Yeomans Property Threat from Development - Part 1

[theroilsoil]

Houses, houses, houses . . . . ha, ha, ha, . . . LOOK where all this housing porn has gotten us. Greedy, self-absorbed, money grubbing developers and house debters.

Yeomans - if he were alive - would be rolling in his grave if he knew what these money whores were up to.

Leave it to idiots to turn a self-fertilizing landscape into a dead zone of ugly non-sustainable housing tracks, filled with appropriately lifeless people.

lol we need more houses there is a major shortage and hello think of the extra money it will bring to the community. the only problem is the bridge and traffic if that gets fixed i dont care if it goes up or not. He brought it he should be able to do whatever he wants with his land

I agree, this land is far too important to the history of sustainability to be turned into another subdivision.

In January of 2008, I took a PDC from Bill Mollison and Geoff Lawton in Melbourne, Vic. One of the most important ideas presented was Keyline Systems.

Yobarnie is a living example of caring for the earth that would better serve humanity intact, as a place to visit and learn from, than to be destroyed and lost forever.

This land is much too important to be turned into yet another un-needed suburb.

Why not take the opportunity to create a truly sustainable community on the land. A development that pays homage to Yeoman's work.

Another bureaucratic disaster being planned; or is it greed and incompetence yet again?

It would be a tragedy for this historic property to be carved up. I wonder if the National Trust or some other body could find the money to pay out these developers? If that's not an option, what are the chances of the local authority blocking unsuitable development?
