Here’s our submission to the ACT government planning directorate on the proposed development of 99 units on the block at Martin St/Theodore St/Carruthers St.
REPRESENTATION CRA for DA 202543965 (PDF, 2 Mbyte)
We talked to many local residents and considered the other submissions we knew about to make this a more representative representation (!)
Our key issues are
1 Parking: not nearly enough car parking spaces
2 Use of public land along Martin Street (including the proposal to use public land for on street parking)
3 Pathways, active travel, and pedestrian safety (including internal pathways leading to road crossings)
4 Overshadowing: Shadow diagrams are missing (within the block and onto nearby properties)
and others, including the need for bicycle storage
