Residents of Brunswick Heads can visit Sunrise Beach Estate to see a visible negative effect of The Kollective’s developments on our neighbourhoods – our streets are now cluttered with parked cars.
This developer exploits the unrealistic, and woefully inadequate, ‘0.5 car spaces per dwelling’ criterion of the State Planning Department Affordable Rental Housing legislation. It will allow The Kollective’s ‘The Corso’ to provide only 24 car spaces for 48 dwellings. So, at the very least, there will be 24 cars parked on the single road frontage.
This new proposed development is especially dangerous, being immediately next door to a preschool.
