Re: response to notice of development proposal 18 Gosford Road WYEE NSW 2259 I live on Jabbarup Rd Wyee, the cul-de-sac side that backs on to the green space land parcel in front of the property of 18 Gosford Road Wyee.
1. I would like to request that the new zoning development at 18 Gosford Road not impact on the cul-de-sac layout and status of Jabbarup Rd. I am requesting that the Jabbarup cul-de-sac be maintained as is. I do NOT want Jabbarup cul-de-sac road changed to a through-road and I do NOT want any new roads attached to the cu-de-sac.
My family and I have lived on Jabbarup for over 20 years and purchased our home INTENTIONALLY for its cul-de-sac and surrounding green space status. Like many of our neighbours, we brought our children up with an increased sense of safety and connectedness to friends and community that was promoted from the cul-de-sac environment, we continue to enjoy these experiences ourselves, along with our grandchildren today. Cul-de-sac’s are evidenced as offering neighbourhoods a range of benefits including: - significantly reduced traffic flow - reduced stranger presence - increased safety for children at play - increased sense of community connection within the street - increased neighbour support and interaction - lower crime and vandalism rates - reduced noise from throughput traffic - quieter and more peaceful street setting - reduced pollution and dust from throughput traffic - increased home values. As mentioned I would like the cul-de-sac status including layout and green space of Jabbarup Rd maintained, regardless of proposed development outcomes.
2. The letter giving notice of the rezoning application notes “Low Density” however when seeking further information online under planning proposal FAQs zoning is indicated as “Low to Medium Density”. Low density protects a locality’s single dwelling character and landscape setting however Low to Medium Density allows more than single houses, with same lot dual occupancy and multiple dwellings such as apartments and townhouses. The two density definitions are very different!! As such, the rezoning notice letter is misleading, potentially giving locals a false sense of security or understanding of the development being proposed. This may in turn reduce the number of people who respond to the proposal…
3. The proposal to allow 450 square meter residential lots is not consistent with the adjoining properties which average approx 800 to 2200 square metres per residential lot.
