No, not quite… Don’t get caught up in the media spin.

Firstly, it was a research lab for uni students, not a Koala Hospital.

And DW didn’t just spend the money elsewhere. COVID hit, the park shut, the lab project on hold. DW asked if they could use the $2M elsewhere amongst more funding (for other obvious reasons), the Government said yes.

I don't care about overlays, or law changes - I care about the fact that people will scream about the loss of koala habitat while living in a home that only exists because their builder demolished koala habitat. 

A development proposal like this preserves a lot more trees than Metricon, or Westfield.

Dude, all I said is "it's a headache"  I'm not for or against the change of use DW have applied for and I haven't set my tent up on either side of the fence.   All I was doing was explaining why it's a headache and why what Westfield did 7 years ago sets no precedent of what you can do today.
