil consolidation and catastrophic ground subsidence beneath our existing building.

Requested Conditions and Outcomes:
Before any determination is finalised, we demand the following strict assessments and safeguards:

- A significant reduction in overall height to establish a functional built-form transition that protects our morning solar access and ambient daylight.

- Relocation of the vehicle parking entrance away from the narrow, one-way lane of Wilfred Avenue.

- A certified Swept-Path and Independent Traffic Simulation Analysis of Wilfred Avenue and Assets Street to prove emergency vehicle access capability.

- A mandated independent peer-reviewed Geotechnical and Hydrogeological Assessment proving zero lateral ground movement.

- A legally binding condition forcing the developer to provide a comprehensive Pre-Construction Dilapidation Report and continuous real-time vibration monitoring across our building at the developer's full expense.

Thank you for your rigorous assessment of this objection to protect the safety and liveability of Campsie residents.

Sincerely,
A Directly Impacted Campsie Street Resident (Adjacent Western Boundary)

We are the owners of two properties located on Beamish Street, Campsie and formally object to SSD application SSD-99727456, which
proposes a 16-storey, 61-metre mixed-use tower (116 apartments, childcare centre for 107 children, neighbourhood shop, 4 basement
levels) at 26-30 Campsie Street and 1 Assets Street, Campsie, with a Concurrent Rezoning to increase permissible building height from 14
m to 61 m and FSR from 1.5:1 to 6.75:1 under CBLEP 2023.
Strategic Planning Concerns
The Greater Sydney Regional Plan 2018 and South District Plan 2018 identify Campsie as a Strategic Centre requiring protection of its
commercial function. The Campsie Town Centre Master Plan (CTCMP) 2022 — cited in the EI&RS at §4.2.3 — expressly requires
development to "retain the character of Beamish Street, by maintaining the active frontages and multiple shops along the street." No
assessment of compliance with this obligation is provided in the EI&RS.
Environmental Impacts (not adequately addressed in the EI&RS)
• Shadow: Shadow analysis is limited to ADG residential standards and ANZAC Park. No assessment covers the impact on Beamish
Street commercial footpaths and pedestrian amenity along the Campsie Street corridor.
• Wind: The Windtech Pedestrian Wind Study (Appendix 23) covers the immediate development site only. A 61-metre corner tower
will channel wind toward Beamish Street — has this been modelled and if so was the community provided a copy of the modelling?
• Construction (est. 12–18 months from early 2027): Noise, vibration, dust and heavy vehicle traffic mitigation has been deferred to
Construction Certificate stage (EI&RS §7.11.3). No committed measures exist to protect Beamish Street commercial operators.
• Groundwater: Four basement levels of excavation risk differential settlement in older Beamish Street buildings. No impact
assessment has been provided.
Commercial Impacts
• An embedded neighbourhood shop (6am–7pm, 7 days) will directly compete with Beamish Street retailers by capturing the spending
of 300+ new residents. We believe that no Retail Impact Assessment has been prepared, or supplied to the community, which is required in EP&A Regulation 2021.
• The rezoning uplift (FSR ×4.5; height ×4.35) is not identified in the CTCMP. The EI&RS concedes the height is "not anticipated by
the CTCMP" (§7.3.2) yet provides no commercial precinct impact analysis.
• As the owners of properties located on Beamish Street we will bear construction disruption, reduced amenity and diminished property values without compensation, while the developer captures substantial planning gain from an EDC of $68.25 million.
We respectfully request the Department require, prior to determination:
• A Retail Impact Assessment for the Beamish Street commercial precinct.
• Extension of the wind study and shadow diagrams to assess impacts on Beamish Street.
• A Construction Traffic Management Plan for the Campsie Street / Beamish Street corridor.
• A pre-construction structural and groundwater impact assessment for Beamish Street buildings.
• Rezoning justification addressing the CTCMP Beamish Street objective, and consideration of a Voluntary Planning Agreement
contribution toward Beamish Street public domain improvements.
We reserve the right to supplement these submissions and welcome the opportunity to discuss these matters further.
