LIFESTYLECHANGESAND PRIVACYCONCERNS:

The strain of living alongside a huge, site-covering, long, continuous 2 storey building will
force changes to the lifestyle and add major privacy concerns to those currently residing in
Val Crescent.

The general noise generated by 90 patients and up to 35 staff. Lift motors, air-conditioning
and the daily general hubbub will be confronting.

Neighbours on the Southern Border of this centre will have first and 2nd floor bedrooms
overlooking their backyards. There will be a sensitive-care, ground floor courtyard next to
their side fence. A sensitive-care terrace is proposed right beside our front fence as well as
2nd floor balconies overlooking the front yards of neighbouring established homes.

The increased pedestrian traffic on Val Cres. (A quiet, narrow back street with no footpaths)
will include visitors and staff walking inmates, as well as the current numbers of commuters
accessing the hospital. The increased vehicular traffic will see cars, vans, and even trucks
going back and forth looking for parking places and greatly increasing the accident risk and
mayhem in this "no- thoroughfare"    cul-de-sac.




There are no positives in placing one single aged-care facility on these 11 separate
allotments. It would be significant over population and will gift a rather bleak future to
those who currently Iivec here.

Resident since 2001.

Raymond KIRBY.
