Point Cook, a rapidly growing suburb in Melbourne, is facing a major concern with the proposed construction of a mosque in our community. While we respect the religious and cultural diversity that enriches Australia, constructing a large religious facility in our residential area poses many challenges that must be considered.

**Firstly**, the infrastructure of Point Cook is already under significant strain. With constant traffic congestion and inadequate public transport options, the addition of a large religious facility would exacerbate these existing issues. Our roads and public amenities are not equipped to handle the increased influx of people and vehicles that such a facility would inevitably attract, especially during peak religious events.

**Secondly**, the location proposed for the mosque is predominantly residential, which raises valid concerns about noise pollution, parking availability, and disruptions to the peaceful neighborhood environment that many of us chose Point Cook for. Residents are entitled to enjoy their homes without the intrusion of excessive noise and traffic.

Moreover, **community consultations regarding this project have been minimal**, leaving many residents feeling that their voices and concerns have not been adequately heard or considered. An important project of this nature should involve extensive community dialogue to ensure that it meets the needs and welfare of all residents. Having a mosque in Point Cook will have a significant impact on local community and it's demography.

We urge the local council and planning authorities to reconsider the location of this project and opt for a more suitable area that can better accommodate such a facility without compromising our community's wellbeing.

Please sign this petition to demand that the proposed mosque at Point Cook 3030 be reconsidered, ensuring that the area's infrastructure, environment, and the voices of its residents are respected and protected.
