Submission of Objection - MCU25/0118
64 Lake Macdonald Drive, Cooroy - Affordable Housing Proposal
I object to Development Application MCU25/0118 for 25 Affordable Rental Premises at 64
Lake Macdonald Drive, Cooroy, on the following grounds:
1. Inappropriate for the Community Facilities Zone
The land is zoned Community Facilities, which is not intended for dense residential
development. Although the recent planning scheme amendment allows Council
to consider affordable housing proposals in this zone, it does not override zone intent or the
need to protect neighbourhood character.
2. Excessive Density and Overdevelopment
The proposal introduces a multi-residential built form that is inconsistent with the
surrounding low-rise, low-density area. Bulk, scale, setbacks, and built form do not align
with the Cooroy Local Plan Area outcomes. ____

3. Traffic and Access Concerns Lake Macdonald Drive is already constrained. The proposal will generate additional traffic movements, worsen congestion, and increase safety risks due to limited access and sight distances. 4. Inadequate On-site Parking The development provides insufficient parking for residents and visitors, resulting in likely overflow onto the narrow road and surrounding streets. 5. Amenity Impacts The tightly packed units and reduced landscaping will negatively affect residential amenity and the established semi-rural character. 6. Better Sites Exist in Cooroy Affordable housing is important, but it must be delivered in suitable locations with access to services, adequate infrastructure, and zone alignment. Declaration I make this submission during the public notification period in accordance with the Planning Act 2016 (Old). Signature: Date:
