502 Forest Road, Bexley NSW 2207

Really? Has the applicant done their homework?
There is a new Childcare centre being built in Highworth Avenue, just near McDonalds, a new 90 place centre in The Plaq building at 8-18 Stoney Creek Road Bexley, an approved one in Donnan Street opposite Bexley Oval, there is an application for another one in Oriental Street Bexley this is apart from the established ones, Rye Avenue Bexley, Preddy's Road Bexley, Mimosa Street Bexley, Gladstone Street Bexley, 2 in Glenfarne Street, one already in Queen Victora Street plus Jack and Jill Pre School.
This is just a list of the close ones, some within a 5 - 10minute walking distance.

Bexley - the suburb of Childcare buildings. Forget about the established trees housing birdlife just bulldoze them and build more childcare centres.

Another 1930’s grand old house getting demolished and replaced with a modern 3 story cookie cutter building.
Why do we need another Childcare centre in Bexley, the Bayside Council already has another 2Childcare centres in planning within 500 metres of each other - 11 Highworth Ave, 1-3 Oriental St Bexley, plus the centre that is opening soon located on the ground floor 8-18 Stoney Creek Rd next to the Bexley RSL.
How will this development not affect the already HIGH traffic conditions on the cnr of Forest and Queen Victoria Rds. The application is for 7 staff and 5 customers parking in the basement for a centre that will house 82 children, plus we have a clearway on Forest Rd from 3-7pm. We will have cars queued up from Forest Rd into Queen Victoria Rds for daily drop offs and pick ups, this development and application doesn’t make and sense.
This intersection currently has 1 accident a week, with the additional movement of daily pick ups and drop off located at the above mention location plus the flow from the centre planned in 11 Highworth Ave ( the street that connects with Queen Victoria,this
will add further traffic congestion at peak times more congested.
The traffic studies conducted in the report for this development doesn’t NOT include the increase traffic and safety risks from 11 Highworth Ave.
Can I ask for you to reconsider this application on the bounds of traffic and safety, I don’t believe there is adequate parking available for daily pick ups and drop offs for the parents dropping their children off at this centre.

Since when are there so many babies in Bexley? It seems like every week there is another application for yet another childcare. This area has already lost so many of it’s most beautiful homes to these ridiculous developments. Also who would want to go to this one when there are plenty in the area already?
