11737

RESOLVED      (Esber/Wilson) (a)     That Parramatta City Council oppose increased density proposed by state government at 61 Mobbs Lane Epping - Channel 7 Site on the following grounds:- 1                 It is out of character with the area. 2                 The increased traffic demands from the development will      exceed the capacity of the local road network. 3                 It represents an overdevelopment of the site (b)    That Parramatta City Council write to Hornsby and Ryde Councils and encourage those Councils to make a separate submission in relation to this issue.
