By how many machines does the club want to increase its number? Why?
The Wombarra Bowling Club plays a key role in supporting Northern Suburbs Rugby League Club - both juniors and seniors, helping us fund important gear and programs that support local grass roots footy. They give us access to a great family-friendly space where we can hold meetings, celebrate milestones, and bring the community together for our annual presentation days. We’re in favour of the proposed boundary change, as it would improve the venue’s capacity for hosting events—something that would benefit both our club and the wider community.
The Wombarra Bowling Club is a major sponsor of Scarborough Boardriders providing valuable funds for us to invest in equipment and development of surfing in our area. They also provide us with a wonderful family friendly venue to host our meetings, special events and our annual presentation day. We support the boundary adjustment in this application to further enhance the facilities available for special events and functions that will benefit our sporting club and the community.
I have previously commented on this potential business development. The application states that only "deliveries " will take place. If this is correct, where will all the alcohol products go? I can only assume that pickups will happen resulting in further vehicular traffic congestion within this already choaked up area.
I am very concerned about this application and the implications it would have for the residents on this street. This is a very busy street as it is due to it being close to the M2 bus stop and nearby schools. There are usually cars parked on both sides of the road already, so having a business selling wholesale would only increase congestion. It is not a business that is suited to a residential area
I do not feel this is a suitable property for a business where the possibility of a large number of big vehicles traversing through the already very congested local streets and roads.
I am writing to express my strong concern regarding this application for liquor delivery business at 14, Moorilla Ave, Carlingford, NSW 2118. This is a quiet residential street not suited for this type of business. This will have a negative impact on the quality of life in the neighborhood. This will have an impact on local traffic, currently the road is congested with people parking here to catch city buses. The road itself is narrow and this will make the situation even worse by having more traffic, noise and disruption. I believe this type of business better suited in warehouse premises not in residential area. I recommend that this application be rejected.
I am writing to express my strong concern regarding the application for a new packaged liquor delivery-only licence at 14 Moorilla Avenue, Carlingford NSW 2118.
I am particularly concerned that establishing a liquor delivery business at 14 Moorilla Avenue will have a negative impact on the quality of life for local residents, for the following reasons:
1. Unsuitable for a Quiet Residential Area
Moorilla Avenue is a peaceful, residential street, and it seems highly unusual to establish a commercial liquor business in such an area. The introduction of a business of this nature is inconsistent with the suburban character of our neighbourhood and raises concerns about its long-term effects on the community’s atmosphere.
2. Increased Traffic and Congestion
On weekdays, Moorilla Avenue, along with Coral Tree Drive, Pepperina Place, and Oakes Road, is already overwhelmed by cars parked by commuters using the M2 Oakes Road bus stop. This parking congestion has effectively reduced Moorilla Avenue to a single lane of traffic, making it difficult for residents to navigate and diminishing the overall safety and liveability of the street.
The addition of commercial deliveries to and from 14 Moorilla Avenue will further exacerbate this issue, increasing traffic congestion, noise, and disruption. Delivery vehicles and increased traffic flow are not suited to a residential street already under pressure from commuter parking.
3. Impact on Residential Amenity
The potential for increased noise, delivery activity, and general commercial disruption will significantly degrade the amenity of the area. This will affect not just the immediate neighbours of 14 Moorilla Avenue but also the wider community living along the surrounding streets.
While I respect the applicant’s right to conduct business, I firmly believe that approving this application will adversely affect the quality of life for residents in Moorilla Avenue and the surrounding neighbourhood. A commercial liquor delivery business belongs in a commercial zone, not in the middle of a quiet residential suburb.
I recommend that this application be rejected.
I am very concerned that a liquor delivery business should not be allowed in Moorilla Avenue, Carlingford. This is a residential area where the streets are filled each day with cars owned by commuters who park here and walk to the M2 bus stop on Oakes Road to catch the bus to the city or Macquarie Park. As a result of this, only one lane of traffic can proceed up the street. A liquor delivery business would attract extra traffic and trucks and could be a safety issue for residents. I would be happy if this application was rejected.
I preface the comments below by congratulating the new owners of Spur on how the reinvigorated cafe has enhanced the community .
However there is a concern that if if the licence is granted this would almost certainly lead to ;
1.An increase in parking of patrons vehicles to the detriment of neighbours relating to noise and loss of parking to those who have no off street parking.
2.It would potentially add to the already substantial problems with alcohol consumption in the Hamilton area particularly that which already filters down from licensed establishments in Beaumont Street to this area.
