We, the undersigned, wish to express our opposition to this development application, currently lodged with the Council of the City of Sydney, being approved.
Despite the majority of Erskineville residents, the SCC, and the LEC rejecting a similar development plan for a supermarket at 21 Erskineville Road in 2008, the same Developer has lodged this new application.
We believe that, while the proposed new supermarket is smaller than the rejected original, the plethora of negative issues surrounding the new development is substantially the same.
In response, yet again, we state that we do not want Erskineville Village destroyed - noise levels increased, traffic congestion increased, safety for our children and elderly on the streets dramatically decreased, and the business of our small shop keepers decimated – in short, our way of life completely changed by such an inappropriate development.
We therefore appeal to Clover Moore, Mayor of the City of Sydney, and her Councilors, to save Erskineville again, by rejecting this new application for a Supermarket at The Hive on Erskineville Road.
The scale of this response confirms the community is unified in opposing the development at The Hive. I am now preparing a formal submission for the City of Sydney Council that incorporates these concerns to ensure our formal objection is documented before the next planning meeting.

Erskineville is fine exactly how it is. We dont need another big chain store ruining the local vibe and making the traffic even worse than it already is.

this is honestly such a bad location for a store like that. the streets are too narrow and it will be a safety hazard for everyone walking near the school

The traffic around here is already a total nightmare. Why would they think adding a supermarket to that spot is a good idea?

Keep the small shops alive. Big supermarkets just kill off all the personality this area has.
