We acquired Unit 3305 in BeauMonde in 2006. This was on the basis that the Shopping World development would never be other than low rise and that the views were offered in perpetuity. Eastmark Developments marketed the building on this basis and the former statement was indeed a condition of the original Council approval of BeauMonde whereby high rise at the western end was approved subject to,low rise at the eastern end being preserved. Of course, time moves on and circumstances change. It is accepted that this is prime real estate in North Sydney and high rise development is inevitable. The subsequent approval for Eastmark however totally breached the good faith undertaking to BeauMonde owners. Now the subsequent developer is seeking a further 7 floors and over 50 metres additional height on Council limits. If this is approved, it sends a clear message that owners should have no trust or faith whatsoever in local or State governments because, in effect, they will do whatever they please and just override all previous limits. This is inneffect triple dipping by developers on the one site and for no reason other than basic moral justice, the application should be rejected, let alone, all the other reasons raised of damage to views, loss of privacy, shading of public areas, traffic congestion and so on.

It is currently difficult at times to access our building by car, and it will get worse as the will be even more traffic due to the greater number of people around - even beyong current proposals.We have originally purchased our apartment on the basis of a prior approval. Now the developers wish to encoch on our views and privacy even more.

We are not in favour of the changes and it is unreasonable for a 3rd party to then override what is a legal agreement made with the developer?

The proposed chanhges increase the usage of the site by 25+%.

It is severely restricting our view - why not make the buitding also taper on its east and west sides? Make it a pyramid.

The proposal is bringing the development even closer to our appartment. We are entitled to privacy, are we not?

Our apartment was originally approved as part of a residential development Now being subsumed by commercial developments.

There will be much increased traffic in surrounding lanes and streets.

Since our purchase of our apartment our owners corporation has entered an agreement with the Berry Square developers and the agreement should be honoured.

As residential owners and retirees we should be entitled to a quiet and hassle free period in our twighlight years.

I am a resident of Beau Monde apartments and have been for years. This new development will be very close to our apartment building, blocking the day light and the view for all units facing south. This will affect our lifestyle majorly and could be one of the causes for moving, incurring significant costs.

I strongly object to the development.
