Truckulent COFA

COFA loves to bug us with their trucks.

They’re supposed to load and unload within the curtilage of their grounds. Them’s the rules. But they often don't.

They have a ‘pretend’ loading dock in the big main road on Greens Road. But it’s more convenient for them to drive around through our tiny heritage streets, because they don’t want to be annoyed by their own trucks – so let the locals deal with them.

I mean…who’d want to be bothered by trucks if you could palm them off to someone else?

Now they’ve got their pennies from Kevin – $48 million in fact (nice one, COFA) – they want to redevelop their campus – a two to three year project. All good, you might say. And we’re really happy for them.

But they don’t want to be bothered too much with all the messy, dirty, demolition and construction fallout. So they’re sending it all to us – their insignificant neighbours.

Thanks a bunch COFA. You get your shiny new campus. We get the trucks. What a nice corporate neighbour.

This is why most of the people who live here have had a cake full of their truculence.
That’s why we say: Hey COFA! Truck off!

The pictures below show trucks of all shapes and sizes doing two things:
1) loading and unloading outside the curtilage of their grounds
2) flagrantly not using the Greens Rd loading dock

Is this a delivery? Looks like it to me. Certainly, items exited the vehicle.


This little piece of trucker's delight has a hydraulic lift. Nice ... but noisy!. Vroom Vroom.
If only it could use Greens Rd.
