23 - 25 Frederick Street, Rockdale NSW 2216

The construction of a 130 room co-living housing development should be rejected. Our Council should provide more consideration to the surrounding areas, and what it is allowing the suburb to become. Overcrowding is already an issue in Rockdale and as a resident of Rockdale for over 30 years, I do not accept that the build will increase the vitality and lifestyle of Rockdale - in fact, it will do the opposite. Co-living is undesirable and there is not enough parking spaces for the 130 "apartments" being built. this build sells itself as being part of a "bigger plan" for Rockdale, and that might be the case on the other side of the station, but on proposed site, there is already heavy congestion in that area. My child attends the local school and i know the area simply cannot take this type of co-living. The Council should encourage designer to crate housing, habitable for families - not co-living Rockdale used to be a family area - now this feels more like a "nicer looking" boarding house. This application should be denied, as it is not what the community needs. I would be very suprosed if the applicant lives in the area.
