Mariners Centre of Excellence is GO!

What, money that Council wasn't already spending on water?

And we've gone over the CDO stuff before. My view remains that GCC is not alone in getting stung with a big loss on CDOs, and as Paolo pointed out at the time nobody complained when they were making money...

 

[FFC Mariner]

Smarter people than GC were sucked in, thats not the point I was making really.

Brilliant 4 Corners last week on Basis Capital was like CDO's for dummies.

Its funny how GC is talking about no funding for CCM but an independant councillor can get 1.5m for a free restaurant for the local housos

 

[Paolo]

It is my understanding that the funding arrangement ended back in about March and negotiations are continuing although the Councillors have basically said 'no deal'.

So if this means that much to people you know what to do next election

Which councillors? And have they made an argument based on ROI or is there a relationship issue?

I believe the latter is an issue.

Not sure on which councillors have been most vocal, but my guess two of the biggest road blocks(seems to be the case with everything) are the two councillors from the Greens, Terri Latella & Peter Freewater.

Im sure it will go to council meeting soon enough

 

[dibo]

Greens? Obstructionist? Excuse me while I pick myself up from the floor after hearing these surprising developments...

Between the Greens and the four Libs they can block anything, but I don't know what the Libs' position is. I'd be surprised if the two ALP councillors were anything but supportive unless there's been a serious issue raised somewhere.

Heard on the radio this morning that the Mariners are starting to train at Tuggerah from Monday when they get back from Canberra.

Not much happening there though, a pile of dirt, a small digger (not Normie Rowe) - sheer luxury in the changing facilities. At least the bar is near by.

 

[Bex]

No mate, they are absolutely potless.

doing a good job to cover up the extent of the debacle (so far) but apparently in all sorts of strife

Will only be worse when the new water corporation is formed taking about 50mil away from council

Don't worry, that's not happening any time soon.

Training pitches in so far look good!

Not much else happening.
