1. This development will create major traffic problems to residents and Padstow north primary school as well as the surrounding factories and business with in the area

2. Can someone please explain how a change to this development is even being considered, when the Land & Environment court said it was not to be used as a place of worship !!!!!!!!!!!
   As a business owner in Padstow for 20 years, I have embraced the multiculturalism in our area as a positive thing. The objections to this Mosque in Enterprise Ave are purely against the position of such a development, (traffic, accessibility for traffic flow, parking, interference to other business owners, noise, disruption to school area, disruption for residence & safety) these points have been addressed by the Chamber of Commerce for many years with council regarding changes & developments all over the Padstow Area. It seems that our Council does not represent the rate payers nor consult nor listen to any concerns. Putting a development of this magnitude, which will attract enormous numbers of people & vehicles, into a dead end street with one entrance/exit is PURE LUNACY............Watson Road has enough traffic issues without adding 5000 more...........Why don't we take away all the sensitive issues & look at this from a common sense perspective & make the right decisions for the area...it is not a suitable site for something of this size which is a 7 days a week establishment.

3. I would like to lodge my disapproval of this application on many grounds, firstly it was only supposed to accommodate around 150 people and wasn't supposed to be used as a place of worship, but they have bought up a joining properties know full well they were going to expand and keep going until they get what they want.
   5000 worshippers is unacceptable for this area or almost any suburban area, traffic congestion, unacceptable noise, parking problems, to name but a few.
   Everywhere their is a mosque their is social upheaval and issues with local residents who only wish to live in peace, with the upheaval brought about by that many people descending on the local area.
   this will severely change the demographics and the fabric of the whole area.
   This development should be opposed and left as just a meeting hall as was originally approved

4. Due to the increase in tragic this is a inappropriate development for the area the infrastructure(roads) can not cope now with all the extra traffic that comes down Watson road and feeds out onto Fairford road/Davies road which is the main roads for the traffic to Menai and going to Bankstown
   The factories in Enterprise ave employee local people
   The school Padstow North Primary backs onto the development this will severely affect the children at the school

5. There are strict limits on Places of Public Worship in residential areas - limiting floor space to 400 sq. m. and requiring significant car parking based on size (1 space per 8 sq. m), in order to limit impacts on neighbours. These limits seem to be ignored for developments within industrial areas even when the site is very close to residential areas. In this case the site is within 500m of a residential area and is in a cul-de-sac which opens onto a residential street. The scale of this development is excessive in this area and I therefore oppose the proposed it unless it is revised to be within the requirements for PPW's in residential areas.

6. The Land & Environment court said it was not to be used as a place of worship. Why has this changed?
   As a local resident for the past 40 years I have embraced the multiculturalism in our area as a positive thing.

It seems that our new Council -"Canterbury Bankstown" for which we have not yet voted for due to forced amalgamation, does not represent the rate payers nor consult nor listen to any concerns. Putting a development of this magnitude, which will attract enormous numbers of people & vehicles, into a dead end street with one entrance/exit is beyond belief. Watson Road has enough traffic issues without adding 5000 more...........
   Can I also mention that this "place of worship"appears to be up and running as my husband drove home from work 20.6.2017 at 8.30pm and entered Watson Road from Davies Road. Reaching the roundabout at Watson Road and Enterprise he was met with a stream of cars and pedestrians Why don't we take away all the sensitive issues & look at this from a common sense perspective & make the right decisions for the area...it is not a suitable site for something of this size which is a 7 days a week establishment.
