(1) (a) is a BAHA'I Temple being built in Weston Creek; and (b) if so, where?
(2) When was planning approval given and were local residents consulted?
(3) What access and egress points will be available for users?
Mr Wood - the answer to the Member's question is as follows:
(1) (a) the Spiritual Assembly of the BAHA'Is has submitted a formal application for the construction of a BAHA'I Temple in Weston Creek. (b) It is proposed to construct the temple on Blocks 9 and 12 Section 83 Weston.
(2) Planning approval has been given for carparks, hydraulic services and landscaping and for a small shed on the site. Approval for the carparks, hydraulic services and landscaping was given on 5 April 1993 and for the site shed on 9 February 1994. The applicant has not yet submitted formal plans for the actual temple building.
Local residents were not consulted as the plans submitted were in accordance with the Land Use Policy of the site and within the Design and Siting Policies of the Territory Plan. The Land Use Policy of the site is Broadacre which allows community facilities to be built.
(3) Access points will be available only from Hickey Court. There will be no access or egress from Cotter Road.
