As you may recall we advised you recently that Counsellors would be voting this past Tuesday at their regular Council meeting on the recommendation from the Officers that Council nominates Proponent A as the successful proponent to develop the LVH and then finalise and execute the Project Delivery Agreement with that party. The signing of the PDA was due to happen this week!
The gallery in the Council Chamber was almost full, with all those present there to support approval of the project. Thank you to those of you who attended. Unfortunately, a bombshell was dropped on Council staff Tuesday morning by a contingent of officers from Transport for NSW. Their message was that TforNSW was withdrawing the $9.8m funding for the 135 commuter parking spaces.
Please see the links below for details:
Needless to say, heads are still spinning and we will be working with Council and Matt Cross, our State Member of Parliament, to try to have this decision reversed. To that end, we met with Matt Cross who is fully supportive of the project. He has put a petition on his website for residents to sign and submit to the Minister for Transport. We encourage you to have your say and complete the petition at this link.
We’ll keep you posted. In the meantime, we welcome your comments.
