Seriously!!!! MORE!!!!
Let the erosion of Oak Flats’ community vibe be shattered by medium density, overpopulation & visual desiccation.
Why?
I’d really like to talk with the town planner in council who is signing off on these forms of housing.
Agreed Kin Baker.
I think you will find there is no “town planner” now, but an approval “team” so it’s no ones decision but a team, or focus group making the call.
The world has gone soft.
All
Of our concerns fall on deaf ears.

These Documents - State Government - remove most control from Shellharbour City Council to reject or oversee (state allows private assessors to be employed BY THE DEVELOPER) the construction of what I call JUNK, GHOST, PRISON BLOCK UNITS.
They are NOT AFFORDABLE and they ARE EXPENSIVE for the product you are getting - MARK UP BY DEVELOPERS 300% . People are desperate to buy not realising they are buying a unit not suitable for families, the elderly or those with a disability. They are CONDED to believe its easy living. vacancy rates are high - high rentals demanded by investors and the sheer lack of internal living space and parking space , noise, limit to 3 hours of sunlight a day etc. !!!!!!! So occupants are transitional .INVESTORS BEWARE - even with negative gearing - NO WIN CIRCUMSTANCE - TALK TO A QUALIFIED ACCOUNTANT to give you a yearly cash flow statement , an obtain a Quantity Surveyors Report to show you the true build cost - minus fixtures and fittings. Best wishes to those to have already over committed to an oversupplied market.
