Explosive new documents released yesterday in The Age give significant new details about the Apple Federation Square megastore.
“Documents released under freedom of information also show the plan to knock down one corner of the square to make way for Apple was led by Tourism Minister John Eren – despite ultimate approval for the project coming from Planning Minister Richard Wynne.”
“They also show the massive visitor boost the Andrews government predicts Federation Square will receive from the construction of a new “global flagship store” appears to be based entirely on estimates from Apple.”
“After lengthy talks with Apple, the state government rammed through the demolition plans at the public square without public consultation, and without Melbourne City Council’s knowledge beyond a letter sent to Mr Doyle a week before the announcement. This was done to protect Apple’s interests, the documents reveal.”
