See attached document with further context to the objections below:

Residents express serious concerns about the proposed mixed-use development, citing impacts on safety, livability, and community amenity.
Key issues include:
1. Traffic & Parking: Adding 316 parking spaces will worsen congestion on William Street, increase pollution, and hinder emergency access—contradicting sustainability goals and public transport priorities.
2. Obstruction of Iconic Views
Complete and devastating view loss of panoramic views of Sydney Harbour, the Opera House, and the Harbour Bridge—views that are integral to the amenity and value of our homes, and ultimately key in investment. The proposed building envelope breaches both local and SEPP height controls. The Visual Impact Assessment submitted is flawed, relying on drone imagery and inaccurate baselines, and does not reflect the true extent of the impact. The proposal fails to meet the Tenacity principles of equitable view sharing.
3. Public Parks & Safety: While green spaces are welcomed, lack of passive surveillance and support services may lead to safety risks and overnight occupancy, as seen in nearby parks, including our backyards.
Requests to Council:
Conduct a comprehensive Traffic Impact Assessment, including peak-hour and emergency scenarios.
Implement detailed social impact mitigation measures in consultation with local outreach groups.
Reassess alignment with the area’s character, safety, and livability.

I submit this objection and request that the Department of Planning and Environment defer or refuse consent until a full cumulative impact assessment is undertaken for the entire precinct and assessment of specific concerns related to traffic management, community safety, overcrowding considerations and environmental impacts have been rectified within the current EIS.
When referencing unconsidered cumulative impacts in in the EIS, this submission also considers two other large nearby developments currently in the pipeline:
• 134 William Street, Woolloomooloo
• 203–225 Victoria Street, Potts Point
The current EIS makes cursory note of these developments as needing to be considered, however, deliberately avoids the inclusion of collective impacts in an attempt to diminish the overall impact and confuse the reader on collective implications.
This development on its own, with the cumulative effect of the three major developments — 164 William Street, 134 William Street, and 203–225 Victoria Street — represents a transformation of this small, congested precinct. The combined impact of more than 1,000 new residents and 500 vehicles, on top of current overcrowding in Kings Cross, Darlinghurst and Woolloomooloo, has not been properly considered.
Until a genuine precinct-wide approach is adopted — one that addresses infrastructure, safety, social balance and genuine housing affordability — approval of any individual development is premature and runs counter to planning requirements and defined and agreed community engagement processes.
The attached submission provides detail on specific aspects of the process to date which have not been completed effectively and need to be urgently revisited and responded to.

I strongly support the uplift proposed for more housing. This area needs it, 3 years ago I was priced out just 500m from here. I miss the area and the only way to solve it is to build more housing. Tall buildings are fine and built everywhere but most of Sydney, this area should have a lot more of them.
