its funny how he likes to build one of the most useless things in society. Public ones that integrate a natural setting aren't to bad but private ones always are such garbage.
Best Golf course I played on was actually Emerald probably 20 years ago.
Absolute shitty maintenance, the rough was rough, and no chance of using a golf buggy unless it was 4wd.
But, the green was manicured enough for putting, and was actually fun, instead of standing there like a ding dong in a mostly flat and manicured course where you could look across and see 5 different holes from where you were standing.
And, it was quiet, cheap, and the only other people there, were there to have fun. No pressure.
yeah we have some in our forest preserves and its just like you describe plus trees aplenty. So playing it is like taking a nature hike.
Sounds like you guys need a better mayor
This is not surprising for the Gold Coast and if Americans could just fuck off that’d be good enough.
We need better governance at all three levels and in most urban LGAs.
It won't work. Australia hates Trump. Even if someone wanted to commit political suicide by approving it, that course would be constantly vandalised to the point it becomes a national passtime.
Not all of Australia hates Trump.
Don’t think for a minute what the public thinks will wash here either. This is a pretty corrupt council and they’re all corrupt when it’s DA’s like this one.
The proper cash to this mayor, a few councillors and Jarrod Bleijie and this will happen tomorrow, with the right developer in charge.
Don't underestimate the power of corruption. Ie, he could just tell the mayor "you can play there at free, bring any guests, free food, free hotel stays", etc
We overwhelmingly hate him (and he listed traits he hates which encompasses most Aussies), which is why its an anomaly even the tower was considered. The whole thing doesn't make sense at all
A part of me thinks it would be funny for it to get built to see how many dirt bikes / utes would deliberately tear it up.
Put me in the roster to fertilise the greens overnight.
Ha ha ha.... No.
We don't want him here.
