Prolonged Construction Impacts on Residents' Amenity
Summary: Residents in northern Palm Beach have endured significant disruption from continuous local construction activity. Approving yet another high-rise here effectively sanctions years more of noise, dust and traffic delays for the neighborhood.
- Need for Better Management of Construction Sites : Given the population growth proposed by council, it must call for and enforce more robust Construction Management Plans. Council enforcement against non compliance appears to fall short of community expectations.
Conclusion: Council must ensure robust measures are in place to protect the community’s well-being during construction, and should attend the site promptly to enforce the conditions if requested to do so by residents.
