Precinct meeting – March

Published on 08/03/2012 in Diary, News, Precinct

Click here for the agenda and click here for the minutes of February’s meeting. Please email matprecinct@gmail.com if you have anything you would like to add to the agenda.

A priority for the meeting is to review the Draft Local Environmental Plan (LEP) which controls development and guides planning decisions made by Council. It determines what can be built, where it can be built and what activities can occur on land. The draft LEP has been prepared to meet new State Government guidelines for local planning documents and affects all properties within the Randwick Local Government Area.

The Draft LEP pulls together all the discussion papers that have been exhibited over the last two years.

We have until 2 April to send in our written submissions or you can submit your comments on the yoursayrandwick.com.au/LEP .

See you at 7pm, 12 March, Matraville RSL – ALL WELCOME!

Don’t forget to Facebook us!

Community Forum – Development on Denison Street, Eastgardens

Published on 01/02/2012 in Industry, News, Precinct

Residents, businesses and concerned individuals are expressing serious concerns over the proposed Bunnings development
(DA 11/224), and proposed
ORICA 20-Lot Subdivision (Statement of Environmental Effects), on Denison Street. Concerns are centred on the failure to consider:

  • Denison Street is a Major Dangerous Goods Route
  • The traffic impacts on surrounding streets and intersections
  • The increased risk to local residents, patrons of Hensley Athletic Field and Westfield Eastgardens
  • Economic responsibility to local businesses and employment
  • Zoning and suitability of development in this area

As per Botany Bay City Council Development Control Plan (DCP) No 30, developments involving residential, active recreation, large commercial or sporting facilities are restricted to ensure that there is no increase in the number of people exposed to risk as a result of the operations of the Botany/Randwick industrial area.

Development should always be safe and enhance the local area and add value to our property – not reduce its value and increase risk.

Join us to discuss the impact development in this area will have on our health, well being and environment at a COMMUNITY FORUM to be held this Monday (6 Feb) evening, 7pm a the Matraville RSL.

Botany Bay City Council, NSW Planning Dept, and Bunnings have all been invited to answer your questions. ORICA has already confirmed their attendance.

WHAT: Community Forum – Development on Denison Street

WHEN: Monday 6 Feb, 7pm

WHERE: Matraville RSL

FLYER: Community Forum 

AGENDA: *** Matraville Precinct Extraordinary Meeting 6 Feb, 2012 ***

Malabar Police Station now Aboriginal land

Published on 28/01/2012 in News, Precinct

Many of you will know that in May 2009 it was announced that the Malabar Police Station would be closing down and the land sold, leaving the growing South East community without effective police protection. 

A petition of 7000 concerned residents was tabled in Parliament in an effort to stave off the auctioneers hammer, but it is by way of a successful appeal (27 January, 2012) to the NSW Land and Environment Court (LEC) that the land now belongs to the La Perouse Local Aboriginal Land Council >>> read the full judgement here.

In the last 12 months $300,000 has been spent upgrading the station which currently houses a victims of crime unit. However, calls by the community for the station to be fully operational 24/7 have not abated.

As per the LEC judgement the site is to be vacated within two months. Might this mean yet another step further away from adequate police resources servicing our neighbourhood?

It should be noted that Matraville Precinct is
apolitical, non-denominational and respectful of all ancestry.
