This proposal is far more than just a place of worship— as it may have been initially perceived by some in the local community. It is a thoughtfully designed, community-centred space dedicated to unity, learning, healing, and the well-being of future generations.
The project offers a holistic range of services, including yoga, meditation, wellness programs, language workshops, and free meals for vulnerable Australians. Remarkably, approximately two-thirds of the land is devoted to organic farming and sustainability, making it not only a cultural and spiritual hub but also an environmental one.
This visionary initiative will serve as a role model for future developments, showing how we can protect the Green Wedge, honour the rural character of our area, and promote spiritual and harmonious values—all at once.
Let’s come together to support a space that nurtures the soul, respects the land, and brings our diverse community together.
We respectfully request approval to build a Hindu place of worship on the designated site. This land belongs to a Hindu trust and holds deep cultural and spiritual significance for our community.
This proposed space is not just for religious practice—it will also serve as a center for yoga, spiritual learning, meditation, and community wellbeing. It will be a place where people can find peace, strength, and support through various cultural and spiritual activities.
We kindly urge you to grant us permission to build this sacred space for the benefit of our community and future generations.
Something really has to be done about this. I remember a few years ago I was in the middle of a year 11 computing SAC, and I couldn't focus AT ALL. All I could hear was the absolute ruckus being caused by two amorous pigeons going at it in the walls... There must be an entire community in there by now. An entire generation of helpess feathered creatures that have been forced to live inside those walls their lives. Restricted, confined, condemned to live out their days in their asbestos lined brick prison. Won't somebody think of the children. If action isn't taken, it just won't be the current pigeons affected, but all future avian offspring will be damned to incarceration in this dank, desolate dry wall box till the day they die.
As an owner of a pet pigeon, I can speak firsthand on the intelligence and love that pigeons have. They all deserve their right to live, just as we people do.
The pigeons in the walls have proved a nuisance since my time in year 7 at AHS when it's loud and obnoxious flapping sounds interrupted and distracted my health class from our common assessment task. This resulted in poor academic performance from both myself and my classmates. As a current year 9 student, I support the push for this issue to be resolved as it is compromising the academic achievements of our AHS students and promoting cruelty to animals to those within our community.
Pigeons are lovely, intelligent, compassionate animals. They shouldn’t be dying due to cruel inaction. Students deserve better than hearing animals starving to death in their walls while attempting to learn.
I struggled with mental health all last year. I know I would rather my best friend cry on my shoulder than kill himself. This petition should make it so that mental health is more heavily recognized.
Helens reserves is in direct need of a dog watering station. Others have asked for yeas only to be pushed back. It's impractical for owners to bring their own water bottles, quite heavy and next to impossible to carry for older owners.
One of my worst observations is that the water initially poured into huge buckets sitting around the park begins to collect lots of bacteria from an endless number of dogs who have no choice but to drink there.
It becomes filthy and quite unhygienic. It's difficult enough to keep our own dog bowls reasonable ok with only a few drinks from one or two dogs.
