RE Child Care Center 168 Camden Rd Douglas Park.
As residents living in cross proximity to this proposed child care center we are concerned about the traffic situation . On viewing the plans for the underground car park I have noticed that the parking is very tight with not a lot of room to manoeuvre the volume of cars that will be coming and going morning and afternoon. With many families having larger cars I feel they will try the underground parking once and then opt to parking on the street which will then impact on our view and safety when we are trying to get out of our driveway whilst we are coming and going. Also with 28 staff members working there most of the 35 car parks with be taken by them and if not they will be parked on the street also.
Not to mention no footpaths or no safe way to cross from one side of the road to the other ,traffic congestion when a train is at the station and an increased traffic flow on an already busy road with workers using Camden Rd as a short cut through to Wollongong and not adhering to the speed limit, this is an accident waiting to happen.
looking at the plans for the actual center, the design of the building doesn't fit with the surrounding designs and feel it will be an eyesore
All recent comments on applications from Wollondilly Shire Council, NSW
The acoustic report specifies two relatively small outdoor play areas together with various scenarios with a different number and age range of children restricted to these outdoor areas. The acoustic report, as a direct result of these artificial scenarios then predicts noise levels will achieve compliance with the relevant acoustic design requirements of Wollondilly Shire Council, NSW EPA, NSW DPE, SEPP and the AAAC.
Any reasonable person can see that an active childcare centre will use (not unreasonably) the area outside the acoustic report's designated outdoor play areas, and that it will be unlikely and perhaps unreasonable for staff to ensure the age and number of children, let alone control the noise they make to comply with the acoustic report scenarios.
The facts are clear that the centre is proposed close to neighbouring properties in an area that is relatively quiet compared to most other suburban residential areas. The noise from the children will therefore be an unreasonable impost on neighbours.
Further acoustic controls that will limit the disturbance without limiting the number, age or location of children in the outdoor area is required before this DA is considered for approval. Therefore, in its current form, I object to this DA.
Wollondilly council
Re property camden road douglas park 2569 for re development to a 132place childcare facility.
I reject this development stating the following conditions
It is too close to the railway line as there will be a backup of traffic comming over the railway line as does happen with the pre school opposite the shop. Garbage morning you have to sit and wait until he collects all the bins and you cannot pass the traffic has been backed to the railway line. There are no footpaths on the side for wet weather, there would have to be a pedestrian crossing. Where do the 132 children go when they have an emergency , emergency drills are performed every 3 months. Not only will people from here maybe but wilton and menangle and menangle park will use this facility also with the cemetry on the other side of the gorge with 6 to 8 funerals a day makes this a very dangerous road come have a look day in day out used as a speed strip. As residents we have a right to object and be listened to being that our privacy is being taken away.It has to be respected that we are a small rural town and have had an invasion of the mines the cemetry and now another pre school that is not needed. Go to morton park road and build as big as u want pre school makes more sence Young families re locating to that area.
This is a wonderful development for our community. The provision of employment opportunities, entertainment, and a venue where individuals from both the local area and beyond can enjoy a delightful meal and a captivating show is truly commendable. My heartfelt congratulations to all those involved in making this possible. Well done!
no problem to us , Community urgently needs more accommodation options
My husband & I are very concerned about the plan to erect a communications tower on the hill of the property which adjoins ours. The area around Carrolls Rd is a lovely, rural, scenic & peaceful area in which to live & the erection of a tower which is very high, ugly & potentially the cause of dangerous radiation, hazardous to the health of the surrounding neighbours but will be especially horrid for one neighbour in 85 whose home is very close to the site.
When we moved here 11yrs ago the Council rules were very strict on what could be done or erected on ones property. What happened? We object strongly to this plan.
On the DA, they said the telecom tower 400 meters away from Carrolls Rd, but It only 30--40 meters away from my house. such a awful thing that every time we walk out the house and the tower just in front of us, it will certainly increase my husband's depression . ( Who is responsible for that? owner of 45 Carrolls Rd? Stilmark Holdings Pty Ltd? or Wollondilly Shire Council?
The tower surround a quite few Houses , it should choose a better location on a hill with no property surrounding.
