What's happening?
The City of Marion Council plans to revoke the community status of green space at 7A Chestnut Court Tonsley and allow out-of-state developer MAB CCT Pty Ltd to build a factory for tenancy by Tesla, American car and energy company.More Details
Who is MAB CCT?
MAB CCT (Pty Ltd) is a Western Australia based developer, known previously as 3A MEARS WY (Pty Lld).They have not developed in Tonsley before, and we suspect they strategically changed their name in July 2024 to attempt credibility via association to the Tonsley Innovation District's MAB building.
What is Tesla?
Tesla is an American car and energy company which makes electric cars and batteries for homes and the grid, and who's CEO and largest shareholder is Elon Musk.They are infamous for unsafe working conditions, union suppression, and racial discrimination within their facilities.
Who is Elon Musk?
Elon Musk is the world's richest person. He is deeply involved politically in the USA, giving at least $260M to Donald Trump's election campaign.He now runs the new US Government's 'Department of Government Efficiency' (DOGE); a position he simply brought through power and influence, and was never elected for.
