Prospect. Critics of $80 million project

While there has been initial support for the $80 million Wet'n'Wild theme park proposed for Prospect, from the NSW government, Blacktown City Council and the Western Sydney Regional Organisation of Councils (WSROC), the Blacktown City Chamber of Commerce & Industry president, Elias Kinnas, said he was reluctant to support the plan, as he believed it would offer little or no advantage to retailers in the local CBD. Five community-based groups are against the location of the project. A Village Roadshow spokesman said the company was aware of the initial reaction from the groups.