3. If the licence were to lead to an increase in operating hours the effect on the local area would be compounded. The footpath outside the cafe at present during operating hours is overly crowded with patrons (both dining in and takeaway)and alcohol consumption in that area would increase a physical impediment to locals walking with children /dogs etc on the public thoroughfare.
4.The noise factor is also a concern. This is a new facility moving in to an established area . At present it is a manageable concern re traffic/parking but that in all likelihood shall not be manageable with alcohol thrown into the equation and perhaps an increase in operating hours.
5.Should the licence be granted it is submitted that the current operating hours not be extended.
I live across from the premises who are applying for the onsite liquor license.
Currently the cafe is open from around 6am to 3.30pm Weekend mornings are extremely noisy with large crowds from around 7.30 to around12PM which increases traffic flow in Samdon Street and far less parking available in front of my townhouse.
My concerns are if the opening hours will be extended to allow for evening meals and associated serving of alcohol.
If opening hours are to remain as is will there be a dedicated time from which alcohol can be served.
Hamilton is already renowned for anti social behavior and this being a residential area I am concerned the negative behavior will spread to our street.
I support this application. Grifter have been a fantastic addition to Marrickville for the past several years.
This expansion will allow them to provide a greater al fresco experience for their regular punters as well as the visitors to the area enjoying the Inner West Ale Trail.
Grifter, and their contemporaries, have contributed to the vibrancy of Marrickville, providing direct employment as well as indirect employment in the form of suppliers and other businesses that benefit from the foot traffic generated.
Within a few minutes walk from the caravan park visitors to Bonny Hills can access the surf club, the local hotel and a licenced cafe. Also a bottle shop and the 'Top Shop' which sells alcohol.
Another bar is simply unnecessary and in my opinion, potentially unsafe in a family focussed caravan park.
This should be approved. Balmain nightlife is sadly lacking. So any attempt at improving this situation should be heartily welcomed.
I don’t understand why this would be required when we already have licensed cafe, Bonny Hills Surf Club, and Bonny Hills Tavern. In addition we also have the Top Shop along with the tavern which have Bottle
Shops. This proposal is in direct opposition to existing and under utilised premises.
The Surf club relies on the holiday makers to generate much needed funds through their Bar @Beaches.
Most campers, Glampers
And caravaners all have their own supply of alcohol and refrigeration.
This "pop up" bar proposal is madness. A family oriented caravan & holiday park full of young kids! The local "pub" is 10 minutes easy stroll & the Surf Club 5 minutes. Caravans & holiday cabins have refrigerators! There is absolutely no need for this facility! Let common sense prevail please🙏
This site has been neglected for some time to the detriment of local businesses and the area in general. We are aware of longer term plans for this former hotel site which are likely to involve provision and consumption of alcohol. This Pop Up provides a great opportunity to pilot reinvigoration of a licensed premise. It will provide great outdoor enjoyment this summer and provide valuable insight into development of a more permanent use. regards Jan
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.
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.
D Coombes.
So good to see 😀 This area definitely needs more of these small venues, hopefully a little bit of live music on the weekends as well
I believe the couple who have submitted this application for a liquor licence for a small bar will do an excellent job in running a small bar at their premises at Unit 2, 67 Beaumont Streei Hamilton.
The are both very responsible people; conscious of not disturbing their neighbours with noise from loud music or unruly behaviour from their clients.
Over the past two or three years running Veera Wines, that ey have proved to be excellent hosts.
Warm and welcoming.
Highly knowledgeable about the wines they sell
They have even bought a ramp to enable people who use wheelchairs to enter and their premise.
They have mine and all those others who signed their petitions support in this application to open a small bar in Beaumont Street Islington.
There is limited public parking around this venue. It is also a mixed commercial residential area. I live next door to 373 High Street and am concerned about potentially significant noise and traffic impacts.
We support this application, Greenwich has been lacking something like this for a long time, it will be good for the community
I agree with the comment from Dan, how are we supposed to approve a transfer of license for a business that has not operated here in recently? I have no clue of the operating hours or what the business is proposed. We need a lot more information on this proposal, without that I oppose it.
There has not been recently been a licensed business operating at this address recently. The last cafe closed daily at 3pm.
So from this transfer application, we have no idea of the opening hours of this transfer of liquor license from an old licensee.
For transparency, it would be better to fully disclose exactly what the trading hours of this business are intended to be. In recently years, far more home have been built in the area which used to be mostly industrial. How can approval be given for a business that has not operated in the area for years and the resident have no idea of the operating hours applied for?
With no idea what opening hours are being applied for, or even the nature of the business - I oppose this application.
