NEW BRIGHTON 'shovel ready projects'
I note the council has put forward to Govt. for funding a BUTTERFLY HOUSE and a NATIVE BIRD ENCLOSURE/SANCTUARY in New Brighton. This has been approved and will be going ahead. - apparently, so I wonder what others think of these projects - are they a good priority? I would have thought before they attempt to attract more people to the suburb they would have got the town centre sorted out. As for a Native bird enclosure/sanctuary - why? The RED ZONE is going to be developed SOMETIME and planted with native vegetation which of course will become a natural bird, invertebrate, butterfly, and insect habitat.
I believe there are much greater priorities which should take preference.
