A controversial section in the Port of Sidney agreement .
that was changed Friday has now been signed by developer

The change was made after opponents said it left too much
discretion in the hands of developers.

Mayor Norma Sealey said the change, which states at least
100 transient berths must be built by.Sidney Pier Holdings
was made after her opponents took the section out of
context to use against her and the development:

Wood says Sealey and other

aldermen were ‘‘completely and absolutely:incompetent to
have to bring the agreement back four days after signing it.”’
Wood said the ‘‘whole reason’’ for the development was to
have a port witha minimum of 200 transient berths.
Even with the change, the guarantee is only a miniumum of

““This was being used by those opposed to the Port of
Sidney development to suggest that the developer might not’

build any transient berths,’

’ Sealey said.

‘This of course is nonsense as it was Kelley that wanted to
ensure he could get 200 transient berths in behind the
breakwater for economic reasons, which was also borne out
by Novacorp, the town’s economic consultant.’

ment was changed.

must build on Crown land:and the shore, within.12 months of
