Bayside Council at odds with developers over Cooks River land swap

While the possibility of a data centre being built on the Cooks River has generated substantial controversy, other aspects of the development are being overlooked. Bayside councillors want to move a proposed public park onto the riverfront, swapping industrial buildings with green space. But despite councillors’ belief it is being actively discussed, developer Stockland says it has received no proposal. As a crucial planning deadline approaches, questions remain about whether the idea will receive serious consideration.
