RE: DA reference number 11694/2022
To whom it may concern,
We have lived at 8 - 10 Herries St for over 53 years. We have seen our quiet, safe street turn into a busy, loud and sometimes unsafe place to live over the many developments that have taken place in the last 20 - 30 years.
There have been many instances of altercations between some residents of nearby unit complexes around our house and further strain to the parking infrastructure will certainly compound this issue.
The coming and going of multiple cars during the proposed drop off and pick up times will cause all sorts of traffic problems and congestion. Leaving the area can already be quite difficult, especially when turning on to Mulgrave Road from either O'Hara St or Kelly St during peak times.
The proposed number of children that the Daycare Centre will cater for means that at least 15 - 20 staff members will need to park their cars too. Looking at the proposed plans, there is only 18 carparks for the Daycare Centre being proposed... Is this just for staff or are they expected to park on our street that is already at capacity?
We are opposed to this development, especially due to the added traffic and parking issues it will cause on Herries Street. The proposed driveway is directly opposite our driveway and due to the abovementioned issues, this will cause us unnecessary added stress.
Regards,
Tom and Helen Puccini
