$26 million and all we got is one intersection upgrade. What a bloody joke.
they'll probably spend another $5m on a review to figure out what went wrong
Classic WCC. Throw money at a 'transformative' project, then scrap it after a decade. No surprises here.
nah exactly. Tired of these 'masterplans' that never deliver
I work on these projects and the amount of waste is insane. Council consultants charging $2k a day for slides that get binned. Smh.
26 million. Could have fixed every pothole in the city. But nah, let's have a committee meeting about a meeting.

I've seen the rates bills. We're paying for all of it
tbh I think the idea was good, but the execution was terrible. Still, $26m down the drain is rough.

harder. It's a shambles from top to bottom
ffs just give us proper footpaths and cycle lanes, not this overpriced circus

Golden mile? More like golden mess 😂
lol accurate
Hey at least the consultants had a good run. 10 years billing the ratepayers for nothing
