I note that the MBRC DA Tracker is showing 'No documents attached to this application' so it's a bit difficult to comment on the actual infrastructure. However I have one area of concern and that revolves around access to and egress from the property.
For whatever reason the powers that be have previously determined that traffic into and out of the shopping centre have right of way over vehicles driving along Mary Ring Drive towards Mount Glorious Road. Given that many drivers fail to indicate their intention to turn right into the shopping centre across oncoming traffic, and the propensity of some drivers to exit the shops carpark at great speed without looking, this has already proved a recipe for near misses. One must assume that cars are entering the carpark and keep a sharp eye out for those exiting.
Additionally I have experienced many times vehicles exiting the existing child care centre directly opposite the shopping centre carpark at speed with little regard for surrounding traffic.
We therefore appear to have two private properties with primacy over a public roadway.
In any development of 1 -5 Mary Ring I would like to see this absurd situation addressed. The new development should have a stop or give way sign at the exit, as should the shopping centre, and right of way re-established for Mary Ring, being a public road.
Additionally, perhaps this development may provide an opportunity for Council to get the short stretch of road between the Mary Ring/ Cath Fitzgerald roundabout and the shopping centre driveway fixed properly once and for all.

DA 2022/4057 is also proposing a development with food outlets. This DA 5092 is preferable as it is located in a more sensible location and does not involve traffic issues on Main St, Samford Rd and Junction St as is the case with DA 4057.
The construction of DA 4057 will also be highly disruptive to the travelling public and to the residents of Junction St not to mention the very high risk associated with excavations up to 11 metres deep, necessary for underground car parking and storage.
