Caltex will still have a storage facility there, so there will not be much, if any of a loss of traffic volume. Pity the job losses though.

 

[fizman]

12 speakers

8 yes
4 no

No's are absolute dribblers - same stuff traffic, transport size.

Gal and Benny Ross just presented - beautiful

 

[fizman]

First session just about complete.

10 yes
6 no

 

[jc155776]

What would the usual numbers be? 80% no's?

330 jobs lost.Will have some traffic effect which would include ancillary and maintenance.Plus throw in the eventual removal of sand trucks,as the sand mining will be wound up.
Some of the guys there ,have been working for decades.

I was there for 2 hours and spoke (poorly I thought).
Seemed to be a 60-40 split of supporters v detractors.

Fizman and Megalodon spoke very well as did Gal and Rossy. Rossy spoke in his capacity as pharmacy owner and said he welcomes the new shopping centre. I missed it but Annesley spoke first up and was apparently very good.

Most detractors were older local residents who droned on about the usual mundane and extremely "general" topics of Mangroves, Traffic, game day parking (really, I mean seriously if this is all youve got, give up) and over crowding. Only one (a younger female on some environmental board) spoke with any authority and with regards to specifics in the report.

The surprising thing for me was that most of the supporters were immediate locals and a good mix of demographics and socio economic variety.

Keep in mind I left at 1230pm. Although Provan sent her apologies earlier in the day she changed her mind and is apparently on the way down there. Capsis and Irvine would be speaking about now I reckon.
