"Although I like a miniature railway myself - I think they're great fun, I take my kids to the one at Stuart Park."

"This site however is near the national park, it's zoned C3 environmental management and that is a zoning that was only reasonably recently decided by this council. The entire site is a bushfire hazard and would require significant land clearing for protection to enable any use of that site."

Mithra Cox, Greens councillor on Wollongong Council.
