4 Fairmile Street Bushmead WA 6055

I was looking at purchasing a block here, but if Council is going to consider allowing “variations” from their own code, now I am not so sure. This is a lovely, thoughtfully planned estate and one of the main attractions is the serenity created by the natural bush outlook and sensitive planning. It feels like it’s far away from the city, like being on holidays to visit this area. Building outdoor living areas so close to a boundary is going to spoil the outlook and airflow for neighbours, not to mention the additional noise from occupants of a 5 bedroom home with young children playing so close to the fence. Also I draw your attention to the basketball hoop on council verge. This is a danger and I already had a basketball bounce in front of my car and had to brake. Thank god it wasn’t a child! There are lovely parks for children to play, these blocks are not the 1/4 acre blocks of yesteryear where we all played football and cricket in the street. My concern is that allowing this kind of backyard development is going to ruin the estate and turn it into a built up eyesore view of nothing but rooftops. I might just as well buy in Dayton, Ellenbrook or even Midvale, if that’s what I want to be surrounded by.
