A $60 million student accommodation proposal for Mascot in Sydney's inner south has outraged residents, who say the project will devalue the area and make it "unbearable for the families and couples living within the vicinity".
In submissions to Bayside Council, more than 140 residents questioned why student accommodation was needed in an area "where there are no universities, TAFEs or colleges"."The noise factor due to students living on the premises having parties, large get-togethers will become unbearable for the families and couples living within the vicinity of the intended site," said one submission, which echoed the sentiment of many others.
"We have suffered enough with the issues related to the Mascot Towers, now this. We deserve a peaceful living environment, not what the council is planning for us," one resident wrote. "Iglu student communities are not only loved by those who live in them but they are also very positive contributors to the neighbourhoods in which we operate, both in terms of local commerce and employment," he said.
