The development needs more commercial and retail space. Epping is turning into a residential ghost town with not enough commercial activity to provide jobs and services for the thousands of people that will live here in the coming years. At minimum, the first 3-5 storeys of each tower needs to be allocated for retail/commercial activity. If people can live, work and get services in Epping this will put less pressure on the surrounding infrastructure (i.e. roads, trains and buses).

We live in 23 Ray Road and every morning coming out from Ray Road and turning into Carlingford Road takes us a considerable long time due to the number of cars. With this new development, no consideration has been given to the existing traffic chaos. I understand this project will house about 500 new apartments which means there will be an additional 50 cars at least during the morning peak hours. Building a public pedestrian from Ray Road to Beecroft Road does not serve any purpose. In order to go to the train station, we still go via Carlingford Road or Rawson Street. To ease the traffic both at Epping Bridge and Carlingford/Beecroft Road I suggest buiding an overpass for traffic from Cambridge Street into Beecroft Road. This will make a big difference to all the cars coming from the city and going towards Beecroft /Carlingford / Pennant Hills and vice versa. Please give this suggestion your due consideration. Thanks

The project makes no provision for public parking.Most stations on the Metro have had provision made to accommodate public vehicles.As there will be a major excavation for the project as originally proposed to accommodate strata lot parking there should be further excavation for say 3 levels of public parking - the state government has financed public parking - for such a major transport hub as Epping provision of public parking should be reviewed and such provision made in this new project. Whether such parking is free or for a fee should be determined. Three levels of parking should be able to accommodate 100 vehicles per level.An examination of the current parking in Epping shows that there is insufficient parking. The last state member Mr Tudenhope made many approaches to P'matta City Council to provide more parking facilities in Epping to no avail. This development affords the opportunity to correct the position and provide a need facility on current state owned Crown land
