Objection to Development Proposal

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

   1. Inappropriate Land Use: The land in question is currently zoned for Community
      Use, specifically designated for future cemetery purposes. The proposed development
      encroaches on this zoning, and there is insufficient land allocated for the cemetery’s
      future needs. There is no clear justification or evidence to support that this land is
      surplus to those requirements.
   2. Local Government's Role: It is the responsibility of local government to provide
      cemetery facilities, not housing developments. The proposal to use this land for
      residential purposes is outside the core functions of the Council and detracts from its
      obligation to meet community needs for burial space.
   3. Development Scale Incompatible with Neighbourhood: The scale of the proposed
      development is disproportionate to the existing character of the area. The quiet, low-
      density nature of the neighbourhood would be disrupted by this large-scale
      development, which is out of character for this location.
   4. Traffic and Safety Concerns: Dianella Court and its surrounding infrastructure are
      not designed to accommodate the increased traffic flow from additional housing.
      Moreover, the development site lacks adequate access to Lake Macdonald Drive,
      which is crucial for managing traffic and ensuring safety.
   5. Isolation from Essential Services: The site’s location is too remote from essential
      services, shops, and public transport. This will significantly disadvantage residents,
      making it difficult for them to access day-to-day services and amenities, further
      decreasing the area’s overall livability.
   6. Impact on Local Amenity: Introducing medium-density housing into this
      predominantly low-density area would drastically alter the area’s residential character.
      This would erode the local amenity, impacting both the environment and the lifestyle
      of current residents.
   7. Threat to Cooroy's Charm: The development runs counter to the vision of
      maintaining Cooroy’s village-style atmosphere. This proposal threatens the unique
      charm and identity of Cooroy by introducing a large, incompatible housing project
      that undermines its small-town character.

I urge the Council to reconsider this proposal and take into account the long-term
implications on community needs, local infrastructure, and the existing character of the area.
