 Costa hit back at the Council, complaining in the "Macarthur Chronicle" that he had received 12 letters from Wollondilly Council.Despite being the Minister for Regional Development at the time, in 2008 Costa disavowed knowledge or responsibility for a Labor government project that would have seen a new commuter car park in his electorate built next to existing family homes as a replacement for a car park facing the Macarthur train station.It was proposed that the former car park be converted into a tavern by commercial developers.
