Self service check outs are a disgraceful display of company greed, I have been a long time client of aldi in goulburn and in sydney, people need work out there, removing another job only makes things harder for everyone and further widens the gap between the rich and the poor, i know from personal accounts from friends who worked there that there have been multiple times people have been caught stealing food because they could not afford it. Yet the corporate overlords decided to save a buck by removing a job through the instalation of these self serve checlk outs, i just wish more people would use their brains, not be useful idiots and refuse to use these check out services. If Aldi removes all the check out lanes i will no longer be a customer. My mother and sister worked as cashiers at franklins and various other stores to make ends meet, the fact that this role is being deleted over time removing yet another opportunity for someone to be able to make a few extra dollars helping people make their way in life smacks of selfishness and coporate greed the likes of which we have not seen before. Wake up Australia, a few extra miniutes in a check out lane waiting for service is not going to kill you but it will provide additional income to already struggling famillies especially in this current economic climate. I staunchly oppose this obscene developmnet application
All recent comments on applications from Goulburn Mulwaree Council, NSW
agree, can more information be made clearly available please
Is more information available for the description provided for this application?
Most residents who purchased those large rural blocks are not interested in subdivision. This is clearly an investor who is looking to make a quick buck! You allow these subdivisions without any real consideration for the residents who actually live next to or nearby. Take Dorsett Road as an example. Numerous Large 5 acre established blocks, and a 8 lot subdivision was approved on the only vacant parcel of land left. This was approved by the council and the owner of that block was an investor from Sydney.
With all that aside, the water pressure now is terrible and can barely service the housing that’s already there. Unfortunetaly this peaceful scenic lifestyle will be overrun with a sea of houses soon.
Rural area.
Sewer mains, and water systems barely support the homes here already.
We don’t want the area built up and I most definitely do not want two houses next to mine.
Why would we need a development application and all the red tape that goes with said DA to upgrade a sign ?
Its this sort of un-necessary waste that we don't need, especially in this current climate, just replace the sign and get on with things, we have way more important thing council should be worried about.
My concern is vehicles parking in the street between Nelson Place and Gale Place.
{ turning into Nelson Place from Fitzroy St }
It is dangerous when a vehicle is parked in the street.
This matter needs to be looked into. My suggestion is put up no parking signs.
People some times park where this house is going to be built.
The dwellings at 1Matchless Avenue are already under construction but I would like to ask why council is approving so many detached dual occupancy dwellings in Teneriffe estate? The roads are getting busier and parking on the street seems to happen when the 2nd dwelling doesn’t have a garage.
Thank you in anticipation of your response.
Horrible humans who should rot in prison to their dying day. Raymond and Grace Bulley are abusive, cruel, pathetic and do not deserve the privilege of living on this planet. allowing this sort of "business" is a sign of an unethical society. Shame on the council and all horrible humans who enable cruelty
Please, please , don't let Grace Bully open up a puppy farm, we need to stop the breeding as our pounds are full and rescue centres are full and we don't need another person breeding for money ! Please do the right and stop the breeding !!!
Dear Coucil,
Please do not allow a woman who has been convicted previously of animal cruelty and who puts making a dollar above the welfare of any animals, to have her application approved. We must make a stand against cruelty and neglect for those who do not have a voice of their own.
Thank you
Melissa Hart
Dear Councillors,
I have spent many weekends camping and holidaying with family and friends over the years and am considering purchasing land and settling in the future. I would however have serious concerns in future dealings with Goulburn Council should you approve the DA on the Bully's puppy farm. In this day and age animal abuse and neglect has direct consequences on political parties. People will not vote nor support those who are supportive of any industry that purposefully endorse the abuse or neglect of animals - in any instance. Please consider whether you would be happy to take your children or grandchildren to Mrs Bully's puppy farm and explain to them why it is okay to support inhumane practices. I personally could not.
Kind Regards
Bronwyn Afflick
Dear Councillors
I write to object to the creation of yet another puppy farm. Australia is destroying thousands upon thousands of dogs as well as cats every year due to over breeding. You have the power to say enough is enough. Let's find homes for all the dogs and cats waiting euthanasia and not add to the problem.
Further this person has already shown she is unable to provide the correct care for her animals and has been charged with cruelty. She should be banned for life to own another animal.
All animals deserve to be free from harm or pain and not neglected.
Thank you in advance for allowing me to state my views.
Councillors, I believe it is your civic duty and moral obligation to refuse permission for this. A person charged with animal cruelty should never own or have access to animals again.
I rescued a 5 year old miniature poodle from a puppy farm in 2013. He still bears the physical and emotional scars of those years spent in a cage. NO MORE PUPPY FARMS!
To even consider Grace Bulleys application is inhumane. She already proved she is inhumane......and her name Bully is exactly what she is!!!!
I object to Grace Bulley's application on ethical grounds. This is a bigger issue around animal welfare In Australia. Grace has proven that she cannot be trusted working with animals. Her motivation is based on greed and she has no capacity for kindness or compassion. Is this compatible with your values Goulburn Council? There is no value to the community in allowing Grace to run a business involving animals, yet there is enormous value in rejecting her application - maintaining a high moral code and integrity - in light of her background and career history. Keeping the bar raised high is respectful to the local community and to all Australians. Thank you kindly, Goulburn Council.
