I strongly oppose this proposal, because it is a drastic underdevelopment for the area. We need a lot more retirement living than the slight uplift offered, especially here by the beach where people desperately want to retire but aren't permitted to. We also need more Aged Care beds, but this proposal takes all of them away. The two storey restriction should be revised by the council for the purposes of retirement living - the Council should negoitate with the proponent to triple the heights allowed here to foster more of what the community needs. Losing beds is a disaster, this proposal should be revised. Retirees don't add to traffic, and the flood study has came back positive - time for a revisit of the planning settings here for the purposes of addressing our extreme, harmful shortage of aged care and retirement living. In lieu of a proactive council to foster a significant and appropriate uplift in retirement living, the proponent should be made to apply for it through the state government.
