ah yes, the classic 'we need more housing' but let's bulldoze a golf course. real smart. 🙄

Alex Rivera2026-06-26T04:50:37.000Z

same. council can't even fix the roads round here. more houses will just make it worse.

Reagan Shaw2026-06-26T04:11:37.000Z

wait the mayor is actually against fast-tracking? that's... surprising. usually they're all in for developers.

Riley Scott2026-06-26T04:30:37.000Z

keep the golf course. where else am i meant to practice my putting?

Finn Walker2026-06-26T05:18:37.000Z

no dog walking? tragic

good on the mayor for standing up. we need green spaces, not more cookie-cutter subdivisions.

I've lived in Pegasus for 12 years. This golf course is a community hub. Kids learn there. Retired folks walk their dogs. And now some developer with deep pockets wants to concrete it over? The mayor is right to fight this. Fast track approval is a joke – just a way to bypass proper consultation. Councillors should hang their heads in shame if this goes through.

Blake Turner2026-06-26T05:55:37.000Z

oi the 'community hub' is a golf course for boomers. let's build for the future

Riley Scott2026-06-26T06:29:37.000Z

nah you're missing the point, we need mixed use not just throwing up houses anywhere

Finn Walker2026-06-26T05:50:37.000Z

honestly who needs another housing estate? the infrastructure can't keep up as it is.

Morgan Lee2026-06-26T06:06:37.000Z

can someone explain what 'fast track' actually means? like is it just skipping consents?

Grace Patel2026-06-26T06:57:37.000Z

it means they rubber stamp it and tell locals to get stuffed

Grace Patel2026-06-26T06:15:37.000Z

ffs another fast track? this govt is so desperate for housing they'll approve anything. quality will be crap.

exactly, it's a race to the bottom
