I object this proposed development

Thomas Prest (Stirling, 2023-10-26)

#2

I do not want this approved. Save our neighbourhood

Laura Prest (SA, 2023-10-26)

#3

I am singing because
I disagree with the location and believe it poses a safety risk to the community. It is not fitting with the aesthetic of the residential property that surrounds it!

Jono Ashby (Stirling, 2023-10-26)

#6

Completely unnecessary

Lily Lark (ALDGATE, 2023-10-26)

#9

We do not support building a centre in this location.

Andrew Sarre (Stirling, 2023-10-27)

#12

This is a completely inappropriate development for this primarily residential street.

Ben Loiterton (Mylor, 2023-10-27)

#14

I do not wish for there to be more centres built in Stirling

Mel Kotz (Adelaide , 2023-10-27)

#15

Absolutely not the right place for a childcare centre

Edward Smart (Adelaide , 2023-10-27)

#16

I work at The Rangers in stirling and i feel adding another child care will affect my work

Brookelynn Lynn (Mount barker, 2023-10-27)

#17

There is not adequate parking and would cause chaos to the street.

Jessica Grbin (Stirling, 2023-10-27)

#18

It will be very dangerous with that amount of cars on the road

Kristen Beltrame (Stirling , 2023-10-27)

#22

I strongly object to the building of a commercial premises in a residential area. This may set a precedent which I do not want for this part of Stirling.
There are safety concerns as a number of children that go to Stirling East Primary School walk or ride along Pomona Rd. Having an increase in the volume of traffic entering and exiting the proposed childcare centre would escalate the likelihood that accidents may occur.
I am also concerned with privacy issues with our own property's backyard if the proposed building is a two storey structure which may overlook us and the surrounding neighbours.

J L Edmonds - Wilson (Stirling SA , 2023-10-27)

#25

Traffic management for this location is nor adequate.

Carla Lewington (Mylor, 2023-10-27)

#29

I am opposed to opening another child care centre in Stirling.

Ali B (Stirling, 2023-10-27)

#34

I don't believe this proposal fits in with the community feel that stirling and the surrounds have. I also don't agree with turning a heritage listed residential building into commercial use. Pomonal Rd and the stirling community cannot cope with the proposed amount of traffic.

Felicity Vardon (Bridgewater, 2023-10-27)

#35

I live close by in Gould Road and extremely disappointed that this sort of development would even be considered in a residential area, totally not appropriate.

Carolyn Kew (Adelaide , 2023-10-27)

#41

It’s not right

Jamie BROADSTOCK (Happy Valley, 2023-10-27)

#43

I live just behind where this centre will be. It is not an appropriate location for another child care centre. They should stick to properly zoned areas rather than moving into prime residential areas with narrow streets.

Darren Peisley (Stirling, 2023-10-27)

#45

No more centres are needed in the area

Ellen Daly (Adelaide, 2023-10-27)

#57

I live locally. There is no need for this development and it will disturb the neighbourhood, unnecessary removal of vegetation and greenery. Completely unfair to residents of this street.

Corinne Mckee (Longwood, 2023-10-27)

#62

I don't agree with this childcare facility being built on Pomona road in a clearly residential area. There is no need for extra childcare facilities in Stirling, there is enough to meet current demand. If this is approved, I would think there will be lots of unrest in the local community. Something we don't need more of in these times we're living in

Courtney Purl (Mylor, 2023-10-27)

#64

I’m signing this petition as the proposed development shows detrimental impacts to the area.
With the area providing multiple child care centres within a few kms; it is completely unnecessary.
The carpark traffic estimating of 165 cars from a narrow, small, high traffic road is just plain silly. If the freeway is blocked, this is an alternative route which is used frequently!
Have you mentioned how much it will devalue the properties surrounding who have bought those properties for the community / for the environment & to be away from busy areas?

Sammy Matsen (Stirling, 2023-10-27)

#69

I don’t agree a Commerical property should be approved for this location. There are plenty of centres already available locally and this will directly impact the value (not only of surrounding properties) but of the unique, peaceful and beautiful position. This beautiful location is filled with stunning heritage homes and large allotments which contributes significantly to why Stirling and the surrounding Adelaide Hills is such a beautiful and loved part of South Australia. There are plenty of commerical appropriate positions that could be considered.

Sarah Stewart (Adelaide , 2023-10-27)

#77

A development of this scale and nature does not belong in a residential zone such as this and is significantly at odds with surrounding character of the area. A rationale planning assessment cannot consider this to be a suitable development proposal.

Jonathan Temme (Myrtle Bank , 2023-10-27)

#84

I’m signing this petition because I strongly disagree with this proposed development of a child care centre on Pamona Road.

Dylan Matsen (St Marys, 2023-10-27)

#85

Too large, too many trees to be felled

Kate Sporne (Adelaide , 2023-10-27)

#87

I’m signing because the need is not there. Also because it doesn’t fit in the hills. Multi storey commercial properties are what people expect in the city, in the hills it’s what we escape from.

