The NSW government made a confidential offer to the City of Parramatta for funding from a community grants program to settle a drawn-out legal dispute with another council.
A NSW government spokesperson said all funding allocations followed established guidelines and delivered "significant benefits to local communities across the state".In October 2017, Parramatta's then-mayor Andrew Wilson claimed the municipality was owed $24 million in rates from Hornsby Shire Council after the boundaries between the councils shifted to put about 15,000 residents from Epping, Carlingford and Beecroft within Parramatta.
"This list which includes approximately $120M [sic] in community facilities, open space and recreation works for this area ... is attached for your information," Ms Coleman wrote to Mr Hurst on November 6. "The Office of Local Government administered the Stronger Communities Fund in accordance with the program’s guidelines and decisions of government."

Get the defence off their ass, for all the billions they cost us annually, might be a good time to put this never needing black hole of funding for training to good use!? why wasn't the army/navy/air force used, why are the Australian tax payers paying twice for something that was already here?
