Save Olympic Park: State Gov backs street car racing & tree felling in Park
NSW approves V8 Street Car racing in Olympic Park over community objections. Key among the issues is the permanent damage to the park and to its world class reputation as an ecologically sustainable precinct. The Govt. plans to waste upto $90 million on this event over 5 years. Problems include the loss of 489 trees with upto 1000 tress under potential threat, demolishing and rebuilding of 3.5 km of road and causing unnecessary disruptions and road closures for upto 10 weeks.
