HOTEL DEVELOPMENT:
ROSNY HILL NATURE RECREATION AREA
MEDIA RELEASE
Today Rosny Hill Friends Network and members of the community rallied on Rosny Hill Nature Recreation Area to call on the Liberal and Labor Party to rule out giving authority for the private hotel development.
The newly elected Government must not allow this cherished public green space to be leased by a private developer for profit.
At the Clarence City Council meeting last Monday 19th April, aldermen raised the question as to whether the Development Approval for a hotel on Rosny Hill had been on-sold.
RHFN remains deeply concerned because of Robert Morris-Nunn’s previously stated intention to on-sell his permit to an undisclosed developer.
Given our recent experience with Kangaroo Bay, we are also concerned that any contractual obligations will not be rigorous.
Does this mean that Robert Morris-Nunn will have to relinquish his “preferred Developer” status?
We are concerned that public open space will be leased to an unknown entity who has not been part of the application process, and who may have little concern for the needs and aspirations of the community
