This development will have a significant impact on Bill Pye Park, including the health of a number of mature trees. The design of the building itself contrasts strongly with the streetscape and desired character of the area. Constructing 9 units on this site, 1820 square meters, is almost twice the density of development allowed on adjacent and neighbouring blocks. This will impact the amenity, safety and streetscape for local residents. The congestion on the site and the overshadowing by trees will result in lifestyle and safety impacts for the proposed future tenants.
This proposal will result in the demolition of community facility building with a lease purpose requiring a childcare centre and community centre. These facilities are required in Ainslie. The community will no longer have access to the site.
There are a number of other issues with this proposed development which I will expand open later.
Thank you for the opportunity to lodge an objection.
