Formal Objection to Proposed Development Application

I formally object to the proposed development for the following reasons:

   1. Zoning and Land Use
      The land was purchased and zoned for cemetery use, reflecting a clear long-term
      intent. The community expects the land to remain in line with this purpose, and any
      deviation undermines this expectation.
   2. Incompatibility with Surrounding Area
      The site adjoins low-density residential land. The proposal is inconsistent with both
      the zoning and the prevailing built form in the area. Medium-density housing is not
      supported under the Cooroy Town Plan.
   3. Excessive Scale and Density
      The proposed development is grossly oversized for the area. It is out of proportion
      with the surrounding neighbourhood and incompatible with the existing low-density
      character of Cooroy.
   4. Traffic and Access Issues
      Dianella Court is a residential street designed for only 28 homes. It is not equipped to
      handle the increased traffic and access demands of the proposed development,
      creating serious safety and congestion concerns.
   5. Isolation from Essential Services
      The site is too far from Cooroy’s core services and transport links. Concentrating
      housing in this isolated location creates significant accessibility issues and contradicts
      principles of sound urban planning.
   6. Impact on Local Character and Community
      This development would erode Cooroy’s established village character and quality of
      life for current residents. It is incompatible with the community’s long-standing
      values and lifestyle.
   7. Poor Social Planning
      Concentrated rental or social housing is poor planning practice. Affordable housing
      should be integrated throughout the community, with access to essential services—
      this proposal does not meet that standard.
   8. Adverse Amenity Impacts
      The development will impose significant negative impacts on the amenity of existing
      residents due to its scale, density, and location.

For the reasons stated, I request that the development application be refused.
