In regards to the lost West Byron court case I understand that Council adopted a legal position to concede contentious points in the DA regarding flooding, drainage, sewer, traffic etc. on the advice of independent expert witnesses.
I would like one of those expert witnesses to explain to me how it is okay to import approximately 600,000 tonnes of fill onto a floodplain next to a highly sensitive wetland.
Just to make this clear: that is approximately 80,000 truckloads of fill. Assuming there is a truck going in every ten minutes, five days a week, excluding holidays, that equates to eight years of infilling of West Byron.
And that alone that is sheer madness.
