Just days after the secret sale of public land by Hawkesbury City Council to a pet food manufacturer became public, calls for land to be rezoned for industrial use have already begun. The $5 million approved sale of the bush block, which was conducted in secret, without public tender or community consultation, has sparked outrage, particularly as the land is rich in biodiversity and is home to the Woodlands Park Pony Club and has been for 40 years.
