Harold Park Tram Sheds Development a) the proposed development will result in unacceptable impacts arising from the traffic arrangements; b) the proposed development will impact on the amenity of Annandale residents caused by increased parking demand both during the construction and operation of the facility; c) further design development is required to ensure that the public domain will be safe, pleasant and accessible for pedestrians and cyclists; d) a reiteration that the motor vehicle bridge that provides access to the Tram Sheds from The Crescent be removed and that a new point of access for motor vehicles be created through the Harold Park development, to the Tram Sheds; e) a reiteration that the former Rozelle Tram Depot include an arts or culture facility; f) a statement of concern that the Development Application provides insufficient information in relation to the environmental performance of the construction and operation of the proposed development

Harold Park Tram Sheds Development -no evidence has been provided to indicate that this traffic has been include in the capacity calculations for the Chapman Road intersection or the intersection of The Crescent with Johnston Street or the City West Link; -this traffic distribution may not have been included in the Master Plan’s traffic assessment as the intersection had not been, at that stage, been confirmed as a signalised intersection; - resultant increased congestion on The Crescent has the potential to encourage traffic to attempt to filter through adjacent residential streets. In particular traffic accessing their destination via Johnston Street would have a high likelihood of diverting to adjacent streets if congestion at the intersection of Johnston Street and The Crescent became severe; - increased congestion on The Crescent has the potential to restrict local accessibility by impeding access, for local residents, between The Crescent and adjoining local streets
