The closer a building is to the beach the less storeys should be allowed for obvious reasons. Very tall buildings kill the joy of everyone else behind them. They get less sun. These tall buildings create horrible wind tunnels. The ‘affordable ‘ housing ruse will be used time and again now to make money.
Waverley has not got in place solid rulings to make this actually functional. Do NOT allow extra height or increased FSR based on this flimsy evidence. Let’s be clear. This is designed simply to make money and therefore should be subject to all the strict requirements our planning laws currently have.

I agree totally with Hyacinth and add my voice to hers. What was once light filled and happy warm places enjoyed by all become dark places. If you don’t do it for us, the residents, then think of the slow unrelenting killing of this atmosphere for travellers. It ruins what we have, it’s as simple as that.
Please listen to your residents and please get strong and robust laws preventing this happening as I am aware how deep the pockets are of the builders etc who want to profit from these constructions and once it is ruined we will never get it back.
I agree with previous comments. Let’s not make this a mini surfers paradise and line developers pockets. Limit the height to 3 storeys when so close to the beach. These apartments will in no way be affordable, they are prime real estate. Keep Bondi accessible and enjoyable for all!
How can the council approve a 5 storey building when we are in a R3 zoning area !!
This is bondi beach not bondi junction !!
Other developments have been denied on height grounds and were not as high as this so this should never get through !!
