A massive outside of business hours (incl. Saturday) childcare business is proposed on the corner of Spoonbill Road and Cedric Street, Stirling, creating at least 224 car movements per day and it does meet the R Codes. This development does not meet the following Residential Design Codes and must not be approved by Council with these exemptions as it will look like a prison on a hill but painted as a circus tent: 1. Filling the site to a depth of 0.97m, is in excess of the 0.50m allowed; 2. The retaining walls will have a maximum height of 0.97m are higher than the 0.50 m allowed. Gawdy childcare business paint schemes and commercial signage are designed to garner attention and Council must not allow this visual pollution. Spoonbill Rd and Cedric St are very busy with morning and afternoon school and work traffic. They are "rat-runs" but the developers’ have supported their DA by claiming that there will be no adverse effects to residents. 224 vehicle movements per day that will access a tiny carpark via Cedric Street on the round-about, will cause traffic chaos. The application plans for 13 bays which does not have enough car parks for a 0-3-year-old childcare business. The carparks will not meet the requirements of the staff let alone parents’ dropping off babies. This will require at least 15 min or more turn-around times. This is due to the difficulty of babies being secured in a car and then signing in and settling or collecting babies. This will not be a kiss and drive. There will be increased traffic on Cedric Street from the three other new childcare businesses being built and from the units at the shopping centre. There is a lack of parking at the Stirling Shopping Centre, so this development will only add to the traffic snarls and rat parking. There are enough sites that are zoned commercial and untenanted in the area so there is no need for business to be dumped into a long-term residential area for the commercial gain of a developers that don’t even live in Stirling. Council should be supporting commercial property owners’ and not increasing commercial property supply by allowing quasi commercial premises in our residential zones. Stirling will get even more “rat-parkers” now that leave their car in the back streets after dropping off their children and to catch public transport to the city to avoid paying for parking in the city or at the train station only to return in the evening. There is no preferential treatment in this business for locals and it has been located to capture rat runners to the train station or the freeway. Stirling already has several under capacity childcare businesses in a 5km radius and Council must use their discretion and not approve any more. This extended hours childcare business doesn’t have enough carparks for staff let alone parents’ dropping children off and the parking needs to be 30 bays not 13. They have reduced the car bays for 4 bike racks and a bus stop but no-one will take babies to childcare on a pushbike or bus, it is simply ridiculous, Council must not allow this reduction. Lack of bays will cause people to park on Sandpiper and Spoonbill Roads which will cause a standstill of cars with parking on these streets 20 meters from a very busy round-about. There are 3 bus services at peak hours on Cedric Street and the car parking, turning off and stopping will interfere with these services. The site has developed trees and the building on the site appears to destroy the established 30 year old tree cover and Council needs to stop this tree loss. Councillors’ must not allow this discretionary use as it is not a right as it is not being rezoned commercial and it’s simply an approved use subject to Council discretion for a residential property. It must not be allowed.
