Please see the attached document for why I object to the project.

There are 4 main reasons I object to this development
Firstly its size. It is nearly 3 times the height of other buildings in the area. It will dominate the area, not in a good way. I would support something that was 6 to 7 floors high.
Secondly, the increased traffic in the area. It will cause increased traffic issues at the Burns Bay/ Waterview Drive roundabout and the nearby traffic lights.
Next it will significantly increase the traffic on Waterview Drive into the Bay Pavilions units. This is a narrow road, with a child care centre at the entrance.
As the council does not patrol this area, cars are regularly illegally parked which narrows the entrance to Bay Pavilions. I have seen many near misses because of this.
Finally, the cost of road repair and maintenance falls on the residents of Bay Pavilions. The increased traffic from this development will increase the cost for residents. Perhaps the council should consider taking over the responsibility for road repair and maintenance for Waterview Drive.

This will cause overwhelming stress on the limited communal space as there are so many units and apartments nearby. The traffic would be terrible in peak hours. Burns road already is congested every day, with the proposed households, it would cause an overbearing load of traffic. This will greatly impact the quality of life on the current residents who reside nearby the proposed development.

To whom it may concern,
I object strongly to the project as it will further degrade an already overloaded / tightly constrained major transport bottleneck.
The immediate road infrastructure is significantly overloaded for several hours during morning and evening peak hours.
There are no alternative routes that can be taken in this natural bottleneck section. Indeed the police find it a particularly useful area to erect breathalyzers as traffic cannot bypass Burnsbay road without adding an extra 10 km to the journey.
If a ferry were able to service the area directly below the development it may help alleviate the problem. As this is a shallow tidal inlet I suspect this is a ridiculous idea.
In summary, I understand the need to increase housing density but the areas chosen need to have the ability to cope with the increased traffic. This area absolutely can not handle increased peak-hour loads.
Thank you.

I strongly object to this project for the following reasons:

Firstly, the Lane Cove area is already experiencing significant traffic congestion. During peak hours, road capacity is heavily strained, and the existing infrastructure is operating at or near its limits. Introducing additional development will only further exacerbate this issue.

Secondly, environmental noise in the area is already having a substantial negative impact on residents’ quality of life. Both construction and traffic noise are persistent and disruptive. Proceeding with further development will intensify these impacts and lead to long-term environmental degradation within the community.

In addition, Transport for NSW has implemented changes alongside the rollout of the Sydney Metro that have reduced, rather than improved, transport accessibility for local residents. Notably, the removal of direct bus services to the CBD, such as Route 252, has made commuting more difficult and less efficient.

This reduction in public transport services has had a direct negative impact on vulnerable groups, including students and elderly residents, by limiting their mobility and access to essential services. It is also likely to increase reliance on private vehicles, thereby worsening traffic congestion and contributing to higher levels of environmental pollution.

Given that the current transport infrastructure has not been adequately improved to support additional population or development, proceeding with this project will further reduce accessibility, increase congestion, and diminish overall liveability in the area.

For these reasons, I strongly urge the relevant authorities to reconsider this proposal and undertake a more comprehensive assessment of its cumulative impacts on the local community.

The height of the new buildings will obstruct the view from my apartment.

Vehicle traffic will increase considerably, and with no alternative routes, it will cause congestion on Burns Bay Road.

Higher population density in a small area will lead to a greater environmental impact and a decline in the quality of life for those of us who already live here.

I object to this construction of a data centre.

I am a resident of 299 Burns Bay Road, directly opposite the proposed development site at 300 Burns Bay Road. I wish to raise serious concerns regarding the traffic impact and road capacity in this area, particularly at the intersection of Waterview Road and Burns Bay Road.
The current traffic conditions are already strained and, at times, unsafe. Residents on the western side of Waterview Road, including myself, are unable to directly access our properties due to traffic flow restrictions. As a result, we are required to travel to Linley Point, use the loop road to perform a U-turn, and then return to Burns Bay Road. Upon reaching the traffic lights, vehicles must queue in order to turn into our driveway, often delayed further by congestion caused by vehicles entering and exiting Waterview Drive.
This existing situation regularly results in:
Traffic queuing at the intersection and near residential driveways
Delays and difficulty safely accessing properties
Increased risk of accidents due to congestion and turning movements
The proposed development at 300 Burns Bay Road will introduce a significant number of additional residents, which will inevitably lead to:
Increased vehicle movements in an already constrained road network
Greater congestion at the Waterview Road intersection
Additional pressure on turning lanes and traffic signals
Increased presence of construction vehicles during the build phase
The current road infrastructure is not capable of safely or efficiently accommodating this increase in traffic. The intersection of Waterview Road and Burns Bay Road is already operating at or near capacity during peak periods.
I strongly urge the council to:
Conduct a comprehensive and independent traffic impact assessment
Consider upgrades to the intersection and surrounding road network
Evaluate the safety implications for existing residents
Reassess the scale of the proposed development in light of these constraints
Without significant infrastructure improvements, this development will materially worsen traffic congestion, reduce safety, and negatively impact the amenity of existing residents.
I request that these concerns be given serious consideration in the assessment of this proposal.

I am a local and live across the SAS building. Based on my experience, I object to the project due to the following reasons:

- the existing public transport (bus) does not support the additional 3 towers / 225 new dwellings. Currently, the demand for public transportation (bus) especially in the Lane Cove exchange exceed the exisiting supply. Meaning the lines in the mornings from Mondays to Fridays going to the CBD are already very long everyday, resulting to many busses not being able to accommodate the high number of commuters as it is. Adding 225 new dwellings leading to a higher population will definitely increase the demand for public transport that Lane Cove does not have. There is also no Train lines nor Metro lines in the suburb to support the increase of population and higher demand for transport.

- Burns Bay Road and Waterview Drive are both narrow streets. The existing population of people living in the existing multiple apartment complexes i the area that Waterview Drive and Burns Bay Road are servicing are already a lot. One will see that there is already a congestion of cars on these narrow streets especially during rush hours (morning and afternoons) all days of the week.

- there are not a lot of green spaces to accommodate the increase in population when the 3 new towers get completed. Currently there is a very small park and playground in Hughes Park and increasing the population in this very small area will definitely congest the existing green space available.

- the additional 3 new towers will result to an increase of residential supply, negatively affecting the property values of the existing multiple apartment complexes already in the same area

- the 3 new towers will result to less trees and greenery in the area, adding more congestion and population, reducing the area’s overall appeal
