A massive child care centre on a corner of a major road in a R2 Low Density Residential Zone. Breaks every planning rule in the book. Still we have the L&E Court to overturn every sensible Council and Locall Planning Panel decision to reject these outragious and offensive applications.
Another child care centre has a DA in Campbell St 700m to the east of this site.
Is there a need for 2 so close and there also is one already operating between both of these potential sites. If approved that makes 3 within 700m of each other along the same stretch of road being Campbell St and Hammers Rd.
also a 36 twin room boarding house is currently being constructed along this same roadway. The intersection of Hammers Rd/Campbell St and Windsor Road is going to need a re-think especially at peak times. It's already like playing Russian Roulette trying to cross this intersection!!!!!!!!!
Hi please send submissions directly to Parramatta City Council as per https://www.cityofparramatta.nsw.gov.au/development/submissions .You can do that by emailing council@cityofparramatta.nsw.gov.au & mentioning the DA/TA reference in the subject and the body of the email. This is because Parramatta City Council does not consider submissions that are sent via PlanningAlerts.
I have been operating a brand new 64 place childcare centre at 15 Hammers Rd Northmead NSW for last 2 years. I find it so difficult to fill the places. The highest occupancy I have reached is 69%. There is another 110 place childcare DA for 6 Hammers Rd Northmead, NSW, 200 metres away. There is another 84 place childcare DA at 9-11 Campbell St Northmead NSW, 400 metres away, now another one 75 place centre 400 metres away at 52 Hammers Rd Northmead NSW. Four centres within 500 metres in one street. I believe all these centres, if approved will not survive with so close to each other, & spending millions of dollars in investments. I hope the Parramatta Council & the investors realise this & do their home work & research.
While council rejected this the land and environment court has recently approved it . Unbelievable!!
No real thought went into the effects of the size , privacy , residential surrounding homes etc etc . With already 582 spots available with a small radius it is crazy that another one is now approved . Hammers road is already a nightmare on the best of days and now only to get worse . Firor those that make the decisions maybe they would like to live on the road for a while before further effecting the residents !!! We already have a 16 unit development one block down 2-3 bedrooms with only one parking spot
