    Why did it need to be so close? Would be good if we ensure more ownership of these projects.

    Having them be further out and cheaper for Australians to use could actually get approved and be useful, not take up land where people want to live

    The project was approximately 20 metres from the nearest house and 160 metres from Lane Cove West Public School.

    No wonder the community was livid! You can’t have such a project in such a densely populated area. Well done, people!

      Especially considering these things are now active military targets in any future war. Keep that shit well away from me.
