This latest call for help comes after the council cleaned up the property last year following a ruling by the NSW Land and Environment Court.

Last year’s ruling was the third time the property had been the subject of a court hearing.

Neighbours told the Central Western Daily that despite the clean-up the property was now “worse than ever”.

One neighbour, who declined to be named, said rodents and silverfish had invaded his property as a result of the items in Ms Kjoller’s yard.

“Nobody should have to live next door to that,” he said.

“It’s taken value off the street.

“There was a house for sale in the street and it was ages before they sold it. Nobody wants to be in this street.”

The man said while he’d considered moving house he didn’t want to leave his beloved garden.

“We like living here, we’ve been here for a while and the people [who own the property] have been good to us,” he said.

The man said he had called council several times to complain about the state of the property but nothing had been done.

Another Windred Street resident told the Central Western Daily they feared nothing will be done to fix the problem.

“It’s been like this for a long time,” he said.

“We’ve just had enough.”

Council clean-up temporary

DESPITE court rulings, fines and mediation Orange City Council admits it’s no closer to cleaning up the Windred Street property owned by Sophia Kjoller.

The council’s manager corporate and community relations Nick Redmond said previous attempts to clean up the property had been “short-lived”.

Mr Redmond said it took three years for the council to get a court order to remove items from the property last year, only to see it return to its previous state this year.

“We’re trying to develop another way of dealing with the situation,” he said.

“We’ve spent three years and a sizeable amount of money on this.”

Mr Redmond confirmed neighbours had contacted the council with concerns over the current state of the property.
