Hey Grant,
Thanks for that! I know that when the boats were in, we had a lot of infrastructure that had to go in at work... And in the end, it was not THAT big (numbers wise, thus over catered, and toilets etc...) of an event. There was also (from memory) a lot of discussion around the suitability for Syd Harbour & Sustainability/Environmental impacts etc...
I would therefore have assumed that IF it were to come to Syd Harbour, the same, often heated, discussions would occur again, at least for our site!
Now with Perth having it, what sort of an area is need to host such an event, and depending on the area, can Sydney actually HOLD this type of event given limited airspace (city buildings ans proximity of Syd Airport)?
Cheers
