With muslim community continue to grow we deserve more support and facilities to make sure we look after ourselves and our families and kids and we provide the community with good well educated islamic generation and respectful for his background and beliefs as well

I’m reaching out to express my full support for the proposed expansion project at Malek Fahd. As I genuinely cares about the future of our children, I believe this expansion is more than necessary—it's essential for both the school’s growth and the development of our community.

Our area has seen serious growth over the past few years, and naturally, that means we need more educational resources. Malek Fahd has always delivered top-notch education, but it's clear that the current facilities aren’t keeping up with the rising number of students.
The expansion plan will bring in extra classrooms, upgraded facilities, and better learning spaces—all critical to keeping our kids on track academically. Beyond just helping the students, this expansion has broader benefits: more programs, extracurriculars, and support services to prepare our kids for future success. Plus, the construction will create jobs, for the community and local businesses and give the local economy a much-needed boost in the short term.
Other schools, have gone through similar expansions without facing resistance from their communities. So, it's only fair that Malek Fahd receives the same consideration from the Hills Shire Council.
I strongly urge you to back this project. It’s a golden opportunity to invest in the success of both our kids and our community. Let’s keep Malek Fahd a key pillar of the area for generations to come.
Thank you for your time and support. I’m looking forward to seeing this project become a reality.

The submission has been removed from publication due to potentially defamatory content, however the Department in assessing and making any recommendations in relation to this State significant development application will take into consideration such of the submission that is of relevance.

Malek Fahd is located within a local suburban area. The closest metro stations are Rouse Hill (2.5 km away) and Kellyville (3.8 km away) and is currently linked to the already congested Withers Road.

Additionally, several schools are located within 1 km of Malek Fahd. These include Beaumont Hills Public (on Parkway Drive, which exceeded the 2024 student cap by 20 students) then the Lady of the Angels Primary School, Rouse Hill Highschool (which exceeded its 2024 student cap by 367 students), and Ironbark Ridge (which exceeded its 2024 cap by 497 students), all of which are situated on Withers road.

The lack of planning and infrastructure in the surrounding area and the influx of students and the subsequent impact on the local community are of significant concerns.

If the middle island on Mungerie Rd was to remain this would mean traffic would be entering travelling from Withers Road. This setup could cause traffic to back up down Mungerie Road (which already happens). Additionally, cars travelling down Mungerie Road towards the Withers Road roundabout will have to turn around, entering an already congested one-lane roundabout, further exacerbating the issue (which already happens)

Currently there is no provision or option of extra lanes due to power poles located along the side of Mungerie Rd across from Malek Fahd. I personally have issue regarding the increase of student numbers and the associated building work until local infrastructure has been upgraded for this demand.

It’s very important for the community living there

The school has been serving the community for a long time. The number of students who are welling to join is increasing, and the school needs to accommodate this increase. It also serves to reduce the traffic at the area.

There is growing population of Muslims in hills shire and faith-based schooling is in high demand, Malek Fahad need to upgrade their facilities to accommodate new students as well as provide modern facilities to current students. I fully support the expansion project and would love for it to get approved.

I strongly object to the proposed expansion of Malek Fahd School. The surrounding road infrastructure is not able to support the current level of traffic being generated by the school during pick-up and drop-off times. Cars park illegally on Brampton Dr and Parkway Dr causing dangerous visual obstructions and forcing other vehicles to have to cross to the incorrect side of the road to pass. The increase in student numbers will bring more vehicles into an already small suburb, creating dangerous conditions for residents & students alike. Local roads will be used as "rat-runs", and compromise the existing peace and quiet of the suburb.

I also feel that given my proximity to the school, the proposed earthworks and construction noise will negatively affect my family's quality of life. Beaumont Hills is an established, small knit suburb. I moved here as I did not want to live in an area which was being developed.

Finally, the proposed expansion and development will not fit in with the suburb's aesthetics. The neighbourhood is almost exclusively residential homes, and a 3 storey building will adversely impact the social & community aspect of the neighbourhood & surrounding homes.

There are already several large schools in the immediate area, and traffic problems are currently severe. Beaumont Hills was a planned suburb which was never designed to accommodate such a large school development in addition to the existing schools.

Dear Sir or Madame,
I am writing to express my strong support for the proposed expansion project at Malek Fahd. As a father of 1 children and an advocate for the future of our children, I believe that this expansion is not only necessary but vital for the continued growth and success of both the school and the surrounding area.

Our community has undeniably experienced significant growth in recent years, and with that growth comes the need for expanded educational resources. Malek Fahd has consistently demonstrated its commitment to providing high-quality education, but it is becoming increasingly clear that the existing facilities are no longer sufficient to meet the needs of our growing student population.
The proposed expansion would provide additional classrooms, updated facilities, and enhanced learning spaces, which are critical for the continued academic success of our children.

The expansion will not only benefit students but also provide economic and social advantages to the community. With an expanded facility, the school will be able to offer more programs, extracurricular activities, and support services, which will better prepare our students for success in higher education and the workforce. Additionally, this project will create jobs and contribute to the local economy through construction and subsequent operations on the short term.

I have seen similar schools such as the Anglican College applying similar expansions to cater for increased students without experiencing intimidation from the community members, that’s why I believe Malek Fahd is entitled to the same treatment from the Hills Shire Council.

I urge you to support this important expansion project. It is an opportunity for us to provide our children with the resources they need to succeed while ensuring that Malek Fahd remains a cornerstone of our community for years to come.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your support in making this project a reality.

Sincerely

The school is serving a growing number of students and needs new facilities and buildings to accommodate them. Expanding the school will provide a better learning environment, improve access to essential resources, and support both academic and extracurricular activities. Investing in new construction ensures that students have the space and tools they need to succeed, fostering a brighter future for our community.
