Sydney Wharves To Move?

[raz0r$harP.UK]

SMH article here.

One of Sydney's most familiar sights - the thousands of new cars parked bumper-to-bumper at White Bay - will disappear in 2008.

Shipments of imported cars will move from the Glebe Island and White Bay wharves to Port Kembla under a plan announced by the State Government today.

Port Kembla?? I had so much fun driving my cars out of the docks down James Craig Road.. the day I picked up my car I sat outside Liquidity and just watched all the people who also were getting their cars out..

Also be heaps of extra costs getting a towie from Pt Kembla to your RAWS / workshop if needed.

so now I have to drive the cars we import from Port Kembla instead of Glebe.....

ahh well I guess you take the good with the bad

hahaha

You lucky bastard, Tosh...

And probably on trade plates too, right?

Cheers,

correct

I'm not surprised...

It was only a matter of time before property developers rape and pillage that massive waterfront area.

That my friends, is PRIME real estate, and is being wasted as a holding ground for imported cars

I can only imagine how many hundreds of millions that land will fetch on the developer market.

I will now extend a standing offer to all PRIVATE importers for locked garage facilities 5 mins from Port Kembla. If you have to get your car the hell away from the wharfies, let me know.

if the Docks in Port Kembla are still controlled by the same group who do Glebe now (I forget their name), then there'll be no security issues to worry about The old dodgy wharfies were all booted out and the new guys came in and took control. Wharf security has improved out of sight since and we haven't had any issues since the change over.

I surely hope they will continue to be run by the same guys... Roger and Kelly down there are good and it'll be sad to see them go.
