All recent comments on applications from Wyndham City Council, VIC

Please construct this along with...
Ison road bridge over the train tracks connecting to the freeway.
Urgent urgent bridge connection north of Armstrong road over the Werribee river. This is the most important infrustructure project required for our area.
Duplication on Ballan road would be nice.

The application details are quite vague - "Use of land as a place of assembly (community centre)".
Please address the following questions:
Will there be a building erected?
How many people will be assembling?
How often?
What time of the day/night?
Will vehicles be parking on adjacent streets?
Will there be lighting at the assembly, if at night?
What levels of noise will be generated by the assembly?
What will be the expected nature of the assemblies?
Who will be managing the "community centre" for purposes of contact if necessary?
Thank you in advance for responding to the above.

Disappointing that the "removal" of condition 1C is described as "'minor" when it directly impacts the amenity and enjoyment of the surrounding neighbours properties. This proposal is for 3 dwellings on a relatively small area (originally intended for a single dwelling) with all 3 dwellings serviced by a single driveway, directly adjacent to neighbouring bedrooms. The replacement of the existing boundary fences with higher, acoustically appropriate fences should be considered an integral and essential component of a higher density development. The existing residents should not have their amenity compromised for the sake of a developers profit. A reduction of suitable landscaping is also a sign of lack of consideration of not only the neighbouring residents, but also the streetscape in general. The original provisions are reasonable and in keeping with elevated, higher density developments and should be abided by, remaining as intended.

This part of sayers Rd is already under pressure with two places of worship most mornings and nights due to incredible traffic. Adding in another 17 dwellings coming off sayers Rd directly will make the traffic along here unbearable.

I can see the amendment now.
No objection. Thank you.

This is one of the last remaining rural areas within Hoppers Crossing and it should be kept that way instead of being developed using the "Places Of Worship" trick. Many people enjoy walking their dogs and riding their bikes along this road instead of being forced to use one of the community centres. Many of the people using this area for recreation do so to escape the ugly urban sprawl that council allows to occur in the area as doing so has a positive effect on ones health. This, and any further similar proposals in the area MUST be rejected on those grounds.

Why are there absolutely no details regarding the "amendment to the planning permit"?
Exactly what is being amended?

Totally unsuitable use for this property. This is a residential property, in a residential precinct, with limited parking. The road servicing this property is very narrow with poorly formed earth guttering. There WILL be overflow parking onto the street. Council will then be held liable when someone slips and injures themselves when alighting from a vehicle. "Places of worship" should only be allowed in purpose built buildings in suitably zoned areas with adequate parking. The amenity of the surrounding residential family homes will also be irreversibly negatively changed. The proposal should be rejected.

My suggestion is to centralize these business service center at the unoccupied vacant land in front of Wyndham vale train station.
The vacant land have been abundant for long time and is better to make use of it.

Dear Sir/Madam
Can you please let us know about the provided ca rparks for childcare facility as we are living nearby of this property and worry about the traffic congestion there.

thanks

Here we go again
4 dwellings at least 2 cars and parking and congestion as stated our roads are crowded there is enough land around us cap the developers so they can’t makes as much profit .School places we are struggling with Schools
GP’s to find of which there aren’t enough in Wyndham never mind potential. hospital beds
It needs to stop
Please stop all these multiple dwellings being built on a block that your predecessors planned for a single dwelling

Hi team,

2 Patch Circuit Laverton North VIC 3026
I am interested to purchase this land to build a 3 warehouse. any chance i can get permit for that?

Yet another gross over development.
17 two storey, 3brm residences for families with children, remote from any adequate public transport and blessed with ONE parking space each.
There will also be 34 bins out every second rubbish day, coupled with the parking overflow, creating a significant traffic safety issue.
These developments destroy the amenity of the area and are soulless designs lacking a any redeeming character and will, ultimately, become mini slums.

This is ridiculous. Surely 4 lots is too little. This tiny plot deserves at least 20 lots. Maybe even 40 if each human living inside stands on one foot instead of the customary two. Even Peter lives only on a two metre by two metre plot.

Once again I ask myself why
There isn’t enough room on our roads. In our schools , or child care facilities in our hospitals ,at our GPS or at our vets .Yet Yet you are considering 4 dwellings on a site that was originally planned for, For one house .One house
With perhaps two cars at most and perhaps 4 children
Do not allow this to happen

Please remember why people built in the ave blocks. It was not to be surrounded by medical centres, child care or places of worship. Sayers Road is not designed to have the traffic that is already on it, let alone the extra congestion brought by along these developments. There will be parking issues and increased turning traffic on a very busy road. These issues are already evident at the temple down further. Please do not allow this.

