The great people at Kogarah council

Hello everyone,

I took a half day off work and have been down to council premises at 84 Railway Pde Kogarah. They are very helpful people who are interested in helping affected residents and the proprietor of Artichoke Pizza.

I have been told (verbally not in writing) that council has powers to ensure the activities of 6 The Strand Penshurst or Artichoke Pizza do not impact residents negatively. There are clauses in the Development Application that must be adhered to pertaining the impacts of business activity on external parties namely local residents in the smoke discharge zone.

We MUST voice our concerns to council on an ongoing basis especially when smoke events occur. I have spoken with many of you and there appears to be eight of us that are significantly impacted.

One suggestion has been to draft a template letter or a few different templates noting the various negative impacts of the effluent from wood burning activity  and when these events occur, we must write in to council to make them aware and they can follow up regards firstly compliance and secondly alternative arrangements that would bring long term relief to affected residents.

Thank you all.

Best Regards
Mark Koscak
