Weighing up the Vetch's odds

The Durban Point Development's Neels Brink was quoted as saying that he believed three issues needed to considered equally in any development: the social, the environmental and the economic "Pledge to break EIA logjam" (The Mercury, August 8).


His position is compounded by his statement that the past few years had seen unfair bias placed on ecological issues.


However, if we review this in the context of his quest to destroy Vetch's, Brink seems to be acknowledging that the project should be shelved.


According to Brink, the balance is two to one against the building of a small-craft harbour at Vetch's. The social and ecological assessments are against, but the economic study, is, apparently, in favour.
