    This building is already heavily overcrowded during prayer time. Increasing the patrons by over 60% will have a detrimental impact on traffic flow and further add to the 'ghetto reputation' of the area. I doubt that 110 people can comfortably fit inside this building, certainly not 336!
    We wish to also bring to council's attention the recent opening up of a driveway to the subject property accesible from the overhead railway bridge. Was a traffic impact study conducted before this driveway was built? On 2 occasions now, my husband has had to brake heavily after driving over the overpass to avoid colliding into cars that queue across the road leading into the prayer hall. These come into view as one prepares to negotiate the right-left turn onto Frederick street and is a major accident black spot.
    We heavily object to to the proposed opening times. These are nothing short of ridiculous. We don't know of any type of business or community centre that opens at 4am and continues until 1am in the morning, particularly ones that attract large gatherings as is being proposed. The property backs on to residential apartments and the noise created by these gatherings is not sympathetic to families and residents in the area.
