The position re this project developed by our organization is represented in the Introduction of the submission and indicates that
BVF has concluded that the SCCH Project in its current form identified in the Environmental Impact Statement [EIS] cannot satisfy the demand for reasonable standards of urban village development compatible with acceptable urban village development, the character and appropriate future of St Georges Basin.

I object based on the following
- the project is not in line with current community expectations for the area
- the project will create additional traffic problems and extra burden on an already stretched medical and allied health System in the area
- there is a lack of services available in the area for people living in this style of accomodation
- there are already jobs problems we do not need more
- this style of housing next to a licensed pub is inappropriate
- medium density social and affordable housing isn’t ideal. Spread these out so socially the people don’t all clump together

Whilst I am supportive of affordable housing for people to purchase and/or rent, I do have some concerns, questions and objections.
1. I think a boarding house is unrealistic in this area. The boarders would be isolated from any services or employment and the public transport available is inadequate if they have to travel for work or services.
2. We have a shortage of G.P's at the moment, with at least 3 weeks wait in some cases, without increasing the population significantly. This area has a high percentage of elderly/retired residents, so the doctors here are regularly booked out.
3. I am concerned that if the housing for purchase does not sell, will that housing then be allocated to Social Housing and therefore increasing the percentage of Social Housing in the development? It has been shown in the past that a large grouping of Social Housing leads to crime and an unpleasant environment for the area and surrounding suburbs.
4. With an ageing population in this area, people need to be able to access the shopping centre and medical centre carpark and I have concerns with the lack of proposed parking in the development planning. If the development residents have inadequate parking allocated, they or their visitors, will park in the IGA and Medical Centre carpark, therefore making it difficult for people to access the shops and Drs. I believe developments should allow a minimum of 2 allocated parking bays for each residence and adequate visitor parking.
5. I am opposed to the planning of a 3 storey unit block. I think 2 stories is more suitable, as there are double storey houses in the area, therefore keeping in line with the 'village atmosphere'.
6. Lastly, the area zoned for a 'park' is laughable and a token gesture. I doubt there will be enough room for play equipment or for children to play. If there is to be a park, please allocate more space and provide a decent area for families.

