result in any unreasonable environmental impacts for the reasons outlined in the
report to the Local Planning Panel.

objectives of B4 Mixed Use zone pursuant to the Sydney Local Environmental Plan
2012, in that in will regularise and appropriately manage the existing place of
public worship, and therefore will maintain a use that supports the viability
of the centre and will encourage public transport use, walking and cycling.
(C)
The development is generally consistent with the
objectives and controls that apply to the site under the Sydney Local
Environmental Plan 2012 and the Sydney Development Control Plan 2012.
(D)
For the reasons above and as outlined in the
report to the Local Planning Panel, the proposed development is in the public
interest, subject to conditions.
(E)
The inclusion of a column to Table 1 specifying
the occurrence and frequency of each prayer type in the Plan of Management is
to make expected usage clear to neighbours and interested stakeholders.
(F)
Condition 19 was added
so that the perimeter fence and gates are redesigned in a manner appropriate to
the existing building and the neighbourhood. The masonry chimneys were not
included in the plans submitted and Condition 19 specifies that the chimneys are not to be removed.
Carried unanimously.
