Here's how developers get their paws on prime public waterfront: NSW Crown Lands jacks up rent on Port Hacking Sailing Club by over 600%β€”from $660 to nearly $10k (then 'kindly' halves it to $5k).
Volunteer club open to all, no fancy bar or pokies, just community sailing since 1945. Can't afford it? Too bad, close down.
Next step: sell off the land to the "highest bidder" -behind close doors, with zero advertising. Public space, a gift for the rich, again. Solidarity with the clubβ€”keep fighting!
