I remember just after the new time tables took place last year, one of our group members Ivy advised myself that the vacant block of land at the corner of Bulolo Drive and Tamaro Avenue was recently sold and there would be shop or shop development there. Now if the new owner of that block is aware that buses were being deleted and/or replaced with limited services (shopper hoppers), would they still continue with their business development? This site was a former Petrol station thus before development would proceed environment would have to be checked and cleared (which I heard sold watered down petrol - just rumours).
Time and time again Whalan businesses not just depend on local community members walking to the shops, some of them now even catch taxis to shops from their homes and they wait for commuters to come from buses and then they would purchase items for their every day use.
This also invites enquiries from Real estate agents that when they say 'property is close to transport' once the services have been deleted do they advertise 'Property is less close to transport' or omit the closeness to transport phrase!
