With the flooding, you have to know where to look - the Sutherland Shire Council website has public maps in which you could look at a variety of overlays, including flooding.

https://mapping.ssc.nsw.gov.au/Sutherland/

This is what I got - it's a mixed bag by the looks of it, including areas which studies are yet to be completed:

^^ Further to my last post, I am assuming that the white is flood free areas, but a simple phone inquiry to the duty officer at the Council should clarify that.

The only part that might flood is the storm water
drain on the western side of the stadium.
That would be through runoff from heaps of rain.
Not tidal.
And having sat thru years of torrential rain on
SAt nights I would say it would have to be the storm of the century.
IMO

how many other teams fans have a confirmed idiot number?!


if this development goes through we'll finally have a chance at being a stable and competitive.

well, at manly, it's a prerequisite.

More seriously, can you set out clearly what the dev delivers to teh sharks. I heard it's $1 million upfront and about a $1 million per annum - which is nothing. Got some details on this?

10 mil to the bank to reduce debt and get them off our back.

Then we make money of the sales of apartments, I think after the 315th one is sold. And yearly rental from the shopping center.

I think also, the leagues club was looking at a strike bowling plus upgrades to bars, an outdoor entertainment area and other facilities to help generate money.

The 1 mil up front, and 1mil p.a figure was one of the original proposals, which was for 99 years.

yep.. alfresco beer chugging with a view back towards the greatest city on Earth over Botany bay prior to games.

Who in their right minds wouldn't be bang up for that?

^ so something that would be easily managed with engineering contols.

yeah

i mean..theres ipads now..surely some pesky water can be easily thwarted.

ok.
the deal is this. in exchange for total right of the first 314 dwellings we are being given 10 million cash injection up front to get rid of most of the debt we currently have. this puts us on agreeable terms with the bank on the basis that we will still be running a tight ship in regards to staffing and spending at a footy club level.

this is a great deal for the developer. if approved 314 residential properties is worth alot more than 10 million. but the bank has made its move and we need to be complient. getting a large upfront windfall saves us short term.
we will get yearly retail rental form the shopping centre part. so thats an income stream long term. also with a new club and different stuff going on there...as well as increased population in the local area id say that the leagues club would be in better shape financially.

the 10 million is the key though. as that essentially gets us to the new tv deal where the league structure would be better for the clubs/more money etc.

its is not the cash cow that was spruiked by the pearce reigime, however that was one that the sharks assumed all the risk. however long term its a safe business model that generates income and can provide community needs as well as not only ensuring the clubs survival but the ability to move into the future as a professional organisation not solely reliant on pokie revenue and game days.

the new leagues club will be smaller than what it is currently, completely changed and likely much more family friendly eg.. the bowling alley CB4 reffered to. or arcade place down on one floor...theyre also gunna have outdoor eateries/bars overlooking the bay.
