Seriously, NOT MORE!!!!!! please, no more council!!!!!! They lack character & will place more pressure on the existing infrastructure, let alone reduce the value of housing in the area.
NO MORE TOWNHOUSES…. Come on please!!! STOP! Just because it’s allowed with zoning and NSW Regulations, doesn’t mean you have to allow them!
I agree the infrastructure is not coping with the multiple homes on a block. So many cars- no private outdoor space. Greedy developers hand in hand with realestate agents raiding opportunistically. Yes the sellers get a good price then three homes pop up on a block. High Density is killing us. Just my opinion as a resident of 60 years.
Totally agree with the commentors Kim and Fiona.
These are "Junk Units" poor quality very very small (note: they dont provide
details of living space) which includes garage(s) private patio (if it has one
at all). A two bedroom would be lucky to be 6 sqs (old home 10-12). They are
unsuitable for families, the elderly , the disabled (kitchen toilet design),
step narrow stairs. No green open areas trees footpaths , blind corners in yard,
parking in garage or parking spaces are too small for modern vehicles, so they use garage
as temporary stay in their temporary home. Nothing to attract families etc. They attract
temporary itnerate occupation at about 50%. Few occupants are long term. Its all they
can afford. Their home 12sqs is sold for the same price these dumps are selling for.
Families cannot purchase as agents give developers first dibs. Thus afforability is LOST
- build + land $200k, sold $600K each. So much for State Government Zoning changes. The investor losses
big time (real dip into the pocket real money losses) - they just don't know it yet - wait for two tax years on .... .They are
promised the moon on an already oversupplied marked of Junk Units.
Shellharbour area looks like a cheap and nasty area to live in rather than a treed green space of well designed units with facilities like play grounds etc. city.
