24 Second Av, Kingswood NSW 2747

The application really isn’t very clear.

Will this address be for a bar or restaurant?
We have enough drunks and drug addicts hanging about in the area.

What about the homeowners living next door ?
Every surrounding street has more traffic than they can handle. Will this application add to that.

So MacKillop Baseball Club Inc have applied to sell alcohol from the new facility building. As a local, mother and grandmother, I have several issues with this being approved.
1. Most people that attend these games drive to the location and this is encouraging people to drive with alcohol in their systems.
2. The proposed location hosts not only baseball but also cricket and football games and becomes quite congested with traffic and tempers flare (often)…adding alcohol to the equation would no doubt exasperate these situations. This could also lead to alcohol related assaults, motor vehicle accidents, pedestrian injuries.
3. This location is adjacent to the newly refurbished and expanded children's playground and as mentioned there are multiple sports happening at these grounds and a lot of children in the vicinity and walking through carparks to access the playground and local shops. Allowing alcohol consumption increases vulnerability to alcohol-related harm. As responsible adults we should not be exposing children to alcohol at public parks/playgrounds. They should be 'Alcohol-Free Zones'.
4. Concerns in relation to undue disturbance and rowdiness to the neighbouring residences across the road.
5. I feel the overall social impact of granting the licence will be detrimental to the well-being of the local or broader community. Kingswood already has demographic traits that are linked to relatively higher vulnerability to alcohol and drug -related social problems and crime.
I hope Council will take these considerations and the communities concerns and deny this application.
