Multi-Trades and Digital Technology Hub at TAFE Meadowbank

I am objecting to the removal of 113 from the Tafe to make room for a car park. We have just had the hottest summer on record we need to keep as many mature trees as possible. The recent bush fires have made habitat for our native birds ever more important that is what the 113trees can help with. We must look at the bigger picture removing these trees will have a real negative knock on effect with our Ryde community.

I raise this Objection to the Original plans to the Technology Builds changes to reduce the number of underground car parking spaces. The Original plans had NO impact on residents and made practical sense. The revised plans to build a Multi story car park opposite 34 See Street and the Italian Bilingual School.
I will only support on the conditions that changes are made:
1. the Lowest Floor of the Multi story Car park be below street level, so that the Upper level is only a single Story high.
2. the Up and Down Car Ramps are both located on the TAFE Building side and do not face the residents on See Street. (The V8 Cars will make too much noise going up and down the Ramps after 9pm at night)
3. the Building to set too close to the Boundary, this needs to be set back as far a the current Car Park is located and substantial trees and plant planted between the boundary and building the block the Building.
I refute the statement that this will have little impact on the Heritage of the area because of the other Buildings being built in the Area. Why add to the horrendous eyesore issue we have now with another eyesore. Also your Heritage Impact Assessment is Flawed and out of date, the Laurel's Nursing Home has not been in operation since 2003, so your data is 17 years out of date.

Submission to Multi-Trades and Digital Technology Hub at Tafe Meadowbank



Dear Jason Maslen


We oppose the building of a new multi storey car park at the place of the current staff car park opposite 34 See St and ibs primary school.


• It will completely destroy the street character of See Street between the intersections of Angas St and Constitution Rd where the oldest house in the area is a so called House of importance and heritage listed.

• The location is adjacent to the relocated Tafe child care centre and opposite of the ibs primary school, and the increased traffic can not meet safety requirements for the hundreds of students, young children and their parents there.

• There is also no Traffic Impact assessment done for the new proposed site.





We strongly suggest to stick to the original plan of building the required car parks below the new technology hub with entrance and exit at Rhodes Street
allowing easy access to underground parking



Alternatively



A more suitable location would be on the Western side of the Tafe campus along the rail tracks where ramps and multi storey car parks do not affect the residential street character.




Thank you for your consideration.

major residents affected
opposite proposed multi
story carpark.

The Original plans had minimal impact on residents and made practical sense. The revised plans to build a Multi story car park opposite 34 See Street and the Italian Bilingual School, Scout hall and daycare centre. There is a high level of pedestrian activity in the area

The proposal could be less detrimental with the following modifications:
1. the Lowest Floor of the Multi story Car park be below street level, so that the Upper level is only a single Story high.
2. the Up and Down Car Ramps are both located on the TAFE Building side and do not face the residents on See Street in order to reduce noise and light pollution.
3. the Building is set back further and substantial trees are planted to provide visual screening. This is important to preserve the character of the neighbourhood.

To whom it may concern
The design has no fire compliance , surveillance report and also does not address the neighboring substation . the design also have too many blind spots thus
creating areas for suspicious activity , its a heaven for homeless shelter in the public area , the large roof canopy does not address the local environment, bulk
and scale far exceed the context of the site , absent setbacks for blast proof material requirements for neighboring substation, also absent of setback shown
on the roof canopy create stress for neighbors across the road.