Cat Parris (Adelaide, 2023-10-27)

#99

There shouldn’t be a child care centre on such a small street, with residential properties, it will destroy the feel of such a beautiful, unique town like Stirling.

Charlotte Ogden (Maslin beach , 2023-10-27)

#100

I'm signing because any such child care facility ought to be located in central Stirling away from residential areas in order to contain traffic and noise so as to not to compromise and cause disruption and aggravation in those areas.

Peter Fortunatow (STIRLING, 2023-10-27)

#102

This is a residential area

Sally Jenkins (Clarendon, 2023-10-27)

#105

This gorgeous residential street that I walk on daily will be destroyed by demolition of a heritage building absolutely beautiful greenery that will take years to replenish and the traffic will create noise, pollution and be an accident waiting to happen in such a narrow street. There absolutely must be somewhere more appropriate to build such a thing not in the middle of a residential haven.

Melissa Newman (Stirling, 2023-10-28)

#106

This is getting ludicrous. Stirling needs to slow down.

Timothy Deed (Mylor, 2023-10-28)

#107

The destruction of this quiet, beautiful residential area would be nothing but a huge disgrace to the area. The vegetation alone will be irreplaceable and the traffic on such a small street would be a disaster! I walk this street everyday as a beautiful way to enjoy our community.

Lesley Philp (Stirling, 2023-10-28)

#108

This development will cause chaos for parking at drop off and pickup times, destroy the ambiance of the neighbourhood for visitors and residents like us.

Jerome Newman (Stirling, 2023-10-28)

#117

I live locally

Sam Rogers (Adelaide, 2023-10-28)

#124

Not in keeping with locality & unfair to others seeking to do much less intrusive developments (such as a 2-storey family home) that haven been blocked by Council

Laura Goldsmith (Stirling, 2023-10-28)

#126

The Hills are so beautiful. They are already developed enough (so so much more over the past 20 years since I lived in the beauty of this space) without multi story buildings tarnishing them. Keep them out of residential zones at very least.

Clementine Berry (Payneham, 2023-10-28)

#130

This is a rural zone and would be devastating for families in our area with the amount of traffic and disruption a child care centre would cause. Children currently ride and walk down that road for school, shops and the bike track. This would affect their independence and safety of families.

Jennifer Everett (Crafers, 2023-10-28)

#131

This development does not add to the community - in fact it detracts from it. We don’t need these services and the local operators who have been here for years don’t need their business taken away from them.

Kristine Cleghorn (Aldgate , 2023-10-28)

#136

I'm signing because I completely disagree with this development. It is totally unnecessary and the area is residential not commercial. It needs to stay that way. Not to mention protecting the safety of our kids, this development would cause additional traffic and safety issues along the pedestrian pathway used by so many kids in the area.

Amanda Peisley (Stirling, 2023-10-29)

#138

I’m signing this petition because this is a residential location, it is already a very busy rd with children on bikes, buses and local traffic creating significant congestion .. I drive on this road multiple times / day

Leonie Robson (Stirling, 2023-10-29)

#139

I’m signing this petition because the road is far too congested already

Chris Robdon (Stirling, 2023-10-29)

#142

I’m signing because putting a childcare centre in the middle of surburbia changes the residential appeal of the area. Additionally, adding even more traffic to a busy road becomes a safety issue. Allowing a two storey commercial building amongst tree filled private homes ruins the street appeal. If you have to approve it, do what you did to Aldi- single storey, stone, and sympathetic to the hills

Morag Greenwood (Adelaide , 2023-10-29)

#145

I am signing this in support of the community that live in the area.

Ellen Fernandez (Nsw, 2023-10-29)

#150

Let the fam live in peace !

Jai Tweeddale (Winchelsea, 2023-10-29)

#151

We do no want a multistory childcare center built on Pomona road

Alex Pinches (Adelaide, 2023-10-29)

#154

I'm Signing because this development is not within keeping of the Adelaide Hills Rural Neighbourhood Zone and will be a constant issue for immediate neighbours that have bought into this area for the residential nature of the local.

Paul Rogers (Stirling, 2023-10-30)

#157

I strongly object to the building of a commercial premises in the proposed location.

It is a residential area and the proposed commercial property is not in keeping with the aesthetic and environment of the location.

This is a residential road that is used by locals and children walking / riding to & from the local primary school (SEPS) and will not support an increase in volume of traffic; traffic that would present a significant safety concerns to children and local residents.

Stirling does not need a local, residential street ruined by a commercial premises and the associated, unsustainable traffic, find somewhere more suitable.

Mark Logan (Stirling, 2023-10-30)

#159

I object to the building of the childcare centre at 52 Pamona Road, Stirling 5152 for the following reasons:

1. There will be a dramatic increase in traffic in a quiet residential area.
2. The increase in traffic will result in added danger to children cycling to nearby schools.
3. The planned car park has one entrance and exit, meaning that there will be roads blocked with cars, again increasing danger for children and causing huge inconvenience for residents in the area.
4. Environmental concerns: the plan is to cut down trees on the plot and build a large incongruous commercial building.
5. Environmental context: this area is residential with low rise houses, surrounded by nature and space.

