The local transportations are overloaded, every monring the car park alone Metro statation are fulled befoer 7am. Roads in the Hills area experienced heavy trafic from 7am to 10am. Not until the council build more car park and fix the traffic, there is no way a expansion of the school should be approved.

To Whom It May Concern,
Subject: Objection to the Proposed Expansion of Malek Fahd Islamic School (SSD-56264716)**
I am writing to formally object to the proposed expansion of Malek Fahd Islamic School, located at 20 Mungerie Road, Beaumont Hills (SSD-56264716). While I understand the importance of enhancing educational facilities, this proposal raises several significant concerns that warrant careful consideration.
1. Traffic Congestion and Road Safety
The roads surrounding the proposed development site, particularly Mungerie Road and its connecting streets, are already heavily congested during peak hours. The expansion will undoubtedly increase traffic volumes, as more students, staff, and visitors travel to and from the school. This will exacerbate existing traffic issues, increase commute times, and create safety risks for both pedestrians and motorists. Furthermore, the proposed parking facilities and access points are unlikely to fully mitigate these challenges, putting additional strain on local infrastructure.
2. Insufficient Infrastructure
Beaumont Hills' current infrastructure is not equipped to handle the scale of this proposed expansion. Public transport options and road capacity in the area are already stretched thin, and the influx of additional vehicles will only worsen these issues. Local residents will face increased travel disruptions, particularly during school hours, and the strain on community resources will rise significantly.
3. Impact on Residential Amenity
The expansion plan, including the construction of a multi-purpose hall, sports fields, and additional buildings, risks disrupting the peaceful residential environment of Beaumont Hills. Increased noise levels, light pollution, and extended hours of operation may negatively affect the quality of life for nearby residents, particularly those living closest to the site.
4. Alignment with Australian Values
The proposal to expand a school that primarily serves a single ethnic or religious community raises questions about whether it aligns with Australia’s commitment to inclusivity, multiculturalism, and shared values. It is important to evaluate whether the development fosters broader community integration or inadvertently contributes to social segmentation. Such considerations are crucial to ensuring that the expansion reflects and supports the values of unity and diversity that Australia upholds.
5. Environmental and Construction Impact
The proposed demolition, construction, and landscaping works will have an inevitable impact on the local environment. Increased dust, noise, and heavy vehicle activity during construction will disrupt the neighborhood and may harm local biodiversity. These factors need to be thoroughly assessed and mitigated before proceeding.
I look forward to being informed of any updates regarding this project.
Yours sincerely,

The traffic is too heavy during school zoom.

