So what does this mean to us in terms of moola?
I've forgotten some of the details from the AGM, but I believe we get a certain percentage of the $ from the "uplift" (the extra 200 units). Possibly 10%. That was our incentive for supporting it.
In the end it means that we are on tracks for the estimates they presented at the AGM, as they were factoring in this being approved... Expecting $70m total from the development (since it began). $10m was paid back at the start. $7.5m is to be paid in April, $6m of that going to pay off all our loans (from private individuals), with the club now likely able to deal with a bank again. Then $10-15m of that total amount will be needed to pay for the new club. Leaving somewhere around $35-40m. This is all based off estimates of unit sale prices etc. And includes the assumption that we will sell our share of the retail/commercial side for a lump sum.
It also means that the eastern-side development should be able to start at the end of the season.
