“Meet Your Neighbour – The New North

Lakes Community”

(The Excitement is Building) – Sign post of 1999

When in 1999 – Mango Hill Progress Association welcomed the first residents of the new North Lakes Community next door, the
marketing blitz from Lend Lease that heralded the arrival of our first neighbours was based on the 3 significant attactions above.

Residents bought their land believing that they could rely on a Development Control Plan, approved by the State Government to
ensure that its commitments would be kept for not only current residents, but for all future residents.

Now in 2021, the confidence that the State Government will ensure that the conditions of this “Prospectus” will be honoured, is
being seriously questioned.

In order to achieve their ultimate goal of obtaining Development Approval for an Aged Care Facility, the new owners of the land
are intent on a strategy of “divide and conquer”. Should they be successful in their bid for a school site, the outcome will be to
destroy the environmental integrity of the entire golf course corridor by cutting off flora and fauna and overland water flow
throughout the greenbelt. They would then embark on their goal of constructing an Aged Care Factility.

With narrow streets and compacted allotments on its perimeter, the very “heart” of the North Lakes community will be “opened
up” through the noise and dust pollution of a building construction of multiple projects (School, Aged Care homes and potentially
other construtions) and invade the sector around existing houses. Traffic congestion will replace the current freeflow of the daily
commute around Endeavour Boulevarde and quiet suburban streets. Lifestyle as residents knew it would be socially destroyed.

This is not what the “Company Prospectus” offered 1000’s of residents when they took the opportunity to move into North Lakes
to play their part in building a new society.

The Progress Association calls on the State Government Planning Department Minister, Steven Miles to deny any application by
the owners to re-zone a portion of the land on the North Lakes Golf Course for an educational facility.
