The stadium will go ahead.  But not at the 3rd or 4th revision. More like in 2 to 3 Years

Why would the media report on it? Nobody gives a stuff about them.

Exactly right. 
No idea who they are. 
No scrutiny.

I'm assuming it is one of two reasons:

a) Lack of soccer media in Australia to take an interest

b) Nothing worth reporting on (i.e. it's happening, just behind closed doors and bloody slow).

It could be a combination of the two but I'd assume it's more lack of media to take an interest.

It's also a private development by a private entity. They have zero obligation to share anything (good or bad) to anyone outside of the organisation. It would be nice if they did share more, but they really have no obligation to do so.

Most private companies do share what their doing .  Hell i work for one of Australia's largest privately owned forklift companies but they share what their plans are to the related industry press . It's good Pr

Meanwhile, back in the real world NPL clubs are developing their grounds at a rapid pace:
Even old "cash only" Choakleigh will have a better stadium than the charlatans in Tarneit....

Rumours have it the Georgies relationship won’t be continued. 
A new training base awaits them.

Considering they literally cover up the Georgies  signange whilst using their club. It wouldn't surprise me that  they cracked the shits and asked them to move out.

Yep 30 months and only 2 months ago they said they had not yet appointed a project manage nor a builder. We don't even have a recent design render. Even with Covid roadblocks, you'd think the design and engineering part of the project would have been completed at the very least.

They were supposed to ready when probuild  were supposed to be the builders. Either they took their renders as is their right or wu purposely didn't get any renders done

There is no footballing media in this country mate. Just a bunch of bloggers who get paid by the APL clubs to write puff pieces. Independent, ethical journalism is dying in the face of the onslaught of clickbait gutter trash diatribes. Its no use trying to shine a light on the dodgy dealings which lead to these charlatans being awarded a franchise, the fish rots from the head and fat Nick and dopey Greg have never even been publically asked the question, let alone been compelled to explain the decision.  
Its the price we pay for having a football administration which is more concerned with financial outcomes (lets not even mention the possibility of personal financial gain for some) than actually ensuring the sport as a whole is successful and we play it at our best level. 
At the end of the day, if the 500 "fans" of this franchise don't mind being lied too and don't care enough (or understand enough) to ask for certainty from the "club" they are so invested in then nothing will be done about it. If the planned estate doesn't go ahead in the next few years for whatever reason and there is no reason to build a stadium anymore do you think the might "Nero-Verdi" will still exist? I dont.
