The issue

The iconic site of the former Kogarah Golf Club is under threat from large-scale industrial development plans. The proposed construction of a data centre and mega-logistics facility represents considerable risks to our local environment, community character, and quality of life.

Kogarah and its surrounding areas have long been celebrated for their green spaces and community-centric environment. The conversion of this land into an industrial hub not only jeopardizes these values but also poses significant environmental concerns. Data centres are known to require substantial energy resources which can contribute to increased carbon emissions. Coupled with mega-logistics development, these plans could drastically increase traffic congestion, noise pollution, and strain local infrastructure beyond its limits.

Furthermore, the community health implications are grave. Increased air and noise pollution can lead to respiratory problems, elevated stress levels, and a general decline in our quality of life. Residents deserve to feel secure about their environment without the looming threat of industrial encroachment.

We urge our local government and decision-makers to reconsider these plans and explore alternative solutions that prioritize sustainability, community well-being, and the preservation of green spaces. Possible solutions could include developing community parks, recreational facilities, or maintaining portions of the land as wildlife reserves.

By signing this petition, you're not just protecting a piece of land. You are standing up for the character, health, and future of Kogarah. Let's preserve the integrity of our community for future generations. Please sign this petition to stop the data centre and mega-logistics development on the former Kogarah Golf Club site.
