Milton Cater, Bangalow

Jobs, jobs ,jobs? 400 more jobs? Crap!

There are over 1000 people employed in Bangalow at present. A factory complex and ancillary traffic will put at least 400 of these out of work, by reducing the viability of businesses.

The business of Bangalow is now and forever the very top shelf of fine dining, art, and fashion, design and innovation. Jobs growth is in the quality of Bangalow, our internet connection to the world, and especially our cashed-up visitors.

A giant factory complex will definitely lower the tone and the 400 postulated jobs will be taken by rev head westies.

Get real. Wait for the Master Plan in which a local growers food hub can elevate 2479, not destroy it.
