Ms Suzy Bechaye

 

Item 2 – Development Application 12/0721 Childcare centre at Lot B DP389004 & Lot A DP389004 (No. 168-170) Stafford Street, Penrith

 

Ms Bechaye, an affected person, spoke in opposition to the recommendation for the approval of the development application. Ms Bechaye presented to Councillors documents showing car parking and traffic diagrams with respect to the subject development. Ms Bechaye raised concerns with respect to accumulated traffic, insufficient car parking spaces and toilets, the provision of safe drop-off and collection periods, noise accumulation given that there is also another child care centre in the vicinity of the proposed development and the possible non-compliance with sun-safety regulations of the child care centre’s operations with regards to outdoor play. Ms Bechaye also stated that she does not believe that the proposal is required in the area.

 

Mr Glen Harris

 

Item 4 – Development Application 13/0310 Proposed Community facility 90 Place Child Care Centre and Hall (No. 13-40) Bangalla Parade, Glenmore Park

 

Mr Harris, a concerned resident, spoke in support for the recommendation for the refusal of the proposed development application. Mr Harris stated that he was happy with the proposed recommendation and indicated two further issues for the Council to consider. These issues included the traffic flow issues arising from the median strip that does not allow right turns into Bangalla Parade and issues with respect to the management of over flow parking in the vicinity of the development application given that there is no parking in Bradley Street.

 

Ms Jessie Richter

 

Item 4 – Development Application 13/0310 Proposed Community facility 90 Place Child Care Centre and Hall (No. 13-40) Bangalla Parade, Glenmore Park                

 

Ms Richter, an affected person, spoke in support for the recommendation for the refusal of the proposed development application. Ms Richter raised concerns about the child and teacher ratios, car parking availability, noise pollution and the increased high traffic volume and risks relating to safe traffic movement. Ms Richter indicated that the proponents proposed solutions to some of the issues are not realistic and by practice these issues cannot be remedied. Drop-off turnaround time is also an issue with respect to car parking and traffic flow. Ms Richter believed that the location of the proposed development is not suitable and not fitting with the surrounding environment.

 

 

 

 

Ms Danielle Sultana

 

Item 4 – Development Application 13/0310 Proposed Community facility 90 Place Child Care Centre and Hall (No. 13-40) Bangalla Parade, Glenmore Park 

 

Ms Sultana, an affected person, spoke in support for the recommendation for the refusal of the proposed development application. Ms Sultana indicated that the noise pollution that will be created by the proposed development will affect the lifestyle of the neighbouring residents. She believes that the acoustic report is not sufficient and does not effectively respond to the realities involved with dropping-off and picking-up children. She also expressed her concerns about pedestrian safety with the increased traffic flow that will arise from the proposed development. Ms Sultana believed that the proposed child care centre is in the wrong location.

 

Mr Geoff Brown

 

Item 6 – Draft Structure Plan for the Broader Western Sydney Employment Area – Draft Submission

 

Mr Brown,  an affected person, spoke in opposition to the recommendation. Mr Brown highlighted issues relating to the negative impacts that the Broader Western Sydney Employment Area may have on the environment. He raised issues relating to the impacts on wildlife and raised concerns relating to the ecological impact that development may have on the surrounding environment.

 

216  RESOLVED on the MOTION of Councillor Michelle Tormey seconded Councillor Maurice Girotto that an extension of time be granted to enable the speaker to complete his address, the time being 8:18pm.

 

Mr Brown concluded by expressing other issues relating to the effects of increased traffic flow in the area and the potential loss of rural lands and the rural and heritage characteristics of the surrounding environment.
