Developers need to pay - why not the water recyclers ...

Responding to traffic problems in southern Ruthven Street, Deputy Mayor Joe Ramia has flagged the need for property developers to pay a fee which can be used to rectify unforeseen traffic issues 5 to 10 years down the track.

But the developers of the recycled sewage project are not being asked to pay a fee to rectify unforeseen health issues 5 to 10 (or 20 to 30) years down the track.

Why the double standard, Deputy Mayor?

See - Developers can pay - but water recyclers get off for free.

The council needs to get its act together on this - who will pay for any future liability?

Look at how much the council has spent on consultants for this water farce so far - it's ratepayers' money which is being thrown away!
