The issue
Coming to Bonny View Drive - unless we act now!
Seniors serviced self-care housing - Bonny View Drive
“Up to 241 Serviced Self Care Housing Units/Independent Living Units of 1 storey only on part Lot 4 DP 844371 and part Lot 1 DP 1018270, Bonny View Drive (corner of Ocean Drive), Bonny Hills.
The proposed development also consists of ancillary facilities such as community building, pool, gym, bowling green, tennis court, landscaped open space areas and paths, men’s shed, and caravan parking.
Dwelling configurations will include two and three bedroom units with car parking, and some with additional studies. The development is proposed in ten stages. Overall, the development will occupy 21 hectares of a larger lot (118 hectares).”
This will be in the land on the corner of Bonny View Drive and Ocean Drive opposite the proposed school or aged care facility. The entrance will be in Bonny View Drive near the school bus turning circle. The traffic count (based on data from 2017 and 2021 during Covid) indicates approximately an additional 1,000 vehicular movements per day once the development is complete. In addition, there will be a significant increase in traffic during the construction phase.
The proposed development has multiple failings:
Environmentally it is on flood prone land which is the habitat of koalas, echidnas, kangaroos, wallabies as well as many species of birds and frogs.
The existing public infrastructure of water supply, electricity supply, sewerage treatment and the road network are currently overloaded by the existing population and will not cope with proposed developments currently approved let alone a further 241 dwellings.
Medical services in the area are already at capacity and will not be able to cope with the health needs of potentially several hundred older residents who will live in the proposed development.
An ecological assessment was done by one person over a six-hour period during daylight hours with only 3 sites looked at, all of which appear to be outside of Stage One.
Both the traffic impact and ecological assessments are inadequate and if this development goes ahead, it will have a negative impact upon many aspects of our environment, amenity and locality, particularly as an industrial area has been approved for the corner of Ocean Drive and the Ghost Road.
