High-rise holiday destination of choice?

I refer to the three media releases from Mr Matthew Wales, Peninsula Chamber of Commerce, as published in Edition 262 of Peninsula News.

Yes, Woy Woy Rd upgrades should proceed with speed and urgency.

The BMWs, Mercedes and spotless 4WD vehicles that never leave the bitumen, preferred by developers and their upmarket clients, need easy access to the Peninsula to ensure that the modernisation of the region is swift and effective.

Yes, a police shopfront in West St, Umina, will provide the level of safety and security required by the new residents to the area.

Who would believe that the insurance premium on a car garaged at Booker Bay is substantially less than the premium on a car garaged at Umina?

There is anecdotal evidence that people who travel by bus spend less than people who drive Mercedes, BMWs and 4WD vehicles.

It seems logical that the prime parking spaces should be reserved for modern vehicles and all bus stops should be removed from shopping precincts.

This would encourage public transport users to relocate.

Gosford Council is wasting ratepayer's money by indulging in community consultation on issues such as population density, building height restrictions, socio-economic issues, land use and infrastructure requirements.

All they need to do is fast track to overtaking Surfers Paradise as the high-rise holiday destination of choice.
