Bark vs. bite

From the Landcorp (Western Australia) website :

• “LandCorp is the Western Australian Government’s land and property developer.”
• Services include “Optimising triple bottom line outcomes from government-owned land.”
• “Sustainable development requires a different way of thinking about neighbourhoods in our cities and regions and involves identifying ways to demonstrate environmental leadership, community wellbeing, design excellence and economic health to produce integrated and holistic development concepts.”
• “We apply our sustainability vision to our work to bring a balance of social, environmental and economic outcomes for West Australians.”

From a tenders website:
Landcorp: “We’re looking for someone to develop a huge piece of land in Karratha. Within the Nickol West estate in Karratha sits approximately 24 hectares of land ready to be developed for up to 250 residential lots.
And for the first time, we’re asking private developers to take on a project of this size. There are no design guidelines, home density requirements or limitations on methods of lot sales, so you can hit the ground running and create a residential development exactly how you envisage it.”
