I want the buildings above the Crows Nest Metro station to support our
designation as a Health and Education Precinct and bring more jobs
into the area, enabling us to meet the jobs target set by the Greater
Sydney Commission.

1. I object to a change in planning controls for this site.

2. I object to building any high rise residential towers on this site.
Residential developments do next to nothing to bring jobs and business
to the area.

3. I object to any building on Block C.

4. I object to any parking on this site. We want the area to be as CAR
FREE as possible.

Rather than residential buildings, this site must continue as a vital
employment and business generating retail/commercial/service district
without the encroachment of residential development which does nothing
for jobs or business.

1. I want the buildings above the Metro to be part of an education
hub. These buildings could contain things like: a high tech technology
park; TAFE that specialises in technology, hospitality, cooking and
the film industry; a comprehensive, non-selective high school; a
selective technology high school; a language school; a music school; a
drama school; a dance school, a barista school and a culinary
institute.

2. I want the buildings above the Metro to contain services and
activities that maintain and improve the health of the community:
medical services; alternative health care; recreational spaces; a
performance space; movie theatres; a new community centre; more
childcare; a start-up hub and serviced offices.

At the moment, the infrastructure (road, school) in Crows Nest can not
support the new growth of more residents and more car on the road. If
you put the residential apartments above metro station, you will turn
the roads around like Pacific Highway, Falcon St into car park and the
ambulance, fire trucks will be delayed which defeats the purpose of
having emergency services.

Re: Over Station Development

Based on Community Feedback on page 12 for the proposed development
there are lots of best practice concept statements but vague
supporting detail. Two specific issues are:

-Traffic congestion and parking are important to consider
- More green space, community services and facilities are wanted

Traffic studies confirming no significant impact are not believable.
Since the movement to increase housing density along the Pacific
Highway began several years ago, the traffic and parking in Crows Nest
has become increasingly problematic. Council and the RMS have done
little to foster improvement. History shows that despite public
transportation (busses and 4 close in train stations), people buy and
use cars. Local parking is a constant problem for residents and
visitors.

It is disingenuous (and possibly insulting) to say that above station
structures, i.e. 350 new homes, 200 hotel rooms, an 8 story commercial
commercial building, and street level retail will be sufficiently
served by 150 parking spaces and it is worse to claim there will be no
adverse impacts on the road network (Page 22). Simple math, if
applied, discredits this assumption.

Consider, the above over station occupants plus already proposed and
approved and under construction high rise buildings plus current St
Leonards buildings recently opened plus street retail plus current
metering restrictions plus through highway traffic to Falcon Street
and North Sydney plus "significant" (large, to be defined) structures,
and evaluate the legitimacy of the "studies".

Presumably there is a formula for green space relative to population
density. It is woefully inadequate in its current configuration and
appears to be more so as families are stacked vertically. The effects
on children being raised in units without ample outdoor facilities is
a disservice. There is more focus on retail services than open space
recreational facilities. It begs the bigger picture question of what
this is all meant to achieve and what are considered "quality of life"
values. Developer monies are seriously insufficient to realise the
benefits touted in the glossy brochures.

It is worth considering thecurrent disastrous development issues in
NSW (trains, light rail, roads, museum, sporting venues), Council
should try to lead in quality, effectiveness and cost in its
development actions. We voters are at best skeptical, but mostly angry
about the integrity of development. Problems can't be laid on
developers alone; they can't develop what is not abetted, or a more
kindly expression, made available by government.

The Sydney Metro project represents a once in a generation opportunity to
critically evaluate how current, and shape how future, transport looks
Sydney.
Properly executed, the Metro will enable the necessary, but liveable,
density to be achieved to facilitate a growing city.
The current proposal does not achieve this.
Whilst acknowledging the need to increase population density,
particularly around transport corridors, this proposal tips that
balance far too in favour of development.
In very simple terms:
- the scale of the residential complex should be reduced
- the pro-rata car parking provision should be reduced - these folk
will be living on top of a train station!
- the opportunity to reduce the scale of the Pacific Highway through
Crows Nest and to return road space to public land doesn't appear to
have been given sufficient consideration.
It is also incomprehensible how a state government can be deploying a
state of the art metro system through one transport corridor, but at
the same time propose a 1950's solution in the form of a road to the
Northern Beaches.
