Fairway Gardens
re promotional message from Fairway Gardens trying to sell their apartments. This development at the bottom of our driveway is unwelcome and unwanted and always was from local residents. Fact is the infrastructure around the area is not designed to support this scale of development. We objected and basically got told to p*** off by the council. The main issue is we don't want a bunch of old folks exiting the complex in an area of high speed traffic, soley out of concern for their safety. This will absolutely end badly. There was a simpler answer, route exiting traffic from this place to the traffic controlled lights at the golf course. But no, they're too dumb for that. My issue isn't with the development, it's with the design which is flawed. People could die.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
60.4% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
24.4% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.2% ... It is complicated
