FLOODING FURORE
THE risk of flooding in areas immediately surrounding Bankstown Airport might have increased because of a large amount of landfill deposited on the airport site in recent years, according to two Bankstown councilors.
Council reneges on deal
The deal, which dates back to 1999, saw council agreeing to swap a narrow section of land it managed for the State Government near the intersection of Milperra Road and Henry Lawson Drive for airport owned land near Bankstown Basketball stadium.
Community deserves explanation
Cr Stromborg’s stance on issues that could see further expansion of Bankstown Airport is far too late and reeks of political grandstanding at its best. Our councillors have short memories after their verbal abuse towards three local residents, who addressed council’s proposal for a land swap agreement in April 1999.
New entrance causes concern
I strongly oppose the expansion of Bankstown airport and I’m pleased that Crs Stromborg and Winterbottom are moving to have Bankstown Council rescind its previous recommendation to the Minister for Land and Water Conservation, as previously requested by many Bankstown residents, including myself.
Council queries land-swap deal
A LAND-SWAP agreement between Bankstown City Council and Bankstown Airport “did nothing but aid and abet future development at the airport” , the council heard last week.
Land deal faces fight
COUNCILLOR Ian Stromborg has vowed he will do everything in his power to fight Bankstown Airport’s plan to reactiveate a land-swap agreement with Bankstown City Council.
