00:00We're concerned about the size of the building, the amount of people that's going to be housed in this area
00:05and the infrastructure, the roads, how people are going to get around and what that's going to do to community
00:10living.
00:11I'm just concerned about no green spaces have been considered, no reasonable walkways have been considered and just the heights
00:20are just not complying with the local government, they're just going straight to the state government.
00:28I'm terribly concerned about the environmental impacts of the glass, steel, concrete and wondering what it's going to do.
00:37We've had the hottest winter so far, we're going to have the hottest spring. I have heard nothing about environmental
00:44offsets, I don't see green roofs, I don't see green walls, the way other countries that have expanded and gone
00:52upwards have taken measures.
00:53The state government has decided they're a better way of approving things. Apparently they don't trust local councils anymore.
01:01It seems as if families are not at the heart of our urban planning and they should be.
01:07I feel really concerned about the city and the extraordinarily high rises that are proposed, that they are inadequately addressing
01:16infrastructure issues.
01:18I would just like the Wollongong Council to stand up for the community here and speak up for us and
01:25keep it at a level that is what the community wants.
01:29An adherence to the Flinders Street Precinct plan that was done only this last year and then that's being overridden,
01:35so keeping the council's plan.
01:37Thank you very much.
01:38Thank you very much.
