Formal Objection to Proposed Development Application

I wish to formally object to the proposed development application based on the following
grounds:

1. Zoning Intention Ignored

   •    The land was purchased and zoned for future cemetery use.
   •    The proposed development disregards this long-standing community expectation.

2. Density Completely Out of Scale

   •    The proposal is much denser than anything in the surrounding low-density
        neighbourhood.
   •    It exceeds even medium-density standards and would set a concerning precedent for
        Cooroy and other hinterland towns.

3. Traffic and Safety Risks

   •    Dianella Court was designed for only 28 homes.
   •    It cannot safely handle the major increase in traffic, parking and turning movements
        the development would generate.

4. Poor Access to Essential Services

   •    The site is too far from Cooroy’s shops, transport and community facilities.
   •    Higher-density housing should be located closer to services to avoid transport burdens
        and social isolation.

5. Damage to Cooroy’s Character

   •    The development is incompatible with Cooroy’s village feel, low-rise character and
        sense of community.
   •    It would significantly erode the amenity enjoyed by existing residents.

6. Poor Social Planning

    •   Concentrating rental or social housing in one isolated location is poor planning
        practice.
   •    Social and affordable housing should be integrated across the community/fjOT?.
