Such a project allows to increase the opportunity of enrolling my kids in a school of our choice and reduces the pressure on the public school. The school expansion would serve the increased number of students in this area who wants to join this type of schools.

I support the expansion of Malek fahd school as it serve my community by presenting an environment that is suitable to our kids and religion
Unfortunately, we are suffering finding free places to enrol our kids due to the limitation of number of classes there

Dear Department of Planning, Housing, and Infrastructure Team and Neighbours,

I am writing to formally express my concerns regarding the proposed expansion and redevelopment of Malek Fahd Islamic School, which is situated immediately adjacent to my residence in Beaumont Hills. While I understand the need for educational development, I am deeply concerned about the potential negative impacts this expansion will have on the local community, particularly in terms of traffic congestion, strain on infrastructure, noise levels, privacy, and changes to the suburban character of our neighbourhood.

1, Concerns Regarding Increased Traffic and Infrastructure Strain
The current infrastructure in Beaumont Hills is already under significant strain, particularly during morning and afternoon peak hours. Withers Road, which provides access to Malek Fahd Islamic School, is already experiencing high traffic volumes, and the proposed expansion will further exacerbate this issue. An increase in student enrolment, as well as additional school staff and parents commuting to the area, will result in further congestion, making it more difficult for local residents to travel efficiently.

Moreover, the expansion will introduce additional vehicle access points on Mungerie Road, further compounding traffic and safety risks. This is particularly concerning for the many young children in our community who walk or bike to school, as well as those who play in the area after school hours. Increased congestion and a higher number of vehicles in the vicinity will pose serious safety hazards, heightening the risk of accidents.

Additionally, the planned demolition and subsequent construction of new school buildings will generate excessive noise pollution over an extended period. Even after completion, a larger school facility will likely result in sustained higher noise levels, impacting the well-being of residents—especially young children and the elderly—who require a peaceful living environment.

2. Concerns Over Land Use Changes and Loss of Open Space
Beaumont Hills is known for its family-friendly, suburban character, with an abundance of parks, green spaces, and residential amenities that contribute to a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. The suburb was developed in the late 1990s and early 2000s as part of the northwest growth corridor and has already reached its capacity in terms of supporting existing infrastructure. Overdevelopment should be carefully managed to preserve the quality of life for current residents.

The proposed expansion includes the construction of multiple two- to three-story buildings, which would significantly alter the residential nature of the area. These taller buildings would inevitably impact privacy, as they could provide direct sightlines into the backyards and windows of neighbouring homes, infringing on the personal space of residents. The increased building height would also change the visual landscape, creating an imposing institutional presence in an area traditionally dominated by low-rise residential housing.

Furthermore, the expansion plan includes substantial landscaping modifications and tree removal, which threatens the green and nature-oriented character of the suburb. Green spaces not only contribute to the aesthetics of the area but also serve as essential recreational and environmental buffers that enhance community well-being. Removing these elements would diminish the overall liveability of the neighbourhood.

3, Request for Consideration
Given these concerns, I respectfully urge the Department of Planning, Housing, and Infrastructure to reject the proposed expansion and maintain the school at its current size. The existing infrastructure and community environment are already at capacity, and further development would place unnecessary strain on residents and local amenities.

While educational institutions are an essential part of any community, their expansion must be balanced with the needs and well-being of the residents who call this area home. I appreciate your attention to these concerns and look forward to a constructive dialogue regarding this matter.

I am writing to formally object to the proposed expansion of Malek Fahd Islamic school on the grounds that the current local infrastructure, particularly road access and transport facilities, is inadequate to support the increased student population. Mungerie rd is single lane, without curb and guttering, Withers Rd and Commerical Rd are also single lane. Local residents who are zoned in a specific public school region will be impacted from residents from all over Sydney accessing a private school.

The proposed development will place significant pressure on the existing road network, leading to congestion, safety risks, and restricted access for local residents. Many families in the area rely on these roads for daily commutes, including access to other local public schools. Without substantial upgrades to the surrounding infrastructure, the expansion will negatively impact traffic flow and pedestrian safety, particularly during peak school hours.

Additionally, the increased demand for parking and drop-off areas could exacerbate existing traffic bottlenecks, causing frustration and delays for both residents and school communities. The lack of sufficient planning for additional roads, public transport options, and pedestrian pathways raises concerns about the project's sustainability and its impact on the local community.

I urge the Department of Planning to reconsider the approval of this expansion until a comprehensive infrastructure plan is developed and implemented to ensure minimal disruption to residents and adequate access to local schools. The Hills Shire council has expanded in the last 20 years, the same level of zeal has not been placed into planning adequate infrastructure to ensure residents and the broader community can access the Hills.

The project is important for the community

We really need the extension due to the growing muslim community in the Hills area, lots of our children can't find a seat in the school due to limited spaces.

Our precious community is a low density residential area. Building 2-3 storeys in the premise is not allowed. Its too close proximity to ours and neighbours perimeter walls hence invading our privacy. This will encourage more students and with that alone will congest our streets and cause lots of traffic and create lots of noise during the week esp with the propose prayer hall or mosque all throughout the week. Therefore, I utterly object the project!

I have three children at the school. The school has a waiting list and huge potential to serve the growing population in the hills area.

this project is very important and will help the growing population in the area providing better school opportunities specially with the bad Rouse Hill Public High School being the only option if you're not Christian.

Hi There, on behalf of my family, we support the Malek Fahad school extension to serve the wider community who lives in Kellyville,North Kellyville, and Rouse Hill.
Thank you
