It hasn’t taken long for new Melbourne Lord Mayor, Sally Capp, to confirm that she’s still acting as the Victorian executive director of the Property Council of Australia. From the Herald-Sun:
…new Lord Mayor Sally Capp… told the Herald Sun that there was no question about Melbourne having growth.
“We are having growth, so we all now have the responsibility to decide is that going to be good growth or bad growth,” she said.
“(Housing) density is actually a good thing for our future.”
This follows Capp’s recent attack on those opposing more intense development:
“There are still a lot of NIMBYs (not in my backyard) and we need more YIMBYs (yes in my backyard)”..
As well as her support for mass immigration:
[Capp] said her work over the last 18 months heading the Property Council – which describes its work as “championing a thriving property industry”…
“With huge population growth, if we get organised and plan, we can turn population from a challenge into an opportunity”…
Just as MB feared, Capp is another property industry booster that supports mass immigration and mass development to line the industry’s pockets at the ordinary resident’s expense.
