Sydney wedding venue launches last-ditch legal bid to stop skate park | michaelkoziol
The owners of a well-known Sydney function centre are taking their local council to court in a last-ditch attempt to halt construction of a children’s skate park along the Bay Run that was a decade in the making.– is seeking a court order to stop Inner West Council from building the skate park directly next door in Callan Park, arguing the council did not properly consider the facility’s impact on the venue’s views.
In an affidavit, town planner Glenn Raymond – retained by Le Montage – said 10 trees to be planted on the skate park boundary were “not sufficient to form a screen to soften views of the skate plaza or prevent light spill to the function rooms on the northern end of Le Montage”. A brochure Le Montage made about the dispute contains a full-page photograph of late anti-apartheid activist Nelson Mandela and his quote: “There can be no keener revelation of a society’s soul than the way in which it treats its children.”An incident occurred on the first day of the skate park’s construction, to which police were called. Navarra says he told construction workers they were trespassing and politely asked them to stop work, citing his “native earth claim”.
