Last Thursday week, around 100 Kernot residents and others crowded into the Kernot Hall to find out more about the application of the Yoyou Dairy, a subsidiary of the Chinese Ningbo Dairy Group, to set up a free-stall feeding barn, bottling plant, cool store and parking areas at the Glenview Farm, 1010 Loch-Kernot Road, Kernot.
Also present were Bass Coast Mayor Kimberley Brown, councillors Clare Le Serve, Bradley Drew, Neil Rankine and Phil Wright, and Jodie Kennedy, the acting general manager of Bass Coast Shire.
On tables lay plans of the big changes proposed. These raised more questions, as did an information sheet explaining the project. Bass Coast Shire’s developmental services manager, Rebecca Mouy, ran the meeting and laid down ground rules for the evening: we would not discuss foreign ownership or nationality; we show respect.
