ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGES:

Building a gO-bed aged care facility across the road from a g2-bed Private Hospital will
increase the pressure on all levels of local infrastructure.

Parking: An additional 53 car parks will not cater for the patients, staff, friends, relatives,
visiting doctors, and health care providers, trades people, commercial Reps, and all
attending this proposed new centre on a daily basis. An added burden will be placed on the
inadequate street parking, already under stress trying to cope with the overflow from
limited hospital parking.

Waste: The large volume of sewerage and grey water output will place an additional strain
on the current decades old system channelled under the footpaths of Southern Val Crescent
residents.

The daily rubbish generated will be far greater than the 11 current and separate allotments
and will have to be collected on a more regular basis adding to the noise and stress levels
experienced by neighbours.

Outlook: The removal of all existing trees will be an aesthetic and environmental      loss in no
way compensated by the token planting of a few boutique replacements.

               This Pine tree breeds generation after generation of magpie chics.




The evergreen canopy is home and playground to a variety of birds, including noisy miners,
 blue faced honey eaters, crested pigeons, butcher birds, currawongs and others along with
 the ubiquitous possums, and even scrub turkeys. We find our current, leafy Northern
 outlook quite pleasant and would miss the relaxing bird songs and arboreal activity should
 the stands of trees on these blocks be cleared.
