Bound for boatny bay.

Yeah, the NIMBY argument. "

While we’re not against tourism or cruise ships, we don’t believe that the position of these two terminals is right for not only our area

, but for Sydney

."

In an area already with a lot of road and sea traffic thanks to the heavy container terminal presence, and near to the airport. And disregarding the findings showing it was a better area than alternative. LOL.

I would think they would want a piece of the action rather than being opposed to it.

They mention Molineaux Point and Yarra Bay in that article and on Google Earth I can't see much room for passenger ships at either place.

It wouldn't be too difficult but it will cost a bit to have the proper infrastructure in place for the terminal and the ships. Transport is not too far away.:D

The site they are talking about seems very exposed to the ocean.

Unless they make a sea wall near bear island I can’t see it work.

I grew up in La Perouse and I'm currently receiving a lot of messages on FB regarding the cruise terminal proposal from friends that still live there. They aren't happy.

Maybe Kurnell should be considered. Quick bus ride to Cronulla (or the Nulla as we refer to it here) Station then a 40 minute train ride to the city.

Regards Elaine.

Kurnell is a lot further away than any other option in Sydney. The train alone is also more like an hour trip, then you have waiting time and the connecting bus trip itself.

I wonder if the new prime minister who lives in the Sutherland shire will affect things.

I doubt he would have any thing to do with this project unless it is to block it.

Promote it or send it back to the drawing board and into limbo.

Don’t you love democracy

He might fund a new cruise terminal @ Kurnell, between the oil refinery and the desalination plant.

 

Deep water, the tankers berth there and all in 'Gods Country' The Shire, where I resided 1975-2005.:halo:

 

Put in a rail link between Kurnell and Woolooware Station on the Cronulla - City Line.

Why not move the navy to Kurnell

Or ask the local Sutherland Shire Mayor. He will approve anything for the right price.

Price may never be enough.

But SCOTMO is not a 'real shire boi.' He was born and raised in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney, Bronte/Waverley. But now resides in the Garden Suburbs of the Shire.

 

I actually knew his father years ago, he wore the blue suit with the silver buttons.:halo:

 

But back to the thread, Kurnell is the go.:*

Kurnell is the go for something.

Looking at satellite images the water looks shallow

If Kurnell is the best option for Sydney, then it may as well be Newcastle or Port Kembla

Kurnell is the worst option, given the distance and isolation. Doesn't make any sense at all.

As for new PM, in line with their ideology, maybe they'll consider new port power will cause an increase in price of electricity, so it has to go as well.

 

Unless they can find a way to build a coal plant inside it as well.

Or maybe their right wing will become even more aggro since they didn't get their candidate, resurrect their "stop the boats" mantra and he kowtows to cancel the terminal for party 'harmony' (as if that ever happens with those kiddies).

Most likely stagnate the decision until there is time for the new people to not make a decision.:(

How about cutting a canal from Sydney Harbour through to Lake Burley Griffin in Canberra, build a cruise terminal there, then people from NATCAP like Uncle Mic, can go down and see the ships.:')

A novel idea, one that takes a real thinker to come up with.

OK finally a viable option!

 

Cheers

A set of locks down the clyde all the way to Batemans Bay would be good as well.

First port would have to be at Goulburn. Imagine all the day excursion's to The Big Marino.. WoW.

We should show the new PM the big merino, apparently he doesn't know one end of a sheep from the other.:p
