This file contains two items: 1/A printout of an article from the website of the Sydney Morning Herald, dated 18/09/2013 (albeit accessed on 28/01/2014), pertaining to the legal efforts on the part of Nicole and Eliezer Kornhauser to secure the rights to operate an (unnamed) Orthodox Jewish school out of their home at 8 Springfield Avenue, St. Kilda East. The Glen Eira City Council denied their application owing to complaints from neighbours pertaining to noise and traffic congestion associated with the facility. The decision was subsequently upheld by the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal. Thus, the Kornhausers have now taken their case to the Supreme Court. 2/A clipping of a newspaper article from The Age, dated 12/01/2014, pertaining to a conflict between Nicole and Eliezer Kornhauser and their neighbours. Said parties were already at odds with another, owing to the neighbours requesting that the Glen Eira City Council deny the Kornhausers permission to extend their facility owing to the aforementioned issues of noise and traffic congestion. But matters came to a head when the couple issued unsolicited death threats to local resident Jannine Gross and her husband – especially in the light of the Council electing to permit the extension after all. There is a discrepancy between the first and second items. The first item implies that the Kornhausers seek permission merely to operate their facility, whereas the second item implies that they seek permission to extend it.kornhauser family, kornhauser eliezer, kornhauser eric, kornhauser nicole, schools, religious structures and establishments, jewish community, legal events and activities, court procedures, vedelago chris, victorian civil and administrative tribunal (vcat), martin philip, springfield avenue, st. kilda east, mansions, merkos women program, resident action, gross jannine, pilling neil

Residents fear that if the zoning amendment is approved, they will lose their legal right to object or appeal future developments, particularly through VCAT (Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal).The contract associated with the rezoning allows residents to comment to the council but removes their ability to formally object or appeal. Residents are not opposed to development at Fortuna itself but are specifically worried about another parcel of land (View Street) and want to retain their right to have input on its future development. The proposal, submitted by owner Paul Banks, has been referred to an independent panel after receiving an objection with six signatories. One additional objection was later withdrawn. The developer, Paul Banks, expects a quick resolution and believes that state government and council support means the rezoning is likely to be approved regardless of objections.Fortuna Articles - "Residents share concerns over Fortuna debacle" Feb 14 2014 The Bendigo Advertiser by Emma-Jayne Schenk This item contains the following: 11217.52a Part of Page 7 - Fortuna Articles - "Residents share concerns over Fortuna debacle"non-fictionbendigo, fortuna, george lansell, paul banks owner fortuna

The article is about the Fortuna development zoning dispute. The opening of the Fortuna development could be delayed by up to two years if a zoning issue is not resolved quickly. The Greater Bendigo council referred the application to an independent panel after objections were raised about traffic, noise, and future development. Fortuna's owner, Paul Banks, is optimistic that the dispute will be resolved soon and may not require a panel hearing.If the matter proceeds to a panel, it could cost up to $1.2 million and cause significant delays. Objectors, represented by Rodney Purtill, are mainly concerned that the proposed Comprehensive Development Zone would remove residents' rights to object to future developments and appeal to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT). Parties are working together and have agreed on most decisions, but the right to object remains a sticking point. ConsiderationsThe current focus is on rezoning, not on specific future uses like concerts.A Heritage Overlay is in place, requiring Heritage Victoria approval for any changes to the building. Additional Details Paul Banks mentioned another shareholder is contributing funds. He denied any association with Mick Gatto and expressed confidence in community support.Fortuna Articles - "Zoning row may put skids under Fortuna development" Feb 14 2014 The Bendigo Weekly by Chrisine McGinn This item contains the following: 11217.51a Part of Page 3 - Fortuna Articles - "Zoning row may put skids under Fortuna development"non-fictionbendigo, fortuna, george lansell, paul banks owner fortuna, mick gatto
