Just to clarify the report that Michael Lyon now declares ‘no’ to developing Ann St and New City Road. He said ‘no’ to housing, but suggested instead a road/bridge across from McAuleys Lane to Myocum. I presume this would also require filling floodplains unless it’s going to be a harbour bridge.
Michael would be more believable if he just stuck to truth and fact.
Regarding pod site development he stated that Byron Council was asked by NSW to submit areas suitable for temporary housing, following that they knew NOTHING about it till the first trucks rolled in?
I’m not an engineer but consider the logistics of getting that size development off the ground, arranging fill, trucks, heavy machinery, men, the pods, the waste management, the roads and traffic, safety issues, consultants, etc. all this and more would have to have been discussed with Council over some months previously to the first trucks rolling in. So please.
It was residents/voters/ratepayers who knew nothing, because Council failed to inform them.
People involved in public speaking should keep their hands away from their face. Body language experts suggest this means disinterest or/and deception.
