  1. We would like to acknowledge the traditional owners of Newcastle – `The Local Developers´ and pay respect to their elders past and present.

    We can only hope that this is the last we see of the Stronach Land Claim upon King Edward Park. :–)

  2. Great! Another piece of land we can pay our rates to have maintained by a council who are already stretched to the limit.
    Surely there is already plenty of recreational area in the inner city.
    The proposed development was very low key would have been a great asset to the area.
    King Edward Park is a fantastic resource and a nearby kiosk would have been welcomed to save a long walk down the hill.
    The development would have complemented the soon to be re-opened Bogey Hole.
    Stronach won the tender legitimately and should have a a right to go ahead.
    “Concerned citizen” was probably against the Merewether Surfhouse too.
