Firstly, good on Olympic for going for it. Would have been great to get it done...but it isn't getting done.
Secondly, Olympic aren't the only club that applied or does apply for grants.
My understanding is that the Council money was dependent on the governemnt grant. This is not unusual. No government grant means no Council money. All Olympic have is their own $200k. However, the Council clearly has earmarked $500k for the now failed grant.
The question I posed was this: Don't you think that the $500k from Council would be best spent sports grounds rather than footpaths or more market sites?
Perhaps you think that the failed bid should result in Olympic getting the $500k so they can half do the project?
Regardless of the politics, corruption etc that occurred, the bid unfortunately failed. So where should the Council $500k go? Edden, Alder, National Park? Or should Olympic get it and do half the job?
