A Port Kembla cafe owner is fighting the Wollongong City Council decision forcing it to close its doors in a few months. Black Friday Sale Subscribe Now!

In February, the council ordered the cafe to close as it was located in a residential R2 zone where such activities were prohibited. That closure was delayed, and a new development control order was issued stating that the cafe had to close by the end of February. In the meantime, Ms Weeks lodged a development application to allow the cafe to continue operating, which was rejected in September because the council deemed the "existing uses" section of the planning legislation could not be used to override the zoning issue. Ms Weekes has lodged a review of the knockback, which the council will decide on by mid-March. "It's incredibly stressful," Ms Weekes said of the experience. "Not just for me, but it's stressful for the staff, especially as we go into Christmas. We've got no idea what to expect at the other side of that. "And financially it also hurts. We've had to pay for submissions of applications, and the planning proposal itself would be another one of those, and that's quite costly." As well as the review of the development application, she was also looking to submit a planning proposal to the council and said the council was conducting "an independent review of the whole situation". "The general manager will take a look at that and decide whether or not there is something else that maybe could be done or changed," Ms Weeks said. "Essentially he just wants to see all of the detail." Ms Weeks said she felt confident the result of all the work and stress will be that the cafe can remain open. "We're a single property and we've actually been operating for two years," she said. "So it's not a matter of trying to understand the impact of the business on the community or the environment because that's very clear already. "We've had no issues with any of that over the last two years. "So I'd be fairly confident the outcome of a planning proposal would be would be a positive one. "I just need to be allowed to continue to trade while that process is worked through." A statement from Wollongong City Council suggested the February close is still very much on the cards. "The cafe operator and landlord have been advised in writing that council will not enforce the development control order to stop the use of the premises as a restaurant or cafe until the end of February 2025," the council spokesperson said. "The operator of the cafe must comply with the development control order from March 1, 2025." The spokesperson confirmed an independent review is underway. "A separate review in response to specific complaints from the proprietor, not the historic use of the site, is ongoing," the spokesperson said. "Council will advise the proprietor when this has been completed." I'm an award-winning senior journalist with the Illawarra Mercury and have well over two decades' worth of experience in newspapers.

The Indian National Congress failed to score in the Maharashtra assembly elections even as the national party contested 101 seats out of the 288 constituencies. Lack of involvement from central leaders, infighting, lack of strong leadership, not addressing the local issues and confusion of seats impacted the Indian National Congress in the Maharashtra assembly results. “The INC focussed on the issues of the general elections which were non-relevant to Maharashtra. They did not focus on the grassroots problems of the people of Maharashtra while the BJP worked in every constituency throughout the last four months. The BJP learned its lesson and focused on minorities, Dalits and Marathas, their Ladli Behan scheme did wonders. Even inside the Congress, there was confusion, they gave a lot of importance to the Dharavi redevelopment which was focused only on Mumbai but they tried to make it a pan-Maharashtra issue. Even in the interiors, they failed to give a credible resolution to farmers issue,” said political analyst Abhay Deshpande to businessline .Experts stated that the lack of senior party leadership involvement in the election and not learning lessons from other States failed INC to succeed in Maharashtra. Further, despite the party’s strong national stance on farmer issues, it failed to impress the farmers and address their concerns in Maharashtra. “After Loksabha the INC was in overconfidence despite losing Haryana. On the other hand, BJP is in election mode 24/7 and they have a very extensive feedback review system with volunteers going on the field and submitting the results to higher-ups. In Maharashtra, the Congress was not even careful to select candidates,” said Advocate Vijay Kumar, Psephologist.In 2019, INC contested 147 seats in Maharashtra and won 44 seats in the state assembly elections. “The loss lies with the Congress as it is a national party and has a larger influence than other local parties in the influence. The party has ground-level influence across the state especially in backward Maharashtra. However, the party truly failed to understand what people wanted on the ground level and in the rural areas despite having strong powerful leaders from Vidarbha. Infighting with everyone wanting to be a CM face, the congress had a complete absence of State-level leadership in the state,” said Dr Surendra Jondhale, a political analyst.
