Please comment ...

Hi I am asking for your opinion/feedback as residents and ratepayers.

Recently I received a letter from staff advising me of Amendment No. 75 to TPS No.6, this amendment is "... Modify the boundary of the Local Open Space Reserve on Towncentre Drive, Thornlie and rezone a portion of Lot 9005 Towncentre Drive, Thornlie from "Residential R30" and "District Centre" to "Residential R80".

Firstly I would like to say that it is ridiculous to propose a R80 zone in this area, but I will discuss this matter at a later date.

My first concern is the amendment to modify the boundary, I say NO, but then again it has already happened!!

We have houses being built, and houses already built on land currently zoned as Local Open Space, how can this be, you ask? I would like to hear your opinion on this, either by commenting on this post, or send me an email to webyter@gmail.com.

I would like to note that the meetings of 13th April 1999 and 13th July 1999, give a partial answer to how this situation has occurred, and I hope that you will take the time to look into this matter and advise me of your thoughts.

The main point I am trying to point out is that we the public are being asked to comment on this amendment to modify the boundary, after the event, and no it is not a simple mapping error that needs to be corrected, the minutes I have previously mentioned clearly point this out.

I look forward to hearing your spin on this situation, would you be interested in signing a petition to stop the rezoning?