I am writing to formally object to the proposed redevelopment of Malek Fahd Islamic School in Beaumont Hills. As a resident in close proximity to the school, I am deeply concerned about the substantial impact this redevelopment will have on myself (and family), my neighbours, and the broader Beaumont Hills community. The proposed redevelopment is a massive $123m project, yet the estimated timeline for completion remains unknown. Large-scale construction of this magnitude will inevitably cause prolonged congestion, noise pollution, dust and debris, and general disturbances to residents, severely impacting our quality of life. Additionally, long-term construction will lead to an increase in heavy vehicle traffic, parking congestion, and road blockages, further exacerbating daily congestion for residents.
The Beaumont Hills area has already been significantly impacted by years of ongoing construction, including works along Samantha Riley Drive and the continued and ongoing development in the North Kellyville suburb. The addition of another long-term, large-scale redevelopment will only compound these issues, increasing traffic congestion, construction noise, and overall disruption to residents. The planned expansion will see the school’s capacity increase from 525 students to approximately 1,300 after already undergoing a recent capacity increase. Further expansion will bring a significant influx of students, parents, and staff into the area, placing an unsustainable strain on our already burdened roads and community amenities.
Despite the dramatic increase in student numbers and associated traffic, there are no proposed upgrades to the surrounding road infrastructure. Beaumont Hills is a suburban area with limited road capacity, and traffic congestion is already an issue, particularly during school drop-off and pick-up hours. The added volume of vehicles from Malek Fahd and its expanded student body will worsen congestion, increase travel times, and lead to higher risks of traffic accidents. Our community already experiences severe traffic disruptions due to the presence of four other schools within a 2-3 km radius (Rouse Hill High School, Our Lady of the Angels, Ironbark Ridge and Beaumont Hills Public School. The lack of road infrastructure improvements will create unsafe conditions for pedestrians, cyclists, and local drivers.
The proposed redevelopment includes multiple two-storey buildings, some of which will directly block sunlight to nearby homes. The construction of a three-storey building is particularly concerning, as there is currently no other three-storey buildings in the entire suburb, including our local shopping precinct. This is a drastic change to the visual landscape of our community and sets an unwelcome precedent for future high-density developments in what has traditionally been a low-rise suburban environment.
The construction and demolition of existing structures will contribute to noise pollution, dust, and potential damage to nearby properties. Additionally, the increase in student numbers will likely result in higher noise levels beyond school hours, further diminishing the peaceful residential nature of Beaumont Hills. It is important to note that there is already another Islamic school within a 3 km radius, providing an alternative for students seeking faith-based education. Furthermore, a substantial portion of Malek Fahd students do not reside in Beaumont Hills but travel from other local government areas (LGAs). This raises concerns about the necessity of such a significant expansion in our suburb when other educational options exist nearby.
As a long-standing member of the Beaumont Hills community, I urge the council to significantly modify the proposed redevelopment to better align with the needs and concerns of local residents. This proposal, as it stands, does not provide adequate infrastructure support, negatively impacts residential quality of life, and introduces an unwarranted precedent for high-density developments in our suburban area. I appreciate your time and consideration of these concerns and respectfully request that community objections be taken seriously in the final decision.

The muslim community is getting bigger in the hills area, and the waiting list is long for this school. My daughter is in the waiting list for 14 months with no luck to get a spot while her siblings are in Malek Fahd school.

Expanding the school will enable our community’s children to study in a comfortable environment that meets their needs.

Malek Fahd is a school that holds the beliefs and values of Australian culture. Besides being an Islamic school that adds to Australia’s multicultural society, it is also adding to Australia’s revenue system. By expanding the school, we are able to have more students and families enrol which will then increase revenue in the education system as well as increase opportunities for families migrating, further benefiting Australia’s economy. Currently, Malek Fahd is a multi-campus school, with the main campus in South western Sydney, Greenacre. With the multicultural population in Greenace, the school is renowned for its teachings and values as well at the benefits they add to the Australian economy. This is something which can be carried forward to the Beaumont Hills campus if an opportunity is given for an expansion.

Its a school that holds values and beliefs of being an Australian.
This is an Islamic school that adds Multicultralism is our society. Multicultural schools offer a range of benefits that go beyond just academic learning. Here are a few key ones:

1. **Cultural Awareness and Tolerance**: Students learn about different cultures, traditions, and beliefs, fostering mutual respect and understanding. This helps reduce stereotypes and biases.

2. **Global Perspective**: Students grow up with a broader worldview, which is essential in our increasingly globalized world. They develop empathy and a deeper appreciation for diversity.

3. **Social Skills**: Interacting with peers from different backgrounds helps students build stronger communication and conflict resolution skills. They learn to navigate diverse social situations with sensitivity.

without multicultural schools in the state how are we all to believe that we are all accepted and welcome?

There are already several public schools in the area that are larger than this one, so I don't see any reason for objection. The school is taking all necessary steps to minimize any disruption to its surroundings. Many families are eager to send their children here, and with this expansion, the school will be better equipped to serve both its students and the community. I strongly support this expansion and hope the school is permitted to move forward with the proposed plan.

Every child has the opportunity to partake in quality and fulfilling education despite cultural differences and beliefs. Expanding an school will provide multiple opportunities for all students in ensuring they receive the best teaching and learning resources to support their future aspirations.

This is a school that upholds the values and qualities of being an Australian. There is a need for expansion due to the volume of students wanting to attend this private school due to its valuable education. Being an Islamic school it does nothing but enhance our beautiful multicultural communities.
