You can multiply this debate 1000x across all major Aussie cities. From Greens idiots in Sydney’s west:
The future of one of the last significant blocks of industrial land in Concord West is about to be determined, with a focus that ignores the future community needs of the area.In tomorrow’s Canada Bay council meeting, councillors will consider a planning proposal for the development of 1 King Street Concord West next to Concord West station (the previous Westpac call centre site). The proposal comes from Billbergia, the largest developer in the area. They are proposing to build 10 buildings, ranging from 4 to 12 storeys with over 700 dwellings in a range of 1, 2, 3 and 4 bedroom apartments and townhouses.
Council staff have reviewed the proposal and are supporting it subject to some significant improvements to scale and environmental controls, which would reduce the development to about 600 dwellings.
The Canada Bay Greens would like to see this site used for a local public high school. Canada Bay has just one public high school, which is already at full capacity, with some people forced to send their teenagers to private schools. There is significant local support for another high school in the area., However the NSW government has no plan for it, despite population statistics showing the Canada Bay LGA population will grow by 22,000 (including 10,000 of these in Rhodes) over the next ten years.
Here’s an idea. Instead of debating what to crush load, which NIMBY wins what, as well as increasing environmental degradation of all kinds, how about the phony Greens adopt a sustainable population strategy for all of Australia?
They would instantly raise living standards and triple their vote nationally.
