PM Submission - Anthony Bernhagen - MCU25/0118

Location and Impact on Local Character

This development is not compatible with the existing character of the Cooroy community. It
conflicts with the aspects of the community that residents currently value and enjoy,
particularly Cooroy’s village feel and low-rise character. The proposal threatens to erode the
unique atmosphere that has made Cooroy a desirable place to live, replacing it with a form of
development that is more suited to urban environments.

Furthermore, the concentration of rental housing or social housing in a single development
should be avoided. Best practice planning encourages the integration of affordable housing
throughout communities, particularly in areas that are well-served by infrastructure and
public transport. Isolating this development in a location distant from services and amenities
will not only impact the future residents but also strain the social cohesion and balance of the
community.

The overall impact of the proposed development would be detrimental to the local character
and amenity of the area. The scale, density, and location would disrupt the peaceful, low-
density character of the neighbourhood, creating adverse effects on existing residents' quality
of life.

Conclusion

For the reasons outlined above, I respectfully request that the development application be
refused. The proposal is incompatible with the site’s zoning, the surrounding area, and the
broader plaiming objectives for Cooroy. It poses significant risks to local infrastructure,
character, and amenity.
