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
