We have this afternoon been given 3A approval. Got a resounding applause.

Floor opened for questions for 10 mins ... Damien just asked briefly for a show of who opposes the motion and there was not a movement in the room.

We are doing questions but rest assured this vote is in the high 90's in regards to a YES vote.

I will confirm when official.

what was the 3a part again?

what was the 3a part again?

The 3A application which has been signed by the Minister Tony Kelly via the dept of Planning is the first part of the process, that has the effect of rezoning and giving master plan development consent on the site(As per FAQ).Although the signature of the minister was only made late today.

Apparently this means ,as it has been signed, if the Libs get in as expected(and as they want to put the planning back in the hands of the local councils),this signature means the application will go through the dept of planning and avoid going back to the council..

If the 3A was signed after the Libs get in,then the council would be involved,and we know waht councils are like.As stated less red tape.

Yeah i just got back too... thanks fella's for all the thankyou's, sorry about the double and triples, either my iphone said enough is enough or jack was putting some negative vibes through the room...

IN all seriousness, i felt a bit for jack and the other peopel who opposed this development, they have their reasons and that is fine and its great to see so much passion on both sides of the fence, however the club would die without this approval and the people spoke with a 99.95% vote.

I estimate there was more than 800 people there i reckon there was closer to 1200, but still the club was pumping the car park chockers and as i left i saw rothfield on his phone at the bottom of the stairs, he is lucky i didnt kick him in the cutie.

:)

Rothfield.....what a low merkin

Thanks Ausguy! Great run down of the night and what a great turnout!

The ticket to bypass the Council is fantastic news.

We just need to lock up Snowden this week and it will be a nice trifecta!

Cronulla Sharks members give green light to $300 million development of the NRL club's land assets

United we stand ... Sharks members vote unanimously for the proposal. Source: Supplied
Cronulla are on the brink of financial security after Sharks members gave the green light to a proposed $300 million development of the NRL club's land assets.

Over 98 per cent of the 575 members who attended Monday night's meeting at Sharks Leagues Club approved the plan to transform ten hectares surrounding the Toyota Stadium complex into retail and residential development.

The deal is expected to inject an immediate $2 million into the NRL club's coffers and, while Cronulla still have to service debts believed to be in the region of $12 million, the development has the potential to make the club become one of the most prosperous in the competition.

Several former greats such as Andrew Ettingshausen and Gavin Miller, as well as current squad members, were on hand at the meeting to lend their support for the development.

For Sharks chairman Damien Irvine, the members' decision to back the venture partnership with Bluestone Capital Consortium marked a significant milestone.

"Our job is to research all possible options and leave no stone unturned in locating and performing due diligence on the best possible options for our membership," Irvine said.

"That our members have agreed to support our preferred partnership so resoundingly tonight is a fantastic endorsement for our club and our future.



"For the result to be so convincing only confirms to the greater community, that we are a proud united club, doing what needs to be done to not only survive into the future but also prosper."

I think the Telegraph are off our backs now.

The SMH however put the skewer into us and want to turn us over with anything they can get their hands on.

Don't post much anymore but this is a truly historic occasion. A long time in the making and still plenty of pitfalls to avoid, but the club now has the makings of our financial security firmly within our own hands. Congratulations to everybody involved in getting this through. At last. C'mon the Sharks!

Apart from the Tinkler hiccup there feels like a lot of positives for the club at the moment. We won the membership challenge. The Yes vote today. Hopefully Snowy signed up soonish. Now to unearth / develop / recruit some gun halves and outside backs.
