1. I strongly oppose the proposed development . North Narrabeen is rapidly becoming an increasing flood risk zone with past development decisions in the area being regretted because of their potential flood and wave action erosion.
2. The density that will occur with so many residences in such a small footprint will increase unbearably the pressure on the already narrow and restricted surrounding street network. These streets are barely coping with present local traffic and are under increasing pressure during weekends and holiday periods where non resident traffic and parking are at their peak.
3. The removal of established tree and canopy cover goes against all common sense in a rapidly increasing heated environment.
4. Some already local highly overdeveloped suburbs have been for years showing the signs of deterioration and become 'dead suburbs' . Far removed from the present beauty of the area that assists in local and visiting mental health.
5. The height is far in excess of existing local planning laws and will set a precedent that greedy developers will use to promote further highrise for their personal gain.
6. The height will undoubtedly create completely unreasonable shading footprints on surrounding residences and again creating a precedence that won't be able to be contain.
I cannot object strongly enough to the enormity of this ugly proposal.

I wish to object to the proposal on the grounds of height - six storeys is out of scale and character with Narrabeen. It will set a precedent to build more highrise along the coast and elsewhere in Narrabeen, and increase traffic congestion. Narrabeen is already in a flood-risk zone and not a good area to encourage increased density.
I urge NSW Planning to reject this proposed development.

The developers did not seem to consult the local residents. The height and size of the development does not suit and is not in keeping with the rest of the area.

North Narrabeen is not Dee Why, we do NOT want highrises here
This should never have been given approval in the first place

Submission to the NSW State Planning Authority – Objection to Proposed Development in Narrabeen
I am a local resident living at 5/81 Ocean Street, Narrabeen, and I am writing to object to the proposed development currently under consideration in Narrabeen.
My concerns are based on three key issues: traffic impact, excessive height and visual amenity, and parking and congestion.
1. Traffic Impact
Narrabeen is already under significant traffic pressure, particularly along Ocean Street, Pittwater Road and the surrounding feeder streets. Congestion is common during peak hours, school drop-off and pick-up times, and weekends. The proposed development will:
    •    Increase vehicle movements well beyond what the current road network can reasonably support
    •    Add to congestion at nearby intersections that are already operating at or near capacity
    •    Create further safety risks for pedestrians, cyclists, and schoolchildren
There is no realistic evidence that the local road infrastructure can absorb this increase without further degrading traffic flow and community safety.
2. Height and Visual Impact
At six storeys, the development is excessively tall for the Narrabeen area and inconsistent with the existing neighbourhood character. The height would:
    •    Set a damaging precedent for high-rise development in a low-scale coastal suburb
    •    Dominate the streetscape and overshadow nearby properties
    •    Visually obstruct the natural coastal aspect that defines Narrabeen’s character
The proposal fails to respect the coastal village identity of the suburb and would have a negative aesthetic impact on both residents and visitors.
3. Parking and Local Congestion
Parking is already a known issue in the area, particularly during weekends, school holidays, and periods of good beach weather. The development would:
    •    Bring more vehicles than the site can reasonably accommodate
    •    Spill additional parking into already constrained local streets
    •    Increase competition for parking for existing residents and businesses
It is unreasonable to approve a development that will worsen a well-documented parking shortage for the local community.

Request
Given the documented and foreseeable impacts on traffic, amenity, and community infrastructure, I strongly oppose the development in its current form. I request that the State Planning Authority reject this proposal or require substantial changes that address the concerns above, including:
    •    Reducing the height to align with existing local character
    •    Demonstrating a realistic and independently reviewed traffic and parking impact plan
    •    Ensuring any approved development does not worsen congestion, safety, or liveability for current residents

we do not need more traffic through here, we do not need ugly massive buildings in our beautiful local area. let’s keep it the way it is.

Please find attached my formal objection along with a brief summary below.

I strongly object to the proposed SSD for Indigo by Moran on the following grounds:

- Excessive height: The proposed 6-storey building is ~72% above the SEPP height limit and inconsistent with the area’s 2-storey character, obstructing views and harming visual amenity.
- Non-compliant setbacks: The proposal fails to meet SEPP setback requirements, increasing bulk, overshadowing, and privacy impacts.
- Traffic and access issues: The driveway location on Lagoon Street will cause congestion in residential streets; access should be via Ocean Street instead.
- Tree loss and inadequate deep soil: 69 of 82 trees are to be removed (including 13 Category A1 protected trees), severely reducing canopy cover and neighbourhood character - they also recognise significant importance to First Nations people.
- No community consultation: Moran provided no opportunity for public input before submitting this SSD, showing disregard for community engagement.

The development is inconsistent with SEPP controls, out of scale for the location, and detrimental to the amenity of Narrabeen residents. I request the Department refuse the proposal or require a significant amendment.

Objection – Indigo by Moran (156 Ocean Street, Narrabeen)

Please refer to the attached document.

I strongly object to the proposed State Significant Development for Indigo by Moran on the following grounds:

- Excessive height: The proposed 6-storey building exceeds the SEPP height limit by ~72%, dominating the landscape and obstructing views in a 2-storey residential area.
- Non-compliant setbacks: Setbacks across all boundaries fail to meet SEPP standards, resulting in overdevelopment, bulk, and privacy impacts.
- Traffic and access issues: The proposed Lagoon Street driveway will cause congestion and safety risks; access should instead be from Ocean Street.
- Tree loss: The removal of 69 of 82 trees (including 13 Category A1 heritage-value trees) and inadequate deep soil areas are inconsistent with the local tree canopy strategy.
- Lack of consultation: The proponent has undertaken no community engagement prior to submission, which is unacceptable for a project of this scale.

The proposal is inconsistent with SEPP objectives, out of scale with its context, and contrary to community and environmental interests. It should be refused or substantially amended.
