Matters might seem to have quietened down since last December - when it was announced Liza Butler brokered a deal with the CC to de amalgamate. Not so.

We attended the Community meeting held on Tuesday 12/11 at the Hall in Coles Carpark. What came out strongly from the well attended community meeting was loss and sense of grief, and astonishment that the course and club house remains closed; no one was benefiting by its closure. Participants were asked: • How can the impacts of closing the golf course, without notice, be reduced on the community and its residents? • How can the golf club be made viable, so it continues in Vincentia? • What developments would the community tolerate of the golf club land and buildings by…
