Wollongong Council's proposal

So... the Council have finally passed their draft proposal on how to handle all of us renegade fitness trainers.

Whilst the majority of us would be in favour of some type of licensing arrangement, why should we be the only users of 'public land' for 'private enterprise' that need to submit a quote indicating a dollar figure that we think we should pay for the use of whichever parcel of land that we want to train on?

Surely a simple $1000 per annum fee or something along those lines would be a fairer way to offer these licences? At least then we know what we are up for. But, to simply say we need to quote... what if we don't quote high enough for the revenue raisers?? What then of our business?
