His own neighboring council had the town planner "in bed" with the developers -all signed off and secure done to the rules and the "in bed " bit was not a figure of speach as she "was doing them all" and they got some real concessions in their planning permission - just a few extra floors here and there .
dude, I live in Australia. I don't have an artificial reef in my neighbourhood.

I suspect that ASR had to work very hard to secure this contract, and it was not sewn up from the start.

The cult of the "grommet bots' was invoked by a simple term -"show me you want this reef" its a quote from a web page sent to me invoking the "bots ' to collect money at street corners for them.
yes it is a "twilight zone ' story that is developing of how an acedemic planned "ten reefs in ten years , 100 in twenty" again from info sent to me - they were all to be patented ASR's with a 40% margin in each of them.
The virual empire existed for a while but all that exists now is the "bournemouth memorandum"
for that to be the case, the local surfer 'bots' would need to be influencing the local town planners. I think it is far more likely that ASR pitched the financial gains of increased local tourism to secure the contract.
I also tend to agree with you. You are, indeed, tripping.
