SA is not fit for purpose. The adopted CS allows a phased approach to development of the Northern Fringe/IGS and its SA judged multiple starts as unsustainable. The revised CS now allows multi-site development across the NF. A detailed examination of the implications must be included in the new SA and a full critique of the rationale behind the proposed changes. With multiple starts, if one developer hits financial problems, the added burden on remaining developers may make their operation unviable and halt delivery. This would blight the land. What contingency is there if market forces impact on infrastructure delivery?