Hi,
We are living on 85 Carrolls Rd, Menangle NSW 2568 . 45 Carrolls Rd , Menangle NSW 2568 is our next door neighbor and have common fence with us. we strongly againest this DA plan as this plan will
1. give very strong rediation to surround neighbors and hazardous to our health
2. Destroy the surrounding environment and historical landscape heritage
3. Block and destroy my property views
4. Rediation and destroy the surrounding landscape will cause the decrease of our and neighbor's properties value
We are the owners and residents of 99 Ambarvale Drive here in Orangeville.
The owners of 15 Ambervale Drive Orangeville also own Macri Motors and Plant Hire located in Campbelltown and Austral. This company hires out and maintains heavy machinery, trucks and trailers for heavy haulage.
We are very concerned that this large shed will also be used for the transport and servicing of Macri's heavy machinery. This will therefore adversely impact on the already poor condition of our narrow roads and furthermore also be an increase noise pollution emitted from all this heavy machinery.
I have no issues and would approve this application
The application At 25 Alkoomie Place for a new Shed in my opinion will not interfere with any neighbouring property and there are no homes with a 1klm radius so I have no issues with the application for a shed and its proposed use .
Please no more granny flats without parking.
We already have 6 granny flats attached to dwellings, 5 without any parking spots available on Stafford st.
Most granny flats own more than one car, hence why the street is so full already when Stafford st still have 4-5 vacant blocks yet to build.
Stafford street is at capacity already with vehicles almost blocking the passage and causing the street to flow in one direction only.
The attached dwellings need to provide off street parking for the tenants to prevent further unnecessary congestion. The congestion causes issues in peak times when everyone leaves at the same time. The current amount of houses with attached secondary dwellings have not provided adequate off street parking whatsoever.
The garbage trucks that service the street also have great difficulty retrieving waste bins due to the amount of vehicles parked on the street.
Australia post also has issues with the street congestion and has in the past refused to deliver on the street.
Heavy trucks have destroyed the road (Mount Hercules Rd) and it is a one way in option. I would support a 40km per hour speed limit for heavy trucks - even though it would mean driving behind them. This is not just for this development which I am otherwise happy to support.
Hi,
I live on Marion Street, and I do not approval of this DA, the roads are not ready nor the infrastructure to cope with more families living in the area. Already we see more traffic around thirlmere than there has ever been before. Child cares in the areas are already in full capcity and not to mention the locate school will be the same. Wollondilly is jaming so many houses in the one area and thirlmere is no longer the sleepy town it used to be.
This new development will only cause more issues for the current residents than good.
Please take the above into consideration when reviewing this application.
It's a bit late now. Wish I hd seen the original DA then I would have commented as this is the biggest eye sore in Picton how did this get approved ? What were they thinking ?
A wonderful opportunity to build a building to fit the historic town to create a feeling that would encourage people to stop and visit Picton.
Medical centres don't have to be ugly and cold.
I don't think I could even feel safe seeing a Dr there, cheap building, cheap medicine no care that's what I see.
There is something dreadfully wrong in allowing this pristine bush property to be ruined - a dam filled in and goodness only knows how many thousands upon thousands of tonnes of 'fill' being dumped. Have the bills of lading been checked to ensure the fill is pollution free? There will undoubtedly be damage caused to the wildlife that proliferates upon the property. The noise we have endured for months on end has shattered the neighborhood as B- Doubles thunder up and down - the risk to children riding bikes and dog walkers has increased greatly. In all there appears to be no consideration to the effect upon the environment, native wildlife and the residents who chose to live in the countryside and this stunning area.
Why this person doing all this filling and dumping in the prestige of our suburb Picton?
We don't need it . What i can't understand how they let him go that far.
He knows all the way not suppose to do it. I been nearly every day hear all the noise coming from his machines, plus all them trucks loading with dumping unbelievable.
So the people who was involve into this matter, and let him start should, stop him, not to continue, bring it back to normal.
As the majority of local residents didn’t want McDonald’s in Picton in the first place, and our objections and concerns were ignored or dismissed- we certainly object to it being open any more hours than it is now.
Picton didn't need a McDonalds in the first instance and to this day the carparks behind the bowling club and thru the park is scattered with McDonald rubbish and every road leaving Picton.
If council hadn't approved this in the first place local businesses could have done so much better and it has done nothing to help reduce the growing obesity problem. Fast food chains have their place and it is generally on a highway for travellers.
There would no benefit to the community
It would only attract people with nothing to do and increase the amount of vandalism and with no police in Picton to monitor or protect our community
