All good from an Eagles perspective.
Our co-patron Kerry Sibraa AO and number one season ticket holder Thomas Keneally AO presented to council as part of the public submission.
Good to see a good mingling of Eagles fans, Scott Penn, Alicia from the club and the gentleman above all being there.
Really just another step in progressing but positive in that (and read the report from the link above for the full story)...
There is now a definitive and factual outcome as to what the local community wants (Sea Eagles to stay at Brookie, commercial development of the southern side of the ground, improved facilities, government funding etc etc)
A "softening" of some of the hard line councillors who now realise that the community want to support the venture and they are gettig "on-board"
A better understanding of the concerns of the local residents that will allow us to work with them to ensure an outcome that will work for everyone
An agreement to progress to the next step to look at what can be done, when, for how much and where will funds come from.
All in all a good meeting (mind you the motion was tabled immediately after the breach of code of conduct of a well known councillor which, as you'd imagine, went on for some time...)
