These areas, as the centre of our town, are screaming out for upgrade and redevelopment. And if it takes these funds to ignite the process, I think it would be a good investment. But it needs to be understood that the proceeds of any investment would return to the Endowment Lands Trust Account. Such an investment, however, is not without risk. And I have had discussions with the mayor about this. He has assured me the risks are minimal as his proposal would be in line with the development objectives of Planning and Infra-structure Minister Alannah MacTiernan. Mr Withers maintains the government also wants to have a good working relationship with Cambridge as the next decade will see much change, eg the redevelopment of Subiaco Oval. Past difficulties, which brought about government interference over Perry Lakes, arose because of differing views and divisions between councillors. Mr Withers now appears to have the unanimous support of councillors from both Cambridge wards and it would be prudent to get over the past and move forward.
