Does anyone really believe the contractor was appointed with the needs of the residents in mind ? It's all smoke and mirrors saying we want to work with residents when in reality they are just ignored. There is a client and a contractor who both stand to make a tidy profit out of this, the residents are just a hinderance to their plans, a fly on the arse of tasty profits that has to be swatted. The soundbites they use just make me want to scream.....

"working with the residents"
"affordable housing"
"relocation package"

What do these terms really mean in plain english ?

"who cares about them, we will get them out the way sooner or later"
"cheap council or association housing where private residents are a hinderance"
"a LOAN that has to be paid back at some point"

There were several contractors interested in offering the residents the deal they wanted, why were they overlooked, did strata offer the biggest profit margins ?

I for one would like to see the reasons they were REALLY awarded the contract over the others.
