It's going to create jobs, tourism, and help with making Shoalhaven roads safer as more people will likely take their passion to the track instead of letting loose on the streets.
It also could prove useful to encourage the government to change licensing and provide real driver training and testing instead of the lousy kerb side stop, hill start, reverse park and three-point turn.
This country is becoming a joke with the poor effort it puts into road safety and training before it allows people to drive on public roads.
Cars and bikes are ridiculously fast compared to our out dated speed limits which however were designed back when cars struggled to even reach 100km/h.
Yet they have more safety features, and better braking systems. Speed limits are decreasing everywhere and speed enforcement devices are multiplying tenfold yet the death toll still remains.
I wonder why? Maybe speed isn't really the reason? Sure residential areas and school zones built up high traffic areas are well thought about and have the lower limits, but what about country roads?
What if people were trained correctly how to control a car to begin with in a controlled environment?
Taught what an apex of a corner is, how to control a car that has lost traction, how to drive at a speed faster then 90kmh? Nobody cares do they?

Motorsport complex could be a huge asset
A motorsport complex would be a huge asset for the area especially if it was to V8 Supercar standards.
The revenue generated would be an enormous boost for the area and provide other benefits including driver training and road safety courses.
If council did an environmental search in surrounding areas they would likely find more of these rare orchids. Is it possible to relocate these orchids? Has the environmental study inspected the area surrounding the motorsport complex site?
This motorsport park would also be a huge asset for Shoalhaven Council

Tighter cat regulations long overdue
Tighter regulation of cat owners responsibilities is long overdue. Our wildlife are the casualties of past neglect.

Confined cats to owner's property
Cats are horrible pests and kill off entire native populations in an area. Many people just want lots of cats to feed and don't care about anything or anyone else. They call themselves animals lovers though what they do kill many more native animals than the cats they hoard.

Guile's appalling flyer
The content of that flyer goes beyond common decency.
It appears to be written from the Trump handbook on producing fake news. To make matters worse in the middle of pandemic lockdowns and restrictions he invokes a COVID-19 scare tactic.
His actions are a clear indication of why the Shoalhaven council needs a mass transfusion of new councillors. Amanda Findley has done a stellar job under the most difficult conditions. The Self Interest Group (SIG) has damaged the Shoalhaven.

Nowra needs a hydrotherapy pool
Nowra needs a hydrotherapy pool. The heated pool at Bomaderry is too cold. I have to use a private physiotherapy spa pool which is way too small.
