Stop Massive Financial Waste at Bathurst Regional Council

The issue

Mayor Bobby Bourke's snap Council loan of $2.25 MILLION for go-karts (that now have no build site) is costing ratepayers $250,000 in interest alone.

STOP THIS MASSIVE WASTE & MIS-MANAGEMENT, by either

A) REVERSING Mayor Bourke's forced loan of $2.25 MILLION + interest

           OR

B) RE-PURPOSE the loan to deliver real economic growth and community benefit projects, for example, the same money could achieve:

  1. activate the Bx CBD by retrofitting the Old Tafe Building = $1M
  2. activate lower Keppel St with angle-parking & street trees = $685K
  3. deliver a Masterplan Vision for top of Mt Panorama-Wahluu = $200K
  4. activate Mt Pan-Wahluu with café/bistro eatery = $365K

                 STOP THIS WASTE OF RATEPAYER'S MONEY NOW.
