Letter to Council from Concerned Resident

City of Gosnells
P O Box 662
GOSNELLS WA 6990
Attention: City Planning Administration

Dear Sir / Madam

Re: Amendment No.75 to Town Planning Scheme No.6

Please find enclosed a copy of a letter that was distributed around the immediate area surrounding the vacant land, and development sites adjacent to Forrest Lakes Shopping Precinct.

Total number of letters distributed - 450.

The reasons for distribution being:

* To draw to the attention of the residents in the immediate area, the intentions of Gosnells City Council, the Owner of the land, and the Developer.
* To provide information to those in a wider area surrounding Forrest Lakes Shopping Precinct than that of the Gosnells City Council’s own distribution letters dated 10th July 2007 and 13th July 2007.
* Distribution notices by Gosnells City Council (dated above) provided little information regarding this important Amendment proposal.
* During distribution and talking to some local residents, it was found that many people had no notification from Gosnells City Council regarding the above proposed Amendment, and therefore, had no knowledge.
* It was felt necessary, because of the importance of such a proposal, that the Gosnells City Council should have been obligated to draw comment and/or objections from all Forest Lakes and Thornlie residents.
* It is hoped that Gosnells City Council will consider in the future, taking comment and/or objections from a wider spectrum of the community.
* This letter is provided for your information.

Thank you for your attention regarding this matter.