Whilst the first job of every Government is to protect its citizens, the NSW Government’s totally fudged - RenewaBULL Electricity Infrastructure Roadmap & Federal ‘Future Made in Australia’ agenda are the antithesis of this as it is NOT based on:
Electrical Engineering Facts
Scientific Rigour
Integrity or
Ethics.
ROMANI BESS will NEVER provide:
Grid Stability
Energy Security or Reliability as RENEWABULL ENERGY DEPENDS ON THE WEATHER, IS NEVER AVAILABLE ON DEMAND, DOESN’T WORK MOST OF THE TIME & DOES NOT PROVIDE VITAL SYNCHRONOUS INERTIA - SO ESSENTIAL TO STABILISE THE GRID.
Neither will it provide:
Food Security
Economic Prosperity
Productivity
Genuine Protection of Biodiversity or National Security
Where is the Reputable, Independent, Expert Electrical Engineering Advice to prove the claims of this plan as the dodgy CSIRO’s widely debunked GENCOST Report is basis of the ROTTEN REGULATOR’S ISP that IS:
•NOT Independent
•Not Fit For Purpose
•An Unmitigated Disaster
•Fatally Compromised
•DEAD & BURIED!
ECONOMIC LICENCE HAS BEEN FORGED
**”The idea that adding more & more renewable energy to the grid pushes power prices down has been comprehensively dismissed”
IT’S ALL PAIN & NO GAIN FOR AUSTRALIA AS ENERGY POVERTY RENEWABULLS ARE THE ASBESTOS OF THE FUTURE!
Where is the Determination of the irreversible TOXIC Contamination - the Public Health & Safety Risks of poisoning our land & Water forever - including Hazardous BESS Chemicals, Bis-FASI PFAS, industrialised Solar’s Heavy Metals, & PFOS, Toxic Bisphenol A & ASBESTOS from Wind SWINDLE FACTORIES?
Reputable, independent DETERMINATION OF RenewaBULL ENERGY POVERTY & RENEWABULLS ARE THE ASBESTOS OF THE FUTURE requires an IMMEDIATE MORATORIUM, REPUTABLE, INDEPENDENT, PEER REVIEWED SCIENTIFIC DETERMINATION & A ROYAL COMMISSION.
Three things are clear about the diabolical NSW Electricity (‘Renewable’) Infrastructure Roadmap :
👉🏻Many landscapes will never be the same;
👉🏻Our life-sustaining soil & water will be contaminated;
👉🏻Electricity will become far more expensive and much less reliable;
👉🏻None of this will alter the climate and
👉🏻Australia’s Electricity Grid will be under the Control of our most Hostile Enemy - the Chinese Communist Party.
As Patricia Adams so aptly states in China's Energy Dream -
“Carbon dioxide reduction only makes sense for those China wishes to harm & supplant."
https://www.thegwpf.org/content/uploads/2021/12/Adams-Chinas-Energy-Dream.pdf
With 46.56% owned controlled ElectraNet/TransGrid’s sabotaging Project Energy Connect & Solar/Wind & Battery components predominantly reliant on unethical Slave Labour supply chain, PFAS Contaminating components from China - that can be remotely disabled & made to overheat & catch Fire🔥- there are NO benefits whatsoever from Samsung C&T’s UNETHICAL, NATIONAL SECURITY SABOTAGING China Reliant BESS Disaster that will be sourced from OUR MOST HOSTILE ENEMY - THE CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY.
It’s glaringly obvious that:
👉🏻’Renewables’ are a Trojan Horse for Socialism masquerading as Environmentalism”
👉🏻Weather dependent stuff – CANNOT deliver power on demand – but guarantees BLACKOUTS - Economic Misery, Environmental Destruction and Community Disruption.
According to the most credible Electrical Engineering Experts this BESS plan & the fudged NSW RenewaBull Electricity Infrastructure Roadmap - orchestrated by the dodgy Climate Change Authority Chair - who was previously the Coalition’s NSW Energy Minister & Treasurer - along with his fellow carpetbagging Fake Green Gravy Train ideologues ie. his Energy Policy Director & Executive Director Energy Office of Energy and Climate Change - can only be described as SHAMBOLIC POLICY MAKING, DANGEROUS TO GRID OPERATION & TOTALLY MAD!
THIS IS AN INCESTUOUS, FAKE GREEN SWAMP OF PREDATORS & PARASITES - PEDALLING THEIR MARKET MANIPULATING, CCP PRIORITISING, GLOBAL ELECTRIFICATION - ASEAN POWER GRID AGENDA - AGAINST THE BEST INTERESTS OF AUSTRALIA & THE GREATER GOOD.
WHERE IS THE NSW GOVERNMENT'S LEGISLATED POLICY TO POISON THE PEOPLE - by POISONING OUR LIFE SUSTAINING SOIL & WATER WITH TOXIC RenewaBULLs - THE ASBESTOS OF THE FUTURE - because that's exactly what they are doing & they know it!
Where is their LEGISLATED TARGET to DELIBERATELY TURN OUR LIMITED, IRREPLACEABLE AGRICULTURAL LAND INTO TOXIC CONTAMINATED WASTELAND DURING OPERATION from this life threatening, EXTREMELY FIRE HAZARDOUS TOXIC LITHIUM ION ROMANI BATTERY, INDUSTRIALISED SOLAR & WIND SWINDLE FACTORY PURVEYORS OF POISON - INCLUDING PFAS FOREVER CHEMICALS..
The Gov & IPCN know full well that this is the inevitable, irreversible outcome yet all we see is the dodgy Developers conspiring with the Government planners to now add OR ANOTHER LAND-USE as AGREED between the Landowner & Applicant or Regulator & OBJECTING COUNCILS cursed with the BURDEN of these RISKY MORAL HAZARD EXPERIMENTS - where FAILURE IS A DESIGN FEATURE - is NOT A PRACTISE this CRUEL, TORTUROUS, DECEITFUL Government can continue to condone with their stitched-up Approvals.

Romani BESS is an outrageous Swindle - designed to be controlled by our most hostile enemy & sabotage the Grid, to rip off consumers by manipulating the market, pushing out local competitors, inflating electricity prices, and warping generation planning across entire regions.
