A road dividing the caravan park from the beach is set to be movedThe money will help to pay for the realignment of Yardie Creek Road, which now separates the entry to Mr Forrest's Lighthouse Caravan Park on one side from the turquoise waters of the Ningaloo coastline on the other.
Artist's impressions of the eco-resort show the road in its current position in front of the development. She said the Yardie Creek Road realignment would "improve safety and amenity for visitors to the region". "Tattarang believes that the proposed road realignment is critical for the safe operation of the tourism development," he said.Mr Hartman said the development would not prevent public access to the beaches or lighthouse and would be important for the local economy.
$6 million of funding from Federal & WA Govt's for a Billionaires luxury eco-resort. MarkMcGowanMP JoshFrydenberg
smid00771 God forbid Andrew 'Welfare Leech' Forrest pay for the road himself and use his own money to create (shortlived) jobs for the community, like he claims he does. $6 million is spare change for him, wouldn't even notice that fall out of his pocket. A parasite on Australia auspol
Careful, ABC! Breaking from the party line will not be permitted by your masters, the IPA.
Funny he would build an eco resort, but spend billions against action on climate change.
Forthleft2 Amazing what you can do when you pay no taxes!
The safety part is to eliminate the need for people to walk across the road to get to the beach. It's got nothing to do with former crash numbers. ABC fake news again.
I’m also assuming that’s a public road.
Biggest leech in the country. How does one 'earn' mining rights. And how does he show gratitude? Whines about paying taxes.
I'm going to start a glamping business in my front yard and ask to have the road moved for protection from the speeding bogan tradies when I collect the paper each morning
Himmler gets what Himmler wants.
How's your Chinese war machine going forest.
Somehow public money isn’t welfare when it’s gifted (through a company) to a wealthy supporter of the LNP? Suppose they will try to justify it in the same way as their sports rorts....
Why not? We the people owe him a great debt of gratitude for donating (selling), us vital (useless) CV-19 tests he went to great lengths to get (Chinese business contacts). Indue (pleb punishment card) time, we'll realise how valuable he is to (how much he's cost), Australia.
And you wonder why people believe there is one rule for US and a different one for THEM!
Andrew Forrest is our royalty apparently.
Any other resort get this type of treatment. Didn't think so.
We can do and have anything we want ... we are the rich people !!!! Your just our servants. But We Pay with our taxes for your extravagance ... Do you pay taxes Mr Forest hmmmm?
Why does't the WA Gov't hand over the Treasury to Mr Forrest? This is shit.
Those COVID test kits are the gift that keeps on giving....
It's pretty common if you've got $ to spend and/or fight it in vcat I've worked for several who simply move power poles due to inconvenience ruin heritage & pay the fines cosy up to members to get plans approved & so on yet a hard worker asks for a pay rise & all hell breaks lose
Twiggy lol
When too much money and influence can change council roads to suit themselves
u_hardy 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
riotintosuknews People in the Pilbara have been adming for decades for funding to seal the road from Newman to Port Hedland Via Nullagine and Marble Bar .... this STILL is not completed, with the road having many fatalities over the yrs & having high traffic access mines... Why 💔
JohnOSullivan36 Nothing like being an LNP donor to get endless funding for your private resort that will be out of the reach of 95% of people visiting the Coral Coast.
Prime Minister Andrew Forrest for the Trees , will be upset at Labor doing that i bet...auspol Bullshitboy
Thanks for this. Twiggy will most likely have kept arms length from the negotiations/canvassing that got this put forward? He's done great things for WA, should not allow his integrity to be wrecked by allowing this to be Govt funded. Where else could $6m be spent in WA?
Why does this unelected man have so much say in our governments policies?
It will be 'moved for 'safety' after ONE crash in five years'. One might ask 'Just how stupid do the (Lab and Lib) politicians think we taxpayers are' but then I'm sure our interest will soon wane as they expect and Twiggy will get his $6 million gift without fuss.
🤔
Not the first time foreshore roads in WA have been diverted to improve the amenity of private developments. Leighton Beach - Curtain Ave/Port Beach Rd was diverted for the benefit of the Leighton Beach residential development.
he’s a powerful cat now. Was also on the design board for Australia’s new golden wattle symbol, no surprise to see it in gold which is very attractive and important to the Chinese who also butter his bread.
What the. Self-entitlement at its best.
Yes RoadSafety is important So perhaps government could remove Ewen street as it causes at least one RoadAccident a week But then we are just the community nothing special in the eyes of politicians & most publicservants wapol wanews auspol ABCnews justanotherdayinWA
Gawd. Bring in Ellen, Julia, Virginia, Paul, Adam, Fran et al for a bit of billionaire bashing. Jealous, bitter self righteous bunch of do nothing's. We like Forrest here. He provides jobs and supports the community. Unike Ultimo Centric ABC luvvies, dried up old Maoist prunes.
CatPurry9 Mates help mates.. cronyism
and in several years time 5 hectares of 'redundant road reserve' will sell for $1 to the highest bidder after being advertised in micro-font in the back pages of the Govt Gazzette.
Twiggy needs to foot the bill for this one
Stop calling it an eco-resort. The turtle nesting is across that road and tourists tramping over, shining torches at laying females is not ecologically sensible.
He uses tax payers money (funding) for alot more than this.... Do some research and you would be amazed how much this parasite gets. He has put small family run businesses out of business for his interests.
CatPurry9 At what point are you going to call this what it is, ? Where is Greens AustralianLabor ?
ohh FFS .... Entitled stale pale male ... Never seen an unelected bloke have so much influence with so many fingers in so many pies (except to Murdoch) all designed to benefit himself
Narwee2209 That's what you call corruption and power as they buy their politicians imagine anyone else demanding that a public road is removed from their homes it would never happen
Why is it Australian governments love throwing money at rich people?
That’s as long as it’s taken GladysB to build NorthConnex.
He should pay for it himself, why should taxpayers for a billionaire’s project 🤬🤬🤬
I love how many people have commented here who haven’t read the article. It’s funding from the Federal AND the WA government. To criticise one but not the other just shows the bias of ALP sheep. FYI, this isn’t remotely a priority and he should pay for it himself
Leaning for Australia.
RBJRON There are criteria to be met for 'Black Spot' safety funding This doesn't even come close to meeting them This stinks but it is depressing to think we can do nothing about it
Another virus affecting Australia!
Money will get you anything!
$6m of taxpayer money to move a road so Twiggys guests don’t have to cross a road to the beach........ sounds about right for the LNP
Huh. It's all to sustain Andrew Forrest's money making venture? Taxpayers foot the bill for HIM! 💵
pandering to the parasite.
Is he paying for it?
Why is the government funding this.
The safety of money making, or the safety of the marketing brochure that says uninterrupted views and exclusive access? Only in the world of LNP donors and morally corrupted politicians could this happen. The burning fall of this Rome really needs to start now. bullshit
Is that on direction from the Chinese Communist Party?
Far too much rich man privilege, make him pay for the lot of it, then tax it, ,twice.
Money talks in 21st C Australia
a million aud per kilometre, now that is a fancy road :)
