Keep Narrabeen as it is, Narrabeen is busy enough and this type of project is not suitable for this neighborhood.

I write in support of the proposed Indigo by Moran development for the following reasons:
1. Meeting growing demand for high quality seniors living in the Northern Beaches
The Northern Beaches LGA has a significant and increasing population of over 60 year old residents. The upper Northern Beaches have a particularly high population of retirement aged residents, however the existing retirement villages are dated and do not reflect the median house price in the locality. The Indigo by Moran proposal will provide modern, purpose-built living tailored for seniors, that will help residents stay in their community and downsize, without compromising quality.
2. Supports housing market movement and diversity
By enabling older people to downsize and remain in the local area, the project can assist in freeing up larger homes for young families, contributing indirectly to housing supply. Having dedicated seniors living also diversifies housing stock and helps create multi-generational neighbourhoods.
3. Local economic construction benefits
The development will support the local economy, by providing jobs during construction, and ongoing jobs for the operations of the village. This kind of development strengthens the local area and services the economy, as seen in the development of Sage by Moran in Cronulla and the Rose by Moran in Wahroonga.
5. Proximity to amenity and transport
The site is in a great location, a short walk from the beach, shops, healthcare facilities and public transport. For older people, proximity to these amenities means improved quality of life, reduced dependency on long commutes, and access to the local communities, leisure, and health services.
6. Revitalising an underutilised site
The site has been vacant for several years since the closure of the former facility. In its current state, it contributes little to the local streetscape and community; effectively dead land in a highly desirable and well-serviced location. Without redevelopment, the land will continue to deteriorate and offer no benefit to residents or the local economy. The proposal provides a meaningful and appropriate use for the site, activating the area with new life, employment, and community engagement, whilst addressing the need for high quality seniors living.

I support the development of additional Retirement living space on the northern beaches. I am 70 yrs old and need to downsize into somewhere that has nearby facilities and transport connections. The planned development would be of a high standard which also attracts me.

Exciting project for older residents. The plans look beautiful.
