I am writing to raise concerns regarding the development at 80 Marshall street.
My concerns are in regards to:
Size of future subdivided lots
- I have concerns that the lot sizes will be too small and too many houses will be allowed which will ruin the quiet calm feel of the street and area.
- Residents on the southern side of Wimbledon grove currently look out over a beautiful quiet valley often visited by wallabies, native birds and other wildlife.
- increased traffic
The development will bring additional traffic to Peatties road and the traffic light intersection.
This poses a great risk to children that walk to and from the local primary public school at Garden Suburb.
There is dense bush area on both sides of the road and afternoon sun blinding drivers as they drive from Peatties road and either into Marshall street or into wimbledon grove. This combination means that it is difficult for pedestrians to walk on the side of the road, and difficult for drivers to see pedestrians.
Please ensure that a kerb and gutter is installed along Marshall street, Peatties road and Wimbledon grove to protect pedestrians.
- Speed limit
With the increased traffic, the lack of a kerb and risk to pedestrians, the speed limit should be reduced to 30 km/h.
- dumping rubbish
There is often rubbish dumped in the bush area on Peatties road. How will council ensure that rubbish is not dumped at the end of the proposed new section of Marshall street?
