I was at the original town meeting many years ago when i used to live in Raymond Terrace. Still to this day i cannot believe it was knocked back, especially when i heard they were worried about the environmental impact the track would have and concerns about the racing fuels and oils etc i was dumbfounded.... if they wanted to look at an environmental impact, i used to work at the rock quarry right next door!!! there was an environmental impact!!!
Anyway, rant off.... i hope id goes ahead tho, would do the town good and hopefully this time port stephens council pulls their heads out of their..... well, you know.... they might see the light and realise they are on a good thing here with real money potential for the community.
If they had built this before i moved, i might not have moved considering would have been less than 10min from my house