I can not stress enough my objection to this. It is both shameful and cruel that it can even be considered to let any animal be used in such a fashion
Dear Councillors,
I beg of you not to allow Grace Bulley to further barbaric & inhumane treatment of innocent,defenceless creatures.She is obviously not a person who has any compassion for her dogs what so ever.As she has shown extremely cruel practices in the past,I implore you to reject her application,otherwise you are condoning it.Please seriously consider the consequences !!!!!
Julie McInerney
Please do not even consider this application. Puppy farms go against every thing digs are about. Dogs are our companions. They live with us, they comfort us, they help us if we are blind or need assistance. They work herding sheep and cattle. They are used by police and the armed forces to safeguard us. They help guard the entrances to our country by sniffing out contraband.
In return it is up to us to ensure they have the care and attention they need to serve and support us - from the day they are born.
My plea is that you do not provide this person with your authority to conduct a puppy farm.
Dear Councillors,
Please DO NOT allow Bulley to torture more dogs. Show the world you care by not approving this DA. Use your voice for those who cannot speak. This woman is an animal abuser who shows not remorse of her prior convictions and should never be allowed to touch an animal again. Thank you for you consideration.
Carol Lacroix
Dear Councillors,
Please do not approve this DA. This business is nothing but abuse and cruelty perpetrated on defenseless animals for profit. You will know that these puppy farms are condemned by Australians all over the country. The applicant - Grace Bulley, has previously been convicted of cruelty to animals and had the animals removed from her property due to the cruelty they endured. Grace has been interviewed by Seven news previously, and shown no remorse or regret for the treatment of the animals in her care. But instead labelled anyone who objected to her treatment of the animals as "Fruit Loops". By approving the submitted DA, you as a whole, will be condoning the systematic abuse and neglect that will occur by Grace Bulley and Raymond Bulley. You will be complicit in the abuse. This is a DA that the majority of Australia object to. You have the opportunity to make a difference by saying NO to animal cruelty. By saying NO to Grace Bulley. By being a responsible council, who stands with Australians against the reprehensible practices of the type of people Grace and Raymond Bulley represent. People who put their own greed and profit above the welfare of the living beings they are suppose to care for. By changing the name of the type of business they wish approved, does not change the type of business they will conduct or change the people they are or what will happen to the animals they own for profit. They have shown by their words and actions, that they are not fit to and do not deserve to ever be in the position to profit from misery. Please reject this DA. Thank you, Sean McMurtrie
It is the council's duty to protect against animal cruelty. Applications to Council involving the keeping of multiple domestic animals requires applicants to have previously demonstrated good character and a voluntary compliance with both community and legal standards. On June 2nd 2017 Grace Bulley was found guilty on 12 charges of animal cruelty in regards her 'puppy farm'. Ms Bulley seriously mistreated her dependent animals. This was not an isolated instance of cruelty. Rather, Ms Bulley was intentionally and systematically cruel to the animals over a long period of time. Indeed, this abuse would not have been exposed without the intervention of concerned citizens. Ms Bulley clearly demonstrated her singular concern was extracting the maximum (undeclared) profit out of these unfortunate animals at their physical and mental expense. Of even greater concern has been the absence of any post-conviction remorse by Ms Bulley. When interviewed afterwards an unrepentant Ms Bulley assigned blame to the concerned citizens who intervened on behalf of the animals - describing them as 'looney tunes'.
This is a matter where actions speak louder than words. Where the suitability of the applicant should not be judged on any disingenuous future assurances, but rather clearly unrepentant values that are inhumane and (as it turns out) unlawful.
Dogs have been selectively bred for centuries as human companions. They are genetically 'programmed' to be entirely dependent on humans for companionship and emotional needs. They are psychologically damaged when systematically denied such positive human contact. Clearly, Ms Bulley lacks an innate sense of this. This does not disqualify Ms Bulley from being a future pet owner. However, by her demonstrated past actions, conviction, lack of remorse, and lack of appreciation of the issues Ms Bulley has disqualified herself as commercial custodian of multiple dogs in the future. We urge the council to set a very high standard for those who choose to be custodians of multiple dogs in their shire, and thereby reject Ms Bulley's application.
I am sure you want your shire to grow, prosper and thrive - how can this happen if you allow one of the cruelest establishments to be approved. On June 2nd 2017 Grace Bulley was found guilty on 12 charges of animal cruelty and instead of admitting the error of her ways and being remorseful and ashamed, she and her family have shamelessly put in application to continue this practice of abuse and horrors to these voiceless and vulnerable animals. The animals do not and have not had a voice so I will stand up for them in stating that it is irresponsible and just cruel for the Goulburn Mulwaree Council to allow this application to pass, to the animals, to your residents an constituents and as a civilize and humane society.
This application is not acceptable in any way or form. The Bulley's have been not been in any way humane, responsible or caring for companion animals in the past - this is evident when on June 2nd 2017 Grace Bulley was found guilty on 12 charges of animal cruelty. these animals are not treated in a respectful or humane manner in fact their conditions and basic needs were not tended to - for her they are a way or easy and unaccounted revenue. Her disregard and lack of remorse is of great concern. In short what she has done is criminal and cunning. Her and her family's puppy factory needs to be put to a halt and stopped rather than a permit be granted to extend this archaic operation. The privilege of any extension of business in your municipality or Australia wide d should only be offered to good, responsible , law abiding and respectable citizens. Keep your shire beautiful and reject this permit.
