The decision was handed down on March 28 by Court Commissioner Joanne Gray after the development was deemed “acceptable having regard to the absences of adverse impacts, the objectives of the zone and the character of the area.” The Hills Shire Mayor Peter Gangemi says the verdict to approve the mosque by the court is short sighted. “The State Government talks about putting locals first and including them in the decision making process, but this outcome just proves how out of touch they are with local community issues,” Mayor Gangemi said. “This proposal fails to adequately deal with the RU6 Transition Zone objectives, as well as the noise, traffic and parking this type of development will generate. It also has little regard to the rural landscape and will unacceptably impact on the natural environment, as well as the neighbouring properties located within the quiet cul-de-sac. “It’s unsatisfactory that our rural land is being exploited in this way because it’s a cheaper alternative to building on urban zoned land - the more appropriate location for a development of this size. “The outcome could have been prevented if the Department of Planning allowed Council to stop this sort of development in our RU6 Transition Zone much earlier on in the process. "I'm calling on the Minister for Planning to cut the bureaucracy and let councils get on with looking after their own local planning matters.” Gangemi says his issue is not with places of public worship, but the location of the mosque. “Given the intensity and scale, Council wanted to see this type of development located in our urbanised areas – where there is adequate pedestrian access, public transport, roads and a sewer network," he says. "We have attempted to meet with the applicant on a number of occasions to discuss alternative sites, however, they've remained unchanged in their decision and adamant on this site.” Hills Shire Councillor and former Friends of Glenhaven Chairperson Mitchell Blue says the requests of the local community have fallen on deaf ears. “Glenhaven residents spoke as one on this issue," he says. "Residents agreed that the site was not conducive to a place of public worship, due to the scale and intensity that this facility will bring. Time after time, the applicant was provided with opportunities to amend plans and details to make this facility fit. "I do not believe this facility is in keeping with the land zone objectives and intentions. This decision by the Court is in stark contrast to the thousand plus submissions from the Glenhaven community and that is highly disappointing.” Gangemi says residents should be thanked for their support, and that Council will look to ensure further urbanisation of rural areas within the shire will be prevented. "I thank residents for their submissions during the DA process and their efforts in highlighting the many issues this proposal has,” he says. “It's disheartening that Council is unable to be the consent authority on developments over $5 million as a result of State Government imposed planning panels, but we have sought to find alternative solutions to protecting our rural lands. “In 2020, we were successful at prohibiting places of public worship in our RU6 Transition Zone thanks to changes that were approved as part of our Local Environmental Plan (LEP). “While the Larapinta Place DA was lodged before these changes were implemented, this Council has continued to work hard and campaign successfully against urban sprawl in our rural areas, and this is not limited to places of public worship, but also seniors living.” The approval to demolish a number of existing structures and works were also given the green light as part of the Court’s decision. An updated Plan of Management and Traffic Management Plan were submitted to address requirements of the judgement.

behind it What was once a home with a big wrapping deck is now just rebar and foundation, a twisted bedframe, burned-out barbecue and other appliances sticking out of the rubble — a casualty of the Glenhaven Fire that started Friday in the hills off Harvey Boulevard in Lake County’s Glenhaven and spread east “It’s crazy to see it like this,” said District 3 County Supervisor Eddie Crandell who’d once taken campaign pictures on the deck He was there now to help collect the seven dogs penned nearby fire crews continued to work the area putting out hot spots They’d already dumped a whole load of water on the property said Chase Weirshauser with Cal Fire out of Kelsey-Cobb “there wasn’t a whole lot that could have been done” to save the house “without putting (crews) in danger.” But while that home was lost, many were spared, in large part thanks to heavy ground and air resources, said Cal Fire spokesperson Jason Clay. Cal Fire assigned 315 personnel 15 water tenders and 20 crews to the blaze “The crews did amazing when you look at the potential here,” Lake County Fire District Chief William Sapeta said Defensible space around many of the at-risk properties helped The fire spread quickly Friday afternoon threatening over 2,500 structures and forcing evacuation orders for more than 3,000 people in the communities of Glenhaven although Clay said damage inspection was ongoing Saturday Edward Rivas-Duke surveyed the damage for a friend and neighbor who’d also lost property The ridgetop home in Clearlake Oaks still stood but the windows were blown out and most everything inside destroyed Rivas-Duke had been in Lakeport running errands when he got a call that his own house was at risk “My

or wait until spring but there will be more competition if they wait “There is a lot of positive media with APRA making recommendations to the bank more talk of an interest rate drop and a First

Geoff and James Good from Glenhaven Dairy Farm in Kangaroo Valley with reserve champion heifer Faith at the Kangaroo Valley Show Photo by Jess Long.Jill Good and her husband Geoff are fourth generation dairyfarmers but they are quickly coming to the realisation there  is no road ahead for the next generation in the dairy industry All articles from our website & appThe digital version of This Week's PaperBreaking news alerts direct to your inboxAll articles from the other agricultural news sites in your areaContinueMrs Good has sent an emotional letter about the stress and the difficulties the Good family are going through at their Kangaroo Valley Glenhaven dairy A couple of their five children were considering going on the land but now having seen the stress that the drought and low milk prices have caused they have shelved that idea. The Holstein stud gets by selling heifers overseas but even there they have had to take a 30 per cent price cut They’ve won ribbons at shows and Mrs Good’s father and grandfather have shown dairy cattle at Sydney Royal But this generation of Goods can’t afford to take show cows to Sydney Royal And it’s not surprising things are tough when they spend 75 per cent of their farm income on fodder They’ve applied for fodder relief a month ago but have heard nothing back “I guess there must be a big line up,” Mrs Good laments a group of local business people have set up the Kangaroo Valley Ag Support Fund which they are running through the Valley’s Lions Club Mr Barker said it was this on-the ground support which was making a difference to local farmers They’ve heard that their contractor Lion may increase the farmgate dairy price by 10 cents a litre but nothing official has  arrived in the mail We cannot source feed for our cattle and our normal avenues of fodder are out of our reach financially and geographically.  “Our estimate is that at least 75% of our farm income is being eaten up by fodder costs when in normal times that might be around 35% of our farm income We are feeding concentrates and bi products in an attempt to keep our dairy cattle healthy We cannot afford to purchase hay at present however the real issue is milk price.Ten years ago when we settled in Kangaroo Valley we were paid 56c per litre and since that time our milk price has been reduced to 49c Dairy farmers' standard of living has decreased due to supermarket and manufacturing forces driving the value of our product to historical lows We have been forced to milk more cows on the same acreage and this in turn puts great pressure on our pastures this is all without taking into consideration our current climatic conditions “For farmers who often work 7 days a week at all hours the constant struggle with debt and keeping up with bills can take a mental toll on them and I for one as a partner work hard to keep the family mentally and emotionally on top of things Every year when we recontract our milk price we plead to our milk company for an extra few cents however we find we are just small voices who cannot make a difference in the face of supermarkets and multi national companies The current drought conditions just help to further deepen our plight but if these combined circumstances continue to prevail dairy farmers in Kangaroo Valley and indeed nation wide will be closing their dairies for good and as a nation we will be much poorer for it.” Newsletters & AlertsView allDaily Today's top stories curated by our news team Our twice weekly wrap of the latest in rural property sales Our twice
