14 Bourke Street Adamstown NSW 2289

- This is already a very congested, narrow street with many access issues. Highly congested with resident parking in essentially what is a narrow, one lane street. It is not uncommon for the Newcastle council garbage truck to not be able to access the street due to cars parked on both sides and has to come back a day or 2 later to do
the job. This is largely due to multiple high density complexes which have been built recently in the area. I have previously highlighted this issue to council who did investigate and deemed it to be managed within the street by the residents.
- There are currently 2 residences on the property of the proposed development which will increase to 8 residences, a big increase in traffic in general.
- This proposed complex of 8 - 2 and 3 bedroom townhouses with parking for only 1 car per unit will only add to the inadequate road conditions. Also noted there are only 2 visitor parking spaces. This will no doubt contribute to the already existing traffic issues in the street. particularly in traffic directly
opposite my home / front door with the residents coming and going up and down the driveway.
- I have many concerns around how building supplies +++ and multiple semi trailer type trucks and building vehicles/equipment will access the street and how this will affect my access in and out of my own residence. I cannot really imagine how this is logistically possible without causing great inconvenience to the other residents surrounding this property, due to street closures etc .
- A 3 storey / 10 metre high structure built virtually right up to the front nature strip will be a very imposing structure - directly
across the road from my single storey residence which will likely block afternoon sun and also any view.
- I would like to see more information regarding how this will affect our sun/ shade please. This will likely affect any future plans for solar panels for my single storey villa .
- noted in the Architectural Plans for the proposed development, there are photos of the fabric of Bourke st which mostly displays photos of double storey residences. I noticed there wasn’t a photo of my residence which is directly across from the proposed development, which is a single level complex of 3 villas. There are many single storey residences in this street - certainly not all double storey residences as displayed in the plans.
