Unless things have changed - and they may have, and I can't quickly lay
my hands on the plan details - my understanding is that the site of the
proposed substation is pretty much where the existing smaller pump
station etc is, opposite the Kelly Swamp carpark. That to me seems less
alarming than proposals to Disneylandise the area to attract 100,000
recreationists (or breakfast meetings - presumably not in the hides or
on the grass!), apparently just because....

This morning's CT . "Revitalised wetlands may attract business breakfast meetings". Riversmart--go to riversmart.org. to get details---100,000 visitors, but they won't be birds.

Anyone been there lately?
