Mod 13- Excision Tarpaulin Factory

I support the application for Flower Power with council recommended amendments.
I would prefer a green space for restoration to the canopy to assist in control of chemical and noise pollution, however as this is not an option, I prefer The Flower Power application, as the best option for the area.
I have resided on Wangal Land since birth and have seen many comprises of green space and feel that at a local level, council too, can make a real difference in the betterment of air and noise quality by allowing Flower Power to set up business at the proposed location.

Hi,
My family and I, we all support the Modification number 13 so there aren't any inconsistencies with getting an approval granted to re-develop the historic tarpaulin factory into a Flower Power garden centre.
Finally a business that is environmental friendly, clean and mainly quiet.
This is the type of industry we welcome and want in our neighbourhood! A place where we can take our families, enjoy the green space and have a coffee! Managed by a well-known business with a great reputation that has been around for over forty years and is highly regarded not only within the gardener's community!
We hope that Strathfield council understands and appreciates the benefits Flower Power will bring to this part of Strathfield municipality, which is largely industrial. Please do know, that us local residents are very much in favour of this proposal and look forward to seeing the vacant site that has been deteriorating for decades, be transformed into lively business for the enjoyment of our community for many years to come.

We live right opposite the current Tarpaulin Factory. We would like to see Fower Power developed in that space.We believe that the original proposal was amended and issues addressed. The proposed Flower Power development is considered the most desired outcome and the best choice for us and the neighborhood. The Garden center will improve the area and will be used by the community.
Under no circumstances would be like that area to be used as a waste transfer facility or even factory warehouses. NO WAY!

I would like to see a Flower Power develop opposite our house. We have been waiting for the project to start and can not understand why it was delayed. It is the best use of the space and the community will enjoy it.

I want the Tarpaulin Factory to go and Flower Power to come in. As a community member, I want to be able to use that space. The historical buildings will be retained and preserved; the frog reserve will be not be impacted.
I'm aware that it might increase traffic in the area, but the proposed plans showed that parking will be at the back of the center, therefore traffic will not be such a big issues.

In relation to the application to excise the Tarpaulin site from the original Enfield Logistics Site approval, I agree with the benefits of the application as set out in Section 5.9 "Public Interest" of the Modification Application No. 13 (127 Cosgrove Road South Strathfield NSW dated 30/8/2017).

As a member of the community (within 250m of the Tarpaulin site) we responded to the community feedback for potential uses to the Tarpaulin site. We are looking forward to an enhancement of the site as proposed by Flower Power.

To NSW Planning and Environment

Please approve the garden centre at 127 Cosgrove Road, Strathfield South/Belfield.


My reasons are because we already have had so many terrible noisy industries open up near our home. They make it impossible for us to enjoy our home any more. They make it impossible for us to sleep at night or any later than 6am in the morning. They make so much noise during the day with their high pitch beeping it is difficult for me to study. Allowing these types of industries to develop next to homes is wrong. They have caused my whole family so much distress and ruined our neighbourhood.

Most of these industries are untidy and make the area look such a mess.


I worry that if the garden centre is not approved yet another one of these noisy, dirty industries who do not care less about the residents who are their neighbours and care even less what their facility looks like will open up on the site. Something will have to eventually open here.


The garden centre is a really good option for the people of Belfield. It will be clean and quiet. It will care about its surrounds and what it looks like . It will improve the look of the area. It will be something we can enjoy rather than something that causes us more distress.


Please see that the garden centre is a business that is sensible to have near homes. Tips, skip bin facilities, container terminals, demolition truck depots and so many other options are not desirable. Please do not take away our opportunity for something good to establish in our suburb.
Kind regards

I am in support of the garden centre opening at 127 Cosgrove Rd.

This is the best development offered to this area. Please help ensure it happens.

By approving this development you are helping protect the residents from more undesirable industry establishing there.

We are so sick and tired of all the inappropriate industry that has established over the past few years in our neighbourhood. Belfield is a residential suburb. There are homes right across the road from this site. Please help protect these homes from having inappropriate industry establish there like what has happened in the area near Cook Park a few blocks away.

I want the garden centre because it will be quiet and clean. It won't bring a constant flow of semi trailers into our area 12 plus hours a day. I won't make our suburb even more untidy . It won't have trucks with loud reverse beepers that can be heard clearly all day every day for over a distance of 500m like most of the other industries that have established recently.

The garden centre will improve my life not make it worse. Please please please approve it.

I am writing in support of DA Number: 2016/132 proposed for 127 Cosgrove Road, Strathfield South/Belfield. I ask that NSW Planning decide in favour of the development .

Over the past 2-3 years a number of incompatible and inappropriate developments have been approved in the adjoining industrial area. A s a result the residents have suffered dreadful noise, dust and distress. Our lives have been negatively impacted enormously. For a change we have the opportunity for an industry to open in the nearby industrial area which is quiet, clean and for use by the residents. However it is denied approval.


What makes this refusal even more worrying for the residents is potential alternative developments should the garden centre not be approved. Please save the people of Belfield from the likely impact of yet another undesirable industry on our doorsteps, by approving the much wanted and residential friendly garden centre. We are already burdened with too many waste transfer facilities, container terminals, truck and bus depots, excavation equipment storage, scrap metal facilities - all of which are noisy and care nothing for the residential amenity or visual appearance of the area. The garden centre will beautify and improve the environment and surrounds, not make it worse.

Approval of the garden centre will have the following benefits for the residents:
* and will be enjoyed and used by the local community.
* The design and maintenance of the garden centre will be a visual improvement to the area
* It will protect he heritage buildings
* It will have minimum noise impact and no dust impact
* It will improve rather than reduce our property values
* The traffic generated will be of far less impact than that caused by alternative options. A look at the situation in Madeline st where trucks queue and block the street trying to enter sites clearly shows what could happen if the garden centre is refused and alternative industries establish at the site which bring in constant flows of heavy vehicles all day every day.

The garden centre is a wonderful option for this site. Please approve it at 127 Cosgrove Rd.

Happy for flower power

I support flower power

The proposed development is considered a desirable outcome and compatible land use for adjoining residential area. Flower power is a clean and quiet business.
The Garden Centre will visually improve the area and add value to adjoining residences as it will become more visually desirable that what is currently there
The facility will be used by the local community
The historical building are to be retained and improved
The reserve will not be impacted
The land is likely to remain in it's current state a discared warehouse which is an eyesore if the DA to Flower Power is not Approved.

Flower Power is a clean business and their garden centre will visually improve the area. It is a facility that will be used by the local community and visitors, while providing local residents with employment opportunities. Futhermore, if there is a cafe, it will be an aesthetically pleasing place to meet for breakfast, lunch or afternoon tea. The historical buildings will be retained and preserved and the frog reserve will not be impacted. It will a business that will have a positive impact for the local community.

I have attached a PDF file as my objection.
