UpsetR

I have lived here for 11 months and now close to escaping. Unfortunately the place is becoming so densely populated it is difficult to understand that with only two access roads how this development is going to manage once it is complete. My biggest personal gripe is the noise omitted by an interstate transport company located next to Verona Drive who are operating on a 24 hour operators licence. The residents of Verona Drive are disturbed throughout each night due to being subjected to large trucks continuously using their piercing reverse alarms, the constant revving of engines, hissing and screeching of brakes, refrigeration generators along with other loading and unloading disturbing activities not conducive to the middle of a residential area. Admittedly, the company may well have been operating with a licence well in advance of the now neighbouring apartments being built, however, one would think that consideration in regards to the potential noise impact on the new residents would have been an integral and obvious part of the initial residential planning process, perhaps the financial gain blinded the obvious! Over the past ten months these disturbances have been reported to the local, and currently high profile Auburn council who do not appear to be able to do anything about it.
My neighbour moved into his living room to escape the noise in his bedroom and eventually complained to his real estate agent who allowed him to be released from his contract due to the apartment he rented being classed as not suitable to offer a quiet and disturbance free environment. I also know of other residents who have either left or are in the process of seeking alternative locations.
Wentworth Point may once have been quite a pleasant place to live, it is my opinion that the planners have got it wrong on so many levels. Please accept my apologies for coming across so negative in this report, this is not my normal manner, it's unfortunately how I have become since living here, I so look forward to my departure.
If you are considering moving here, plan accordingly and visit at all hours of the day before you commit yourself, include both early morning and evening visits in your reconnaissance. If you intend moving into the Verona Drive area I would strongly suggest visiting in the very early hours of the morning too.
