The proposal rises to around 18.4 metres, more than 50% above local height controls, completely out of scale with surrounding homes.

Buildings sit just 3 metres from neighbouring properties, worsening overshadowing, privacy impacts and loss of amenity.

Questionable “seniors living” outcomes
Despite being promoted as seniors housing, the development includes only two care beds (both underground), while adding luxury features such as a pool, sauna, gym, cinema and wine cellar.

Almost the entire site is proposed to be cleared, including the removal of a 2.5 metre wide Port Jackson fig and other mature trees

The project is being assessed as a State Significant Development, meaning North Sydney Council has been removed from the decision‑making process.

More than 100 adjoining homes are affected through increased height, bulk, overshadowing, privacy loss and safety concerns.

Cammeray is not St Leonards.

I am concerned about scale, tree loss, safety and the future character of the suburb.

This project is totally inappropriate & unwanted in this street & area as it is far too large & out of character with surrounding dwellings. This street has great character & history with primarily single level Victorian homes, apart from 3 unit blocks with 2 storeys that were built in the 60's/70's. The size & height of the proposed 2 buildings is overwhelming and to have such a project accommodating 50 units, 89 car parks & amenities will destroy the harmony of the area, with an extra 100 residents, staff and visitors living in/attending the buildings will overpopulate the area which is already jampacked and is already a heavy traffic area. Parking is at a premium and the extra traffic from this project will cause chaos, further delays along Rosalind & West St, more noise and extra pollution. I am curious why this development did not go through North Sydney Council rather than the NSW Government, as I don't believe Council would have approved this Development Application right from the outset. Hoping with all my heart this project does not proceed and the Dept of Planning seriously investigates the negative outcomes that would result.

I am filing my objection as a long time resident of Cammeray. The proposed development height up to eight stories is excessive. Too big and not set back and a large amount of proposed excavating to provide parking and -- an absolute UNDIGNIFIED care of our aging population by placing 2 beds in a basement. The size of the proposed units are also questionable - 3 and 4 bedrooms. Doesn't reflect seniors living outcomes and the unit size limits housing diversity. Also when SEARs, the project was costed at $31m. The EIS now claims $68mj, raising concerns about cost accuracy and need to keep the proposal above the SSD threshold and outside Council determination. The proposed removal of 25 trees is a great loss of greenery and green canopy which is home to various native species not to mention providing protection and shade. If approved, this proposal sets a precendent for non-compliant development.

The proposal is overly large for the area, which sets a dangerous precedent for Cammeray. The height and of the proposal is massive and too large for a residential street in Cammeray.

I support this project and appropriate to area, even it is in a busy location with good accessibility to public transport and facilities.
There are many other multi dwelling buildings in the immediate area and this is not inappropriate for the area.
