Folks,
Some of you have very short memories, given what has been on various pprune threads about YSBK.
Read thornbird's last post carefully.
Making the southern half of YSBK available for development pre-dates the sale of BAL to the original "private" shareholders of BAL, and as we know, closure of 18/36 was an "informally agreed" "unwritten condition" of the private shareholders buying BAL.
How do we know this is true?? Because BAL and a senior executive of the BAL made no secret of the matter --- and the terms of the head lease were simply ignored.
All this happened long, long before LEDA came on the scene, they only appeared as one bidder after BAC Devco went bust.
Tootle pip!!
PS: At its peak, YSBK was the biggest direct and indirect employment generator in the Federal seat of Blaxland --- whose member at the relevant time was Paul Keating.
