Letter to the Editor: Footing the bill at the foreshore

DEAR News Of The Area,

IF Gurmesh Singh is so sure that the proposed residential development of the foreshore will generate funding for a spectacular array of revitalising amenities (NOTA 27 February), could he please pressure the State Government into providing something in the way of a business plan to make these stale assurances something other than hot air.

The latest from Property and Development NSW suggests the residential project will be flat out funding itself without generous assistance from Coffs ratepayers.

Of course, Coffs could have had these facilities in spades for a fraction of what governments of both stripes have spent putting lipstick on this pig of a project.

Regards,
Frank SCAHILL,
Coffs Harbour.
