Re Talford Street Doncaster East 3109
Development of Talford Street to the current plan (DD08) would be totally inappropriate.
Talford Street is NOT a through Road. Running into Rupert Street at one end and Elvie at the other, the resultant traffic congestion from building 4 storey apartment blocks would be horrendous. Let alone the impact on property values,privacy and overshadowing.
When we built in 2002 we were told only one storey buildings could be built although this has been relaxed to two storey town houses now and that is OK. Please bring the plight of Talford Street to the attention of Council.
Thank you
Re Talford Street Doncaster East
Talford street is NOT a through road having Rupert Street at the east end and Rupert Street at the the west. The DD08 plan for this street will have horrendous implications for traffic flow in an area already with problems. Of course 4 storey developments have serious implications for property values, privacy and life style as well.
Could Talford Street be added to the area for review of zoning laws.
Thank you
I fully agree with Bruce Osborne. If the council wants Doncaster Road to be a high density area, so be it, but why do the adjacent areas north and south of Doncaster Road be affected. Talford Street is a nice and quiet area with a fair amount of retirees. Is the council driving us to aged care?
Time to change your vote . This council does nothing for the people, let’s talk about serpells primary , no parking , no gutters and no standing area, but the council has inspectors taking photos of number plates and sending fines in the mail. DDo8 just another money making scheme for the council.
Part 2 – tuckers road no gutters , king street no gutters , warrandtye road unsafe , and the list goes on. Where are they spending our money, rates 100 percent increase . Please explain mayor , you and Andrews lining your pockets. Is it true that the mayor and our local mp eat out with developers who a lining there pockets . If you don’t fight you lose.
It is very concerning after what I heard today about what happened in Mt. Waverley on the excavation of land on the corner of Highbury and Huntingdale with the collapse of part of the siding due to recent rains. I have made my concerns known to Manningham council recently about the number of very deep excavations carried out close to each other and adjacent residential properties but received no concern at all from council officers. I know of one such proposed project which got the thumbs down from council in Templestowe a couple of years ago and am finding that as long as its in Doncaster it just “doesn’t matter. Greed needs to step aside for common sense in my opinion.
