Simon Corbell has announced that rather than deal with the feral letter writers of the Inner South he’s calling in the paperwork to put lights up at Manuka Oval (paving the way for more and better cricket through summer).
Mr Corbell used his call-in powers to approve a development application to construct six lighting towers for television broadcasting and associated works including two sub-stations and associated cabling, and in addition 400 temporary seats.
“Manuka Oval is already home to several popular sporting matches every year including prominent AFL and cricket matches and this project would see an increased capacity for televised national and international sporting matches to take place under lights,” Mr Corbell said.
That’s a great planning system we’ve got where even simple things like this require call-in powers.
