North Narrabeen is a beautiful place lets not ruin another place for the financial gain of a select few.
This development will change the already over crowded street parking and local infrastructure.
I don't live on any of the properties that surround this development proposal, but I feel for the potential impact this would have on these properties regarding loss of natural sunlight and cooling sea breezes.
This development does not help the low income property housing shortage that i'm sure greedy developers are bending laws to obtain larger scale land usage and profit.

Much needed development for the area to help with housing needs

This is an overdevelopment for this area. It is not in keeping with the area. It will ruin the character of the area and cause traffic congestion in this area.

I would love to move into this type of Independent Living complex when I retire – it is ideally located near the beach, shops and has accessible transport. I do not have any objections to the design or height and believe we need more retirement villages given the ageing population. It would free up homes for younger families.

I have lived in an apartment on Ocean Street for almost 9 years and in that time I have come to realise the traffic on Ocean Street has become alot more heavier. This is so high that I need to close my sliding doors otherwise I cannot speak on my phone or hear my television. With all these new apartments in this proposed complex the traffic will be horrendous!

6 storeys is absolutely insane in that spot. I am all for affordable housing and aged care facilities but building 6 storeys high is just greed. We already can’t park anywhere and it’s a nightmare street to get out of and it’s all low rise. Allowing this to go through sets a dangerous precedent for future projects. We must protect our neighbourhood and environment. I strongly oppose this development.

I think it is a wonderful thing - it frees up larger houses for those who need them and bring the elderly into a community environment - which we know is better for everyone, but particularly our older population for whom loneliness is a major issue - and contributor to faster ageing.

Yes, it is big, yes, it is the first building in the area of this height, no, it is not particularly “sympathetic” to the current surrounds - BUT - the build will be high quality and tasteful - not a Meriton square block of bleakness.

And we can no longer ignore the crisis that housing has become in Sydney. And in particular, the Northern Beaches. We live in a beautiful part of the world, who are we to not allow others to do the same.

The beach will still be the same distance from where you are now. Your favourite cafe isn’t going anywhere, Woolies will still be standing, and the lake will still fill with sand and the diggers will still move it all back down to Collaroy.

Change is hard and scary, that doesn’t mean we don’t let it happen.

I note that only 7 visitor parking spaces are to be available for 149 units.Current parking in Ocean and Lagoon Streets and all surrounding streets is virtually non-existent due to local demand.This project will significantly impact traffic and parking in the local area.Such impacts increase safety issues for the neighbourhood especially for our children.
