A decision is expected later tonight on a controversial mosque proposed for Elermore Vale.
The Joint Regional Planning Panel is currently hearing from residents at a meeting at Newcastle’s City Hall, ahead of making its decision.
Most of the 40 registered speakers are against the plan, claiming it’s too big and will cause traffic congestion on Croudace Street.
It’s the second time the panel has met residents over the issue.
There is a chance it will rule in favour of a deferred commencement, or adjourn its decision.

This is Australia they came here to escape the Muslim ways and have a better life so live like an Australian or go home!! There religion clearly states that non believers are their enemy so why are we expected to tolerate their intolerance of every other religion, wake up Australia and stop being bullied by political correctness before it is to late!
Well what a joke this meeting was last night, I gather from experiencing this meeting that we still have the leftovers of ALP cronyism voters of NSW just got rid of. I.E the JRPP that the ALP appointed.
I attended the march 31st meeting at the NCH and I also attended last night’s debacle and this panel of 5 has twice ignored residence’s calls for this Regional Mega Mosque to be stopped on a plethora of logical issues. Even a barrister spoke last night, he got a standing ovation for his speech on proper issues.
Alas, the fact that the sound and traffic issues which have been successfully argued by residence in their objections was taken as offense to the JRPP as the formulas given to the experts to study by the Newcastle Muslim association was proven to be flawed.
The final outcome! Well residence have to go through this waiting game again for another 8 weeks because a 3 to 2 vote by the panel has decided to defer till they get another report from these experts.
Who is paying for all of this?
Is it the NSW taxpayers or the Newcastle rate payers. The matter drags on.
