Resident faces property hazards due to dirt dumping for a new road construction in Orange, Australia.

Resident Jenny Somerset in Orange, Australia, faces property issues due to 10,000 cubic meters of dirt and rock dumped for the Southern Feeder Road construction. The project aims to connect the Mitchell Highway with the health precinct and Leewood Industrial estate. Somerset claims the dumping has made her land, including her equine therapy business area, hazardous. She has sought compensation from the Orange City Council, which asserts it has implemented adequate drainage and communicated regularly with residents. Somerset believes the soil should have been placed further away.
