Visitor Car Parking

It is only natural that residents will have friends and family visit.

Given that current street parking does not meet community need, the complex needs to provide
adequate visitor parking in addition to adequate service provider parking.

Open Space

This complex does not provide open areas where residents may relax outside or where resident
children can play

There is a mix of single and dual bedroom units to meet the need of an guestimated minimum of 30
people. They cannot be expected to stay inside all the time.

Bicycle Racks
The design provides for 20 bikes. There are no bike paths in Cooroy. Unless its legal to ride on
footpaths it is really dangerous to ride a bicycle in and around Cooroy given the prevailing traffic

Entry and Exit access

a) The single entry and exit point is located in a high traffic location with limit view.

b) How will the pending changes to traffic flow at the junction of Elm and Myall streets impact the
flow of traffic into Maple Street and the ability of residents, support workers, delivery trucks, trades
and maintenance, and visitors to exit safely from the single exit-entry point.

Waste Management
Can the garbage trucks enter, manoeuvre and exit the site easily?

Summary
Even with the ever increasing population Cooroy has maintained a country town ambience. The
gable roof design of this development fits with surrounding architecture.

Traffic congestion is an issue that will plague residents.

On any given day finding a car park in Cooroy is like winning the lotto. On weekdays parking in
Maple Street Medical Precinct fills up around 7am and rarely clears before 4.30pm It is imperative
that all parking requirements of residents, service providers and visitors be met onsite.I feel this
complex has too many units and too little onsite parking and green space to meet the needs of
the residents and the community.

Increased population has already rendered existing infrastructure inadequate.

The proliferation of unit developments in the township verifies anticipated continuing increases in
population with an inherent demand for medical services.

Therefore it is reasonable to expect that residential developments in this area will provide onsite
parking to meet the needs of all its residents, support workers and visitors.
