Detailed comments attached as Word document

Please find attached Council's submission. A comprehensive submission will be provided next week as per the extension granted.

I object to the:
1. Insufficient Pedestrian thoroughfares across this development from each surrounding street, especially from the main road in Crown Street to all other surrounding streets,
2. All building are too tall, broad and densely packed on the sight
3. Crown Street and Keira Street lack sufficient retail and city centre
4. Inactive streetscape especially on Crown and Keira Street
5. Tall and Dense Buildings add to extreme winds on Crown Street and block natural light impacting business and pedestrian a in city retail centre toward Crown and Keira St intersection
6. Crown Street buildings need to be setback more to open area and Keira St needs setback Because Dark , Cold & Unwelcoming
7. Severe Lack of Parking...Needs to be more than doubled to reduce lack of accessability for aged, young families, disabled, visitors, shoppers, etc
8.Shadowing & lack of light cast by excessive buildings
9. Unreasonable blockage of iconic views across Wollongong
10. Poor precedent for business confidence in city if its one rule for some and there is inconsistency
11. Unsympathetic design as surrounding buildings are mostly continuously glazed and street accessible retail every few metres
12. Unsympathetic design as most surrounding buildings are 2 storeys so this development will look like a planning nightmare towering ridiculously over small properties
13. Retail proposed is distanced from existing retail center at the corner of Crown and Keira Street which does not support retail center
14. This proposal dominates train transport access routes and several bus, taxi and private stopping areas so should offer many more pedestrian walkways through it to other streets and especially to Crown and Keira Street which is at the city center or it will cut off connectivity and business into town

I object to this proposal explained in detail in the submitted file attached
