Existing residents have had two meetings with Council in the last week

• Residents and Councillors on-site 28 October 2024

Residents met councillors Tom Wegener and Nicola Wilson on site, with apologies from Karen Finzel. Paul Noonan ran Tom and Nicola through the residents proposal powerpoint presentation as Tom was on leave on 30 September and so had not seen it before. Tom was particularly impressed. He was surprised to learn that council's contamination report for 62LMD identified contamination management options besides remediation for the 62LMD site, depending on the final site layout. This fundamental point appears not to have been communicated to the councillors by planning staff - in the same way planning staff attempted to convince residents that since the contamination has been identified it must be remediated at the first big residents and council meeting on 30 July. Planning staff had retreated from this position (with the residents) by 2 August.

The group then walked the site for local familiarisation.
