What the community said about the revised proposals

22 July 2021

Thank you to everyone who provided feedback on the revised proposals. We heard from 34 residents in total, including talking to people in the Reserve and online feedback.

The customised container kiosk is the main point of contention. Those who support the kiosk believe it will be a positive contribution to the reserve with social outcomes for residents and commuters if the ferry service is resumed. Those who do not support the kiosk question it’s viability in this location and adverse social and aesthetic impacts on the Reserve. Some participants advocated for a shade structure/rotunda to be considered, giving Council the opportunity to validate demand for a kiosk without the upfront expense.

Other top concerns were connections via the proposed stairway to Lockhardt Avenue and parking/traffic control. Residents shared an alternative for stair access to the road via private property and advocated for a revision of the turning circle and a resident parking scheme.

We anticipate this will be discussed at a Council meeting in August 2021. Agendas and the live stream will be available on our website.
