I came home yesterday afternoon (Monday 16 Feb) and the grass area at the back of the Spence Community Centre has been graded and I believe a car park is going in. There has been no community consultation and having a house in the area I would like some information as to what is actually happening.

I have contacted the government and helpful people are looking in to it for me but it appears this was done without approval.

I believe that the car park has been extended to cater for the new mosque. More info about the Islamic Society of Belconnen – Spence Mosque here if you are interested in joining or learning more.

I am fairly certain that planning permission must have been granted as there is now parking and cars coming and going up until 11:30 PM on weeknights as well as weekends.
