So who authorised the decision to embark on a Hospital expansion, in this case QE2, without providing the appropriate infrastructure ? Who thought it was OK to build without considering the social and environmental consequences ?
The local member and State government proposing to tarmac over Rosalie park, a very well used and locally important recreational green space to providing parking for the extra staff that development now employs.
They wouldn't by any chance be the very same people, would they?
Not the same people who made the laughable and galling suggestion that the land would revert to recreational use in 2 years time !
Do you think it might be time to say "stop". "We've had enough". Because if it isn't how much more of this short-sighted and reckless development will we accept.
The responsibility lies with those who made the flawed decisions to develop. T
The cost should not be borne by the community at large, not by those who have used this park for decades, or those that enjoy the view from there flats. they did not sell those rights or those privileges.
Tomorrow the council will here questions, there is not defined period for consultation. Is that normal process ? Is that what our communities deserve. or somewhere along the line did we all decides that the needs and rights of the car driver outweigh the needs of the local residents.
I don't remember signing over those rights and I don't expect to roll over and stay quiet either.
