Hi, Alexander
Thank you for your detailed study and provide us with facts for our further
pursue in this regards.
It seems that not only the Developer but Council Certifier failed to make
compliance with the Strathfield Development Control Plan No. 25 in this
Development Site.
Kind regards.
Kim

Hi Minh,
I'm writing to you regarding our missing Visitor Parking spaces, I have
attached a copy of the Strata Plan covering the unit the we own and occupy
(SP90441 Lot 512 and the supporting Lot Allocation Plans) for your reference
and as can be seen there is no common property set aside for visitor
parking, car-wash bay or bicycle parking which is one of Councils
requirements for this development (refer to your DCP-25 79 Courallie Ave
Homebush West
<https://www.strathfield.nsw.gov.au/assets/Planning/Planning-Instruments/DCP
-25-79-Couralie-Ave-Homebush-West.pdf> , Sections 3.2.5.b/3.2.5.g/3.2.5.i).
I will admit neither me or my solicitor noticed this however it appears were
in good company because neither did Garry Ryan the Accredited Certifier who
signed off on this on 23/10/2014 on behalf of Council.
There are also some anomalies in the Lot Allocation Plans which could
account for the intended locations of Visitor Parking. Lot 525 has been
allocated as a Utility Lot in the basement car park however it is now being
used as private storage possibly by House 1. Also Lot 499 has two spaces
allocated in the basement car park, a storage space and a single car space
however Lot 499 is a Townhouse which has it's own internal 2 car garage and
internal storage (refer sheet 19 of 21, Building 13, Basement Level Floor
Plan and sheet 15 of 21, Building 12, Basement Level Floor Plan). What were
the intended uses for these spaces before they were sold off.
An your acutely aware there is only about 50% of the required visitor
parking spaces available in the Estate for the number of units and very few
are close enough to our building to be able to be called convenient. Please
investigate to see if there's anything that can be done to get the developer
to hand back any spaces that were initially designated as Visitor Parking
and appear to have been sold off and determine who on the SC/OC authorised
the sale/transfer of these asserts.
If you have any questions about this please feel free to contact me.
Many thanks,
