12 years long enough for cinema debate

I am shocked that this Avoca cinema debacle continues.

Surely 12 years is enough for Gosford Council to have made a fair DA decision. The covert and overt campaign against the Hunters has been both personal and misleading, and I would suggest that they have paid dearly for this whole debacle. There needs to be a fair and unbiased discussion as to the best solution possible for all. That may not be a heritage order, which may in fact destroy any hope of viability in what has been built, compensated and sustained. We are in the century of dialogue, and I would hope that the Central Coast people could make a fair decision on the best way forward to preserve one of its most culturally valuable icons, before the waters rise and make the process entirely irrelevant.
