ST CLAIR DEVELOPMENT
06/03/2013
That this council condemns the Weatherill Labor government for its continual arrogance in pursuing the St Clair ‘deal’, including a land swap which will destroy one of the few remaining open spaces for locals, ignoring the overwhelming message from the Charles Sturt election result and labelling the latest DPA under the deceptive title of ‘Woodville Station Development Plan Amendment’.
The Hon. K.L. VINCENT (16:37): Because I support the motion I will not delay its passage for long, but I would like to make a few very brief comments. Rather than rehashing the comments already made in this chamber by my colleagues the Hon. Mr Ridgway and the Hon. Mr Parnell, I will simply say that the removal of this land from the community is a travesty. It is wrong. Many of the points they have raised about lack of process, lack of transparency and the community dudded by a majority of the local council and the Labor government are completely accurate and, again, very wrong. For these reasons I support the motion and commend it the chamber.