Niki Walker (Stirling, 2023-10-30)

#160

I object .. a 30 space car-park to support 118 child care places, with let’s say 5-10 staff, daily delivery vehicles and 118 parents and their 118 cars to all converge at pickup and drop off times. This can only overflow into Pomona Rd .. which doesn’t have on-street parking. My 12 year old son cycles Pomona Rd frequently (for school at Stirling East Primary and to the Pomona Rd Bike/BMX track). All this extra traffic will be dangerous for him and all children doing the same. This area is residential .. what residential block is ever intended for a 30 space carpark, almost 1000 sqm of multi-storey commercial space, and removal of all trees? Even if Stirling did need another childcare centre, this is plan doesn't stack up.

Simon Gilligan (Stirling, 2023-10-30)

#165

This is crazy!!!!!

Lucy Giles (Adelaide, 2023-10-30)

#166

I drive past this site regularly, my sons are/have been attending Stirling East Primary School and the traffic at both ends of Pamona Road is already congested.

For the residents nearby, a childcare centre would be extremely disruptive to their residential setting. It is a different situation if you choose to purchase a property next to a school, kindergarten, child care centre but it is unjust to have this forced upon you.

Kelly Logan (Crafers West, 2023-10-30)

#174

This is a residential area and such a project shouldn’t even been considered. It is going to cause chaos on an already busy road and disturbance to the local residents. 4 childcare centres in a small community like Stirling are already enough!

Marc Poulain (Stirling , 2023-10-31)

#179

There are plenty of childcare options in Stirling already.
This is not a place for a childcare centre. Its a residential area with a heavy traffic flow all parts of the day. There are already close calls with the children that frequent the bike park nearby. I believe there may have actually been an accident involving children at said place. The increase in traffic and noise will definitely impact on nearby residents.

Kris Morrison (Stirling, 2023-11-01)

#180

This will attract unnecessary traffic to an already over utilised cut through road in Stirling. The additional child care capacity will put pressure on the 3 existing facilities which already have availability, so a 4th is totally unnecessary, Mount Barker and Bridgewater require this facility more so than Stirling, so why does it need to be located in Stirling.

Greg Bond (Aldgate, 2023-11-01)

#181

The size and height of this development is not appropriate for a residential area.

Martin Turner (Adelaide, 2023-11-01)

#183

Stirling and surrounds are already well serviced by child care centres, another in a residential area makes no sense, particularly on an already busy road, which is a thoroughfare for accessing the freeway. There would need to be significant changes to the road to create safe access to the site, safe passage for pedestrians and prevent traffic management issues. It is not an appropriate site at all.

Elizabeth Gunner (Stirling, 2023-11-02)

#184

This development does not belong in a residential area of high bushfire danger.

Mandy Walker (Aldgate, 2023-11-02)

#185

it represents a further incursion of commercial land use into residential area.
it is bringing vulnerable people (children) into a bushfire zone without consideration of the effect of this in emergency situations
the business will be in competition with existing childcare providers (I think one may be a community run one)
the building developments proposed are not in keeping with the surrounding area
if a resident proposed house renovations with this scale, foot print and overlooking neighbours it would not be allowed
complications with traffic management which have already been detrimentally effected by the rezoning to higher density around the Duxton/aldi development which are still to increase as the higher density housing area is sill to be built and population increases are yet to occur

Sheridan Morton (Stirling, 2023-11-02)

#187

This is an inappropriate development of a heritage listed property in a residential area. The increase in traffic is a major safety issue, the loss of the vegetation abhorrent.

Ann Kellett (Stirling, 2023-11-02)

#189

I would like to register my objection to this proposal for multiple reasons. Firstly, the centre should not be built in this residential area. Secondly, Pomona Road is a busy road with an unbroken centre white line for much of its length. The proposal will worsen traffic congestion and cause a potentially hazardous increase in traffic and crucially also increase the risk to the pedestrians that frequent the busy Pomona Road footpath. Thirdly, there are ample child care centre already established in Stirling.

Peter Herriot (Stirling, 2023-11-03)

#190

Eye sore.

Paul Adkins (Mylor , 2023-11-03)

#191

The location is going to cause significant risk to pedestrian traffic. The proposal only provides adequate parking for staff with no consideration for the volume of drop-off and pick-ups. This will further aggravate pedestrian safety and traffic management.

Matthew Armstrong (Stirling, 2023-11-03)

#192

I live on Pomona Road and have significant concerns in regard to this proposed development. I will detail my concerns via the PlanSA site.

Vanessa Geerts (Stirling, 2023-11-03)

#196

I object to this commercial venture in a residential area.

Gail Newman (Stirling, 2023-11-03)

#199

I am a local resident and this proposal seems so obviously out of step for what is a residential street. So many issues, noise , parking, increased activity on this narrow road, aesthetics of this multi story proposal. What else will be be asked to accept if we don’t voice opposition to this.

Phillip Forrest (Stirling, 2023-11-04)
