I appreciate that the men of Raymond Terrace deserve a more appropriate building but the proposed new $663,000, seven-metre high and nearly 1200-square-metre building, surrounded by a 2.1-metre high fence in Boomerang Park is totally excessive and inappropriate.

Again the pro-development councillors have given the OK for a development which is not in keeping with the proposed location and without further community consultation as requested by three councillors.

Raymond Terrace men do need a new shed but do they really need what is effectively a factory-size shed?

If they do it should be built in an industrial area not in Boomerang Park.

Any new shed should be in an appropriate area for a building of this kind.
