*Over development with the bulk of the building being too high and does not comply with the local LEPs height of 8.5m
*Zoning for the area is R3
*No benefit to the community with the cheapest price being around $3million dollars with no affordable housing included in the development. This is a private luxury retirement development and is not in the spirit of the NSW governments requirements.
*The overshadowing of surrounding properties and also visual intrusion of nearby properties in all surrounding streets.
*Traffic hazard, safety and congestion with the addition of 300 more vehicles to Lagoon st which is already under review by council for traffic problems.
*There has been no local consolation or consideration by the developers.

The height is not in line with the other buildings in the area.
There is not enough parking for residents or staff which will contest an already congested ocean st.
Make it smaller and provide more onsite parking please.

I am aware that this development has sparked some aggressive community opposition from some individuals. I see posters imploring me to write objections to the development when I go for a walk, when I scroll social media or when I open my inbox, mobile messages or WhatsApp.

I believe this opposition is at the behest of one (or a small group of) agitator(s). I do not believe this opposition is in the communities best interest and do not believe that opposition is the majority view.

Those leading calls for opposition I think would oppose multi storey development in any location in Narrabeen, which will unfairly restrict access to those needing a new home. Areas suitable for multi storey development are few in Narrabeen, so I believe that when one is found the development should be supported.

Compared with many other parts of the local area, the proposal location is well suited to a multi storey development - with infrastructure like buses, walking tracks/footpaths, cafes, medical/GP surgeries, vet, and even childcare well developed in the immediate local area.

There is a lack of similar accommodation catering to retirees nearby, so this meets a need and maximises the use of the land, leaving other development plots available for other uses (probably NOT multi storey ones).

My one area of doubt is about car parking and vehicular movement. The area street car parking is already saturated, and the street traffic near capacity- particularly on weekends (for beach access/leaisure trips) and at peak hour for commuters (local and those utilising the ‘rat run’).

I ask that the proposal be approved subject to the planning board being satisfied that sufficient parking for residents and their guests has been catered for and that entry/exit from the building during construction and after completion not restrict the flow of traffic on ocean street and other surrounding streets.

Thank you.

The height and scale of this development are completely inappropriate for this area and exceed current height restrictions. This development will overshadow neighbouring properties and be visually overwhelming on Ocean Steet. This area is in a coastal erosion flood zone. The number of units proposed will mean increased traffic on narrow roads which are already excessively busy and lacking parking, with a primary school also located nearby this development. This development will encroach on the amenities of the area and needs to be scaled back.

HOW IS THIS ALLOWED TO BE PASSED IN A RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY

Narrabeen was NOT apart of the new state rezoning, why is this company exempt to the rules ?


What about the environment? Or does that not matter anymore as long as you pay off local and state politicians?

The government has handy capped local family’s from selling and relocating due to above mentioned lack of rezoning . Clearly this company has paid money through a back door to allow them to be exempt! Now they can never be built out and command million dollar views over life long locals !

6 story’s ! shadowing every other dwelling around them


Our streets aren’t designed to house a dwelling at such scale! This is a small residential community not the CBD


7-9 visitor car spots ? For hundreds and hundreds of new RESIDENTS ? Where are they going to park ? Maybe I’m unaware does the new property have a helicopter pad for them to come and go ?


They are Selling off the plan 4-5 million each ? Moran has brought multiple property’s on lagoon street and has isolated the corner block ? Why ? Because they are bullying local residents offering the owner only 3 m ?

In so confused 😕 Does Moran own a Time Machine ? Must be located next to there be helicopter pad .

Are we in 2006 ?

On what planet is a luxury free standing home with 5 beds that price 100m from the beach in Sydney?

This home is worth a 5-6 million dollars .

They are strong arming residents , Implying that if you don’t sell we will just build around you as plans suggest boxing in a single home with 6 levels ?



X3 levels dug carpark on adjacent property’s within loftus street . Offset from the boundary is not adequate how can you dig that deep on sand without rocking the neighbours footings and slabs ? It’s impossible! Not to mention 6 stories shadowing all sun from the north facing back yards



This entire proposal goes against our entire local zoning and community planning ! No one wants this . None of us agree to this how can the government allow this to happen ? What about the environment? What about locals ? What about neighbouring property’s ?

I am writing to formally object to the proposed development, not on the basis of opposing development itself, but due to the disproportionate scale and its impact on the surrounding environment and infrastructure.

The proposed building height—reportedly two to three times taller than any existing structure in the area—is inconsistent with the established character of the neighbourhood. While growth is expected and welcomed, the magnitude of this proposal exceeds what can reasonably be accommodated in a constrained peninsula bordered by both ocean and lagoon.

Transport infrastructure in the area is already under significant pressure. The two roads servicing the peninsula are frequently congested, and on-street parking is at full capacity already (any cursory assessment will be able to determine this is the case). The lagoon and ocean provide insurmountable options to increase the volume of on street parking.

Introducing 150 new apartments with only 1.2 car spaces per unit and a mere seven visitor spots is unrealistic. It assumes a level of car ownership that is not realistic—particularly given the limited public transport options and the likelihood that many occupants will be elderly and reliant on private vehicles.

This proposal risks overwhelming local infrastructure, exacerbating traffic congestion, and significantly reducing accessibility for existing residents. The environmental and logistical constraints of the site demand a more measured approach to development—one that respects the scale and capacity of the area.

I urge the planning authority to reconsider the height and density of this proposal and to ensure that any future development aligns with the sustainable capacity of the local environment and infrastructure.

Project is out of character for the area, has significant impact upon existing building heights and will create shadowing. Existing streets cannot cope with parking and traffic under current conditions and will be further impacted by this development which does not have enough parking for what will be required.

Living in Narrabeen, NSW, is an experience rich with natural beauty, community spirit, and a shared respect for our environment. Yet, these intrinsic values are under threat with the proposed SSD-76220734 development, aiming to construct a 149-apartment, six-storey building at 156-164 Ocean Street through to Lagoon and Octavia Streets. This proposal not only jeopardises our local environment but also our community.


We oppose this development as there are serious practical concerns, especially regarding traffic and safety. The increased population density stemming from this development will exacerbate an already struggling local traffic system. It adds risk to all who travel in the area, including pedestrians and cyclists, who frequent our streets. It will increase the scarcity of on street parking.


Furthermore, the sheer size of the development—reaching up to 20 meters—poses visual obstruction and is undeniably an overdevelopment of the area. Hundreds of residents living on the escarpment will face the direct consequences, as their once unobstructed views and community ambiance will be overwhelmed by this towering structure.

We urge that our voices are heard and that this huge development is stopped.

This scale and height of this building is not appropriate for the suburb and location, and goes against what the community wants and local planning guidelines, and will only lead to further developments of this nature, impacting the community. Traffic in this area is already problematic with no solutions for major arterials in sight.
