An obscure Chinese-backed property developer has made a dramatic legal threat over the planned redevelopment of Penrith Stadium, claiming it has been ignored as a key stakeholder and its mega-project next door will be overshadowed and is at risk.
Tomasy’s principal, Denis Smith, said the government “must acknowledge that the community consultation process has failed abysmally to consult the applicant’s nearest neighbour”. Smith also accused rival planning consultants Ethos Urban of having an “absurd” and “blatant” conflict of interest because it prepared the EIS for the stadium project while being the principal planning consultant for developer SHMH’s 2000 apartment project next door.
