5 发传单及传单样式
又仔细想了一下, 对这个开发影响最大的是penshurst铁路线以北,king george rd 以西, mortdale的boundary rd以东, 最北到stoney creek rd这个范围内的居民。什么是最有效的通知他们的方法呢?
1. 在penshurst and mortdale火车站北侧在上下班的高峰时段发传单
2. 马路上挨家挨户发传单
传单的内容可以很简单:提供两个版本
版本(一)
Dear resident,
We'd like to bring to your attention the recent DA application of a 2 story mosque at 445 Forest Rd Penshurst with a 30 meter tall pray tower, if you are not aware of it yet. The details of this application can be found at the Hurstville council website with the DA number (DA2013/0315).
'http://daenquiry.hurstville.nsw.gov.au/masterviewui/Modules/Applicationmaster/Default.aspx
Concerning such a significant development which may have a long term impact on the community, the community needs to hear your opinion, your local councilors can be reached via the following contact details.
http://www.hurstville.nsw.gov.au/Mayor-Councillors.html
Alternatively you can either support or object this application via the below link by quoting the address and the DA number aforementioned. However the link may close by 15th of Nov , therefore hurry up if you have not done that.

The council should based its decision after fully consulting the local residents and the community, it will be extremely unfortunate if your voice were not heard prior to a decision. Please pay the council a visit, pick up your phone or write a email before too late.

我终稿出来了,有没有哪几位帮我再看一下? formatting 请忽略,copy and paste时会有些出错。 版主,咱写都是根据council的development plan 要求来的,不涉及政治,种族,blah blah. 签名的来这, 看有没有可能拿到400个支持 https://www.change.org/en-AU/pet ... rest-road-penshurst
我看那个DA申请细节的时候发现这份申请里申请人真的是睁着眼睛说瞎话的,真的需要我们自己站出来说自己的观点。
Dear Mayor and Councillors,
Re: Development Application (DA2013/0315) for alterations and additions to existing Mosque – Group and first floor additions including new domed roof s and new 30m high minaret at 445 Forest Rd, Penshurst
We are a group of residents within the Hurstville Council area concerned with the said Development Application (DA2013/0315) and hereby object to this Development Application. In particular our concerns relate to the noise pollution, traffic congestion, insufficient parking spaces, landscape change, loss of amenity and resultant detrimental impacts on the surrounding area and local residents. We have launched an on-line petition and received over 350 online signatures over a four-day period.
A. Reasons for our objection
We outlined below the main concerns we have regarding the proposed Development Plan and reasons for our objection:
Impact on traffic and parking
The most concerning of all is the traffic congestion and parking problems this extended Mosque and its associated activities may bring about.
Even before the proposed extension, the Mosque and Imam residence already occupies the whole site and therefore car parking previously has not been provided on site. Now this Development Application proposed an addition of 189 square metres floor space and a second floor, a new 30-metre high minaret, and new domed roofs. This is a major change to size and appearance of the existing Mosque and residence on site. Whilst the applicant claimed in the DA application that the extension won’t increase patronage, we have serious reservation and doubt about this statement. With this substantial increase in size, and the new features of 30 metre high minaret and domed roofs, we do believe this extended and significantly altered Mosque will inevitably attract a much larger group of prayers, and this site could become a site for major events and holidays. Due to the fact that the proposed development plan fails to meet the traffic and parking space requirements as prescribed under the Hurstville Council’s Development Control Plan, we are concerned that the applicant might have understated the number of potential visitors, expected traffic, and volume and frequency of visits, with a view to obtaining development approval in spite of the proposed plan’s non-compliance with the Council’s Development Control Plan. As the current Mosque has already failed to provide any onsite parking space, this major extension and change to the Mosque could exacerbate the shortage of parking spaces in connection with the operation of this Mosque.
We noticed in the DA application document that it was mentioned parking spaces in the nearby shopping centre and near the council would be part of the solution of the parking problem. With the long distance between these offsite parkings and the Mosque, we feel this is an unfounded argument, but a sign that the proposed Mosque extension fails to provide any solution to its lack of onsite parking space, and have to propose some impractical solution to the problem.
It is also worth noting Forest Rd is one of the main and busiest roads in this Council. Traffic and parking in the neighbourhood area is already under strain. Several major residential buildings under construction around this area are expected to increase traffic and the need for additional parking spaces around this area. The extension of this Mosque will push traffic and parking in the area beyond its limits, causing severe issues for local residents and all through traffic.
Last but not the least, the frequency of visits for daily prays (up to five times a day), the number of major holidays and events throughout the year could make these traffic and parking issues a persistent and repeated problem for the neighbourhood and local residents.
Noise pollution
As mentioned above, we do believe the extended and changed Mosque will bring in a much larger number of visitors regularly on a daily basis. This includes concerns about noise pollution from the constant daily use of the Mosque. In particular there are concerns about that prays up to five times a day and the much larger group of prayers coming into the neighbourhood following this Mosque extension.
Loss of amenity and impact on nearby community facility and services
Due to noise, traffic and parking issues from the frequent visits by prayers, as outlined above, this could also significantly affect the accessibility and services of the next-door Pole Depot Neighbourhood Centre, which is an important community facility providing a diverse range of social support services to over 500 people living in the St George region and surrounding areas each week. There are also a few schools, childcares, before school and after school care centres nearby. The volume and frequency of visits in and out of the Mosque could cause traffic and parking issues, and potentially safety concern for family and children using such public and community services.
Impact on the environment
The Mosque building, particularly with its size, height, domed roofs and the 30-metre minaret, won’t be consistent with the landscape in the surrounding area, and will affect the living environment of the neighbourhood. In fact it could be visually overbearing to people in this neighbourhood.
Over development and loss of privacy
Even before the extension, the space of the Mosque and Iman residency already doesn’t allow it to provide onsite parking. The extension would further reduce the open space available at this side. With the expansion of floor space, an additional floor, and a 30-m high Minaret as proposed in the DA application and the large number of visitors coming in and out of this building on a daily basis, the extended Mosque will result in significant loss of privacy, daylight and sunlight to neighbouring properties.
Considering the various issues and material detrimental impact this proposed Mosque development plan may have on the neighbourhood and local residents, as local residents, we together urge the Council to reject this development plan.
B. Request for extension of consultation period, public consultation and public hearing
In conjunction with this objection, we also urge the Council to extend the period for the public to submit objection or other opinion, provide more information to the broader community for their input, and hold a public hearing with regard to this Development Application.
We believe this is a development of significant interest to the community in Hurstville Council. We, however, understand that the Council has only notified a very small group of residents of this Development Application, and failed to engage and consulte with the broader community in Hurstville. We only became aware of this Development Application a few days ago through conversation with some other residents in this area. Given the public interest involved and the various detrimental impacts this Development Plan may have on the community (as outlined above), we urge the Council to extend the period and coverage of consultation, and hold a public hearing on this matter.
* * * *
We, being local residents in this Council, expect the Council and the Councillors to take into consideration the opinion and concerns of local residents, and consider this Development Application accordingly.
Yours sincerely,
XXXX
