Agree with Lisa this is unfortunately true what she has said they did as they wanted and had absolutly no respect for any laws it’s a totally new place , heard about where they dumped the waste then didn’t hear any more about that how is this so positive ?? Gonna take a bike ride one day and find the debris . It’s not at all a nice story and a lot of swear $$ around !
Not entirely sure why this is a positive news story? The developer has broken all the rules. They have disregarded the history of the hotel and the ecology of the site. They’ve ignored the local council. But hey ho, they’re super rich. So now we all think they’re the good guys??? While the rest of the population respect the planning rules, jump through hoops, get lambasted by the detail. Threatened … the list goes on. One rule for the super rich … they don’t play by the rules. And if you don’t believe me, just back check MDB back stories on this development project. Shameful.
