Farewell education super-economy, at The Age:
The Andrews government was negotiating with the consortium behind plans for a $31 billion Werribee “super city” right up until the project was scrapped, the chairman claims in Supreme Court documents.
Chinese-backed Australian Education City was picked as the preferred developer in 2015 to turn a huge parcel of publicly owned land in East Werribee into a sprawling education, research and housing precinct. But the project was abandoned by the Andrews government last month after concerns were raised about its viability and Chinese investment.
