The Development Application was assessed against: Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979; Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulations 2000; Council policies; and Other relevant planning controls. The development includes a place of public worship, funeral home, ablutions facility, car parking, intersection upgrade and a picnic and recreation area. A notice of determination will be issued to the applicant by Council stipulating the conditions of consent which the applicant is required to comply with prior to, during, and at the completion of construction. The applicant will also need to obtain both a Construction Certificate and Occupation Certificate, both of which require a number of criteria to be met before being issued. What can I do about a barking dog? Council often gets complaints about barking dogs. This matter is dealt with under the State Environmental Offences and Penalties Act and can carry an on-the spot fine. Council may also issue a "nuisance order" against your dog under the Companion Animals Act, and if it continues to bark this may attract a fine. Sometimes all that is required is for the dog owner to be told that their dog is causing a nuisance. Unfortunately this is often not the case and in many cases the dog owner doesn’t believe that there is a problem.

    Using WRF downscaling and self-organising maps to investigate particulate pollution in the Sydney region. Supplementary Information JAGODA CRAWFORD, ALAN GRIFFITHS1, DAVID D. COHEN1, NINGBO JIANG2, EDUARD STELCER1 1Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation, Locked Bag 2001 Kirrawee DC NSW 2232, Australia 2Office of Environment and Heritage, NSW Department of Premier and Cabinet, Sydney, Australia 1 Corresponding author. Tel: +61 2 9717 3885, Fax: +61 2 9717 9260; e-mail [email protected] 1 The Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF) The Advanced Research (AR) WRF (WRF hereafter) model version 3.5.1 (Skamarock et al., 2004; Skamarock and Klemp, 2008) was used to carry out meteorological dynamical downscaling. The main advantages of using dynamical downscaling is that some processes which are on subgrid scales in the global model will be simulated explicitly by the regional model and more frequent output intervals can be specified. If the regional model simulates sea breezes and the influence of topography more realistically, trajectories computed from its output will also be more accurate. A vast number of WRF configuration options are possible. The current configuration is similar to that used by Angevine et al. (2013). The model was configured with 12 km horizontal resolution, 50 vertical levels, with greatly enhanced resolution near the surface (half of the levels below 1 km and a 20 m thick near-surface level). Subgrid vertical turbulence was modelled with the Mellor-Yamada-Janjic (MYJ) boundary layer and surface layer schemes (Janjić, 1994), longwave and shortwave radiation was modelled with RRTMG (Iacono et al., 2008), cloud microphysics was modelled with the Lin (Purdue) scheme (Lin et al., 1983) and subgrid moist cumulus was modelled using the Grell-Freitas scheme (Grell and Freitas, 2014).

    Department of Planning NSW Director Regions, Hunter and Central Coast PO Box 1148 Gosford NSW 2250 26.05.16

    Department of Planning NSW Director Regions, Hunter and Central Coast PO Box 1148 Gosford NSW 2250 26.05.16 Dear Director Review of the NSW Warnervale Airport (Restrictions) Act 1996 This Act was introduced to restrict the development of Warnervale Airport, thereby protecting the amenity of residents living around the airport and the environment of the adjacent wetlands and waterways. We, the Central Coast Greens, think the Act should be retained because it is achieving its aims of restricting the development of the Warnervale Aerodrome and it is ensuring a proper process to protect the pre-existing amenity of the residents of Wyong Shire. The environment, aircraft noise and a curfew are all restrictions we believe the Act serves to protect. The Act has achieved its aims for the past twenty years and continues to do so in a most efficient manner and therefore, in our opinion, must be retained, whilst ever the Warnervale Airport exists. If the status of Warnervale Airport is altered to another airport classification and category, there is , in the absence of this Act, no way of protecting the interests of the residents and the environment within those categories. The Act aligns with many of the Central Coast Regional Plan Goals, it is already in place and its retention requires no further work or cost to Wyong Shire Council, the NSW Government or the residents. While we understand that the purpose of this regular and scheduled review is to examine if the Warnervale Airport Restrictions Act ’96 should remain or the airport moved to a different general classification, we believe this decision is impossible to make unless we take a holistic view of the airport, it's operations and the possible alternative uses that have already been planned for the airport site by Wyong Shire Council* and the State Government.
