PRESIDENT’S REPORT
Proposed
Developments
By Judy Pope
The judging is now complete for the Western Sydney Awards for
Business Excellence (WSABE).
I helped judge one of the categories and the diversity
and talents of the entrants was inspiring. The
finalist’s lunch was held at Peppers Stadium in Penrith.
The Penrith Panthers being one of the sponsors were
at the pre lunch bowls on the oval and they were quite
impressive as well. The Gala Awards Ceremony will be
held at the Waterview, Homebush Bay on Friday the 14th August.
We had our own Chamber meeting last night as well and it was held at the
Dural Country Club. Guests Freddy and Shady Mikhael from JC Constructions
were invited along to let members know about the new Cascades development
on Old Northern Rd just before the Dural Post Office. Shady Mickhael gave
members a good overview of what is planned for the site and was happy to
answer questions afterwards. In a nutshell it won’t be a huge development but
definitely very tasteful and complementary to the area. There will be 17 luxury
apartments, top end restaurants, medical centre, child care centre and coffee
lounge all with a water feature running through and a lake at one end.
The other matter discussed last night was the proposed change of use for
268-278 New Line Rd, Dural to incorporate retail shops and a supermarket.
This land falls right in the middle of existing bulky goods and commercial zoned
premises. The Chamber submitted a response to Hornsby Council on behalf of
its members citing that it would support further needed commercial and bulky
goods development but did not support another supermarket and retail shops.
The reasons being the current traffic chaos needs to be rectified first. Also the
Cascades development, pending South Dural rezoning, rezoning already gone
through on land adjacent Stonelea Court all have significant retail planned.