Why add more mayhem to an all ready busy road? So much empty land available elsewhere, ridiculous on all aspects of this planning.

Too congested with multiple medical centres. Fix the roads first by duplicating the lanes and proper paths

Nothing further should be allowed on Sayers Rd until additional lanes are added to it. Not a place of worship-not a medical centre. Nothing!

To the council: Pls suspend all approvals for anymore places of worship until duplication of Sayers Rd. There are already multiple places of worships for all religions on Sayers Rd. Another one would greatly impact the quality of life for existing residents negatively. There would be more bottlenecks due this applications approval.

This community had already objected to a similar project in March 2021. Initially the proposal was a private application, where the applicant was Taylor’s Development Strategies Pty Ltd for Dabag Co Developments, Basel Dabbagh. The community put forward strong objections and the application was withdrawn from Wyndham City Council as a result.
How can a similar project, which was withdrawn in 2021, by the same development corporation be approved through a State system (clause 52.2) where our objections dont count?
There are far too many dwellings proposed for this area.
We currently have difficulty getting in and out of the estate. The Traffic report is inaccurate. It has not been surveyed over several days along Shaws road, during peak times, nor has Stewart drive, Leigh and Vaina streets been included in the survey and the proposed parking along Stewart drive hasn't taken into account with respect to Emergency and refuse vehicle access.
I have strong objections to this development.

I am a single female residing at Reynolds CRT Werribee, which is right around the corner from the proposed development and the news of a 32 double-story dwelling left me deeply disturbed and upset. I would like to clearly state my opposition to the proposed 32 unit dwelling development and list my main reasons below:

At present, my area is a hub of one-storey (and only a few double-storey) houses, with reasonably sized backyards, front yards, and setbacks, where none of the properties is sub-divided, which makes our neighborhood character. I strongly believe that the proposed multi-unit sub-divided development will destroy the neighborhood character.

In my personal opinion, lack of the facilities such as soup kitchens, shops, train stations, hospitals, or community centers close by will create issues with the logistics of the residents of the Haven Housing Services (HHS).

This takes me to another disturbing point relating to building numerous unit dwellings at 49 Stewart Drive which is the lack of consideration of how narrow the Stewart Drive and nearby streets are. At present it is already challenging to safely share the two-way streets with other cars due to parked cars, local children walking to/from school, mothers taking children to schools, local kindergarten traffic, and pedestrians. Building a 32 two-three bedroom unit dwelling will mean an increase in the number of vehicles to at least 32, which will dramatically increase the already high flow of the traffic and will create additional tension and risk hazards on the narrow streets. I believe that the Traffic Report submitted by the Developer does not deliver accurate information as
it focuses only on the entry of the property in question and does not take into consideration the entering and exiting of this estate. Stewart drive, Vaina Street, and Leigh Street are the only exits out of the area and they connect only to Shaws road, in close proximity to each other. As just stated, I am afraid the Traffic report does not reflect the reality I am facing every day when driving to work in the early hours.

I also would like to focus your attention on the potential emergency situations where fire trucks, ambulances, police vehicles, and council services tracks will have very limited and/or on some occasions non-existing access to the estate in question located right at the end of the no-through road due to the mentioned above heavy traffic issues. The Developer has proposed to allow for 47 car spaces. Together with my neighbors, we measured the width of the Stewart Drive which is 6.1m. With 2.5m wide cars parked on either side of the road, this will leave only 2.1m for emergency vehicles such as fire brigade trucks with are approx. 2.5m in width themselves, ambulances, and police to respond to any type of emergency without any hazards. The refuse trucks won't be able to enter as they are 2.5m wide. I honestly fear for my own safety and health as well as my community in this matter.

At present, the area in discussion is already high densely populated, and the grassland near the river is by default a potential fire hazard. Adding additional 32 units will overpopulate the area, which in turn will increase the fire risk, which, taking into consideration how narrow the streets are, will increase the difficulties in accessing the property by the fire tracks, and other emergency vehicles, which will put at risk the safety of not only residents of the HHS, but all living nearby families.

I would like to also mention the dramatic increase in noise and pollution levels in the area, which the addition of the 32 Unit dwelling will bring to my presently quiet neighborhood.

To summarise my objections, I strongly believe that the chosen location is not right for the proposed development as the proposed plans do not offer a safe and secure environment to the local community and high-density housing will take away our community character, as the proposed unit scheme does not meet our area standards of housing.
