Friends of Oatley Inc - No Coles Supermarket for Oatley

It appears that our Council is trying to divide our community, which to date, has been strong in fighting developments that are inappropriate. Council’s current proposal to shift the Peakhurst Ward boundary will directly affect Oatley West residents.

At present, all Oatley West residents are in the Peakhurst Ward. With the changes however, those residents in the area bounded by Mulga Rd, Gungah Bay Rd, Boundary Rd and River Rd will be moved to the Penshurst Ward.

Regardless of which side of Mulga Rd you live, this change will weaken Oatley West residents’ ability to effectively lobby council on development issues, thereby fragmenting our community’s people power (with future plans in Mulga Rd believed to be 3-storey developments) .
Will Peakhurst Ward Councillors speak up for Penshurst Ward? And vice versa?

Object to the proposal by writing to: The General Manager,
Hurstville City Council,
PO Box 205, Hurstville BC 1481.

Submissions need to be received by Friday, 30 June.

A group of residents in Oatley have felt it necessary to take the step to becoming an incorporated body due to our concerns about the over-development taking place in Oatley West especially the shopping strip along Mulga Road.

Objectives: The objective of ORAO is to provide a forum for evaluative discussion of developments in order to preserve and enhance the character and general well-being of the social and environmental milieu of Oatley.

Activities: Discussion, considered and focused thought, political lobbying and earnest endeavour, function as a lobby group; a voice for residents. Take actions in accordance with objectives.
