State to Acquire Land Compulsorily

Those who attended the recent meeting of Businesses of Beecroft (BOB) will remember that much of the debate was on how difficult it would be for developers to acquire enough land within Beecroft Shopping Village to build the proposed 5 storey residential developments.
However according to the Sydney Morning Herald the NSW state government is to push through laws giving them the power to acquire land compulsorily and sell it to developers!
So any developer wanting to build over Beecroft Village need just ask the Shire to "get the land" for them.
Suddenly the Shire's addition of Beecroft into their Housing Strategy becomes a much more immediate threat.
Have your say, before submissions close on 25 April!
