At the 5th Greens Bad Developer Awards 2009 on 23rd October, CCAG were joint winners with Gwandalan-Summerland Point Action Group in the Regional division in recognition of our campaign against wholly inappropriate development on the Liverpool Plains.

The Gwandalan-Summerland Group received a resounding victory in the Land and Environment Court in September, fighting the Dept of Planning’s Part 3A OK of the massive Catherine Hill Bay and Gwandalan residential developments.  With GSPAG’s side supported by the EDO, Justice Lloyd described the proposed land swap a “land-bribe” and threw out the development plans because there was “reasonable apprehension of bias” given that Mr Sartor had entered a memorandum of understanding and a deed with the developer.

We thank NSW Greens for their unstinting support and congratulate GSPAG on their win against this wholly unsound and fatally-flawed legislation.
