Picturesque Donegal Reserve slated for development - but what is the cost?

We have learned that the beautiful Donegal Reserve (not pictured here) is slated for development as it is "end of life", whatever that means.

It used to be a popular spot with the younger residents when it was equipped with a swing, a roundabout and see saws - all obvious death traps and rightly removed.

Currently the park is very popular with boat and trailer owners looking for somewhere to park.




But there is a problem - street numbering. The properties either side of the reserve are 12 and 14 so what number will the new development be? 12a perhaps, but there are better options. The editor proposes re-numbering the whole side of the street starting at 0.

Development options include a 20 or 40 story high rise, a high security prison, nuclear refinement facility, wind farm or public housing. It would make a fine platform entry for the new Killarney to Sydney underground rail link.
