Canterbury Council is considering the approval of a 93 place child care centre on the ground floor of the 68 apartment residential development (7 storey) at 570 New Canterbury Road (DA 138/2016).

Why should Hurlstone Park residents- STOP this DA

• Developers are using misleading marketing to advertise ground floor cafes, restaurants and providores as an improvement to community culture and lifestyle. Instead the DA is for a child care centre across all 7 retail spaces.
• Increased traffic congestion of 68 residences & 93 child care families using Garnet and Duntroon Streets as the entry & exit points- Monday - Fridays during peak hours along with the existing school traffic.
• Proposal breaches council's DCP regulation 5.3.5 as there are 3 other centres within 400 metres away from the proposed service who have sufficient capacity to meet demand.
• Plans breach the child care sector National Regulations 108(2) and 110. The nursery outdoor space should be 196 sq metres and only 140 sq m for the amount of children proposed.
• Demand quality care and high child care standards within our area for our children.
