Not the right setting

I am concerned about the proposal of a local bowling club at Woy Woy.

The proposed change is for a bowling green to become two soccer areas plus flood lighting surrounded by a high wire fence.

The zoning for this area is Residential 2(a) GPSO.

Soccer has areas already in the district.

An all-weather indoor facility is available at the Peninsula Leisure Centre.

In the right setting, soccer is an enjoyable game.

Games at night under flood lights with homes surrounding which will be affected by noise, inevitable disturbances is certainly not the right setting.

I doubt that this proposal structure would be welcome on any residential street corner.
