RHODODENDRON LAWNS - COUNCIL VOTE FOR FURTHER CONSULTATION
There is a sigh of relief as the Council decides to gather more info regarding the proposals contained in the report that would have seen the lawns turned in a carpark.
Staff felt that the public consultation was robust enough to have afforded sufficient consultation. The Hamilton community clearly indicated that they felt ignored and thus brought a petition to Council to have a new assessment of the proposals.
Councillor Wilson was concerned that he could not see evidence of projected parking requirements and thus questioned the validity of the assumptions made regarding the need for the extra parking.
I have always had the concern that two things are amiss in deciding projects of such import as this one about the Hamilton Gardens. The poor efforts in the consultation phase and two the scanty evidence brought to Council for approval.
We will now hopefully see an aggressive briefing and consultation process with the folks of Hamilton and grater clarity of the reasons and motivations for the proposals regarding the future of our Hamilton Gardens.
