</div>
<div><strong>Stage 1 </strong>  We did it! Thanks to your extraordinary support, we've raised the $180,000 needed to enter the Land &amp; Environment Court. But that just establishes our case.
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div><strong>Stage 2</strong>   Fundraising is now underway. We must secure independent expert evidence required by the court, including specialist environmental and risk assessments.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our next target is $300,000, which will allow us to engage the experts necessary for this phase of proceedings.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This case is progressing step by step. We will continue to update the community as we move through each stage.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Later stages will include final hearing preparation and specialist legal advocacy. As the case progresses, the community will be kept informed about what’s needed next.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>But The Fight Isn’t Over</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>RePoly has a full legal team, experts and substantial resources to challenge the IPC’s refusal.
</div>
<div>To match that and to give the Southern Highlands the strongest defence possible we will continue fundraising to cover the best possible:
</div>
<div><strong>Specialist and expert witnesses.</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>Evidence preparation and subject matter expertise.</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>Senior legal representation at conciliation and final hearings.</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>Campaign and volunteer coordination and education materials.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We invite you to keep supporting the campaign, sharing the fundraiser and following updates through our website (southernhighlandsmatters.com.au and rejectrepoly.com.au) and social channels.
</div>
<div><strong>The community is united and together we will see this through.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every additional dollar strengthens our ability to protect this region — our residents, waterways and future.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We will keep working with our lawyers at Beatty Hughes &amp; Associates, one of the state’s most experienced environmental and planning law firms. They’ve worked on many complex planning matters across NSW and continue to represent us with professionalism and energy.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every dollar goes to the legal fight and communications campaign.
</div>
<div>If any excess funds remain after this campaign, they will be donated to a local Southern Highlands charity, chosen in consultation with the community.
</div>
<div><br />

<div><strong>S. 34 Conciliation Conference Update</strong>
</div>
<div>On <strong>Monday 17 November 2025</strong>, the parties in Repoly Pty Ltd v NSW Independent Planning Commission and Ors, a Class 1 development appeal in the Land and Environment Court, attended a Court-directed Conciliation Conference pursuant to s 34 of the Land and Environment Court Act 1979.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Conciliation Conference is a mandatory alternative dispute resolution process. It began with a public phase that was held at the site of the proposed development.
</div>
<div>During the public phase, six community objectors chosen by the IPC made submissions that were heard by the Commissioner, the parties and their legal representatives.
</div>
<div>Following the conclusion of the public phase, a private session of the Conciliation Conference was held at the Picton Local Court. The contents of that part of the Conciliation are, and remain, confidential to the litigants.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Conciliation Conference has been adjourned to <strong>19 March 2026.</strong> If the Conciliation is terminated then or subsequently, the matter will return to the Court for the allocation of hearing dates sometime in <strong>2026.</strong>
