put $1 million into the stadium upgrade and had never, as far as he knows, asked council previously for money. “This is a club that is ultra-successful, well managed and have put their money where their mouth is.” Cr Aitken said, in his opinion, while there have been moments of angst on both sides of negotiations over the past year or so, he is “uncomfortable” with council’s overall stance towards the association. “It is an absolute tragedy that council has seen fit to walk away from this project. That could have been avoided by council exercising good manners and a conciliatory approach in a normal conversational style at the discussion table,” he said. “I was present at a number of meetings where I found the aggression that was demonstrated towards the association to be extremely unprofessional in an atmosphere that was distinctly uncomfortable. “As always and consistently I have supported the proposal of the basketball stadium from its inception and still continue to do so. I also think that the FDBA is a leading and highly-regarded organisation in this city which brings enormous benefits to people of all ages, particularly young people.” Federal funding of $5.2 million remains “on the table” according to federal Dunkley Liberal MP Chris Crewther and Basketball Victoria says it will try to work with the Labor state government and Sports and Recreation Victoria to try to save the stadium upgrade without council’s $4.5 million contribution from ratepayers.
