Councillors accused of tying up soccer field grant in red tape<br />
TWO Hunters Hill councillors were accused on Monday night of attempting to tie up a two million dollar<br />
sports field grant in red tape.<br />
Lane Cove MP Anthony<br />
Roberts recently promised<br />
the two million dollars for a<br />
synthetic turf soccer field at<br />
Gladesville Reserve, which<br />
prompted environmental<br />
concerns from independent<br />
councillors Ross Williams<br />
and Jim Sanderson.<br />
<strong>The</strong> two councillors raised<br />
their concerns again during<br />
Monday night’s council<br />
meeting as part of a motion<br />
on Whole Of Life Cycle reports<br />
prepared by council<br />
officers.<br />
Of particular concern is<br />

the 10 to 15 year life cycle<br />
of synthetic turf and the<br />
eventual possibility of imposing<br />
a levy on All Saints<br />
and other soccer clubs to<br />
replace it.<br />
Councillor Williams has<br />
also expressed concerns<br />
about the petro-chemical<br />
composition of synthetic<br />
turf which he warns will<br />
“sterilise” the soil and could<br />
generate a hot “micro-climate”<br />
for junior players.<br />
“Is there is a liability for<br />
council if a child gets heat<br />
stress?” Clr Williams asked.<br />
But Liberal Deputy Mayor<br />
Ben Collins and Liberal Clr<br />
Zac Miles see things differently.<br />
“I think this is pre-emptive<br />
motion at best and at worst<br />
an attempt to hinder this<br />
project,” Clr Miles said.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Deputy Mayor agreed.<br />
“This is a reactive process<br />
to tie a bureaucratic knot in<br />
the project so it never happens,”<br />
he said.<br />
Mayor Mark Bennett<br />
thanked Councillor Williams<br />
for drawing the possible<br />
heat risks for children<br />
