    Thanks for your comment Deborah and I share your concerns. At our Little Manly Precinct we have spent a great deal of time reviewing the plan and lodged our submission last week.

    For those who haven't seen the Plan - go to www.manly2015.com and make your own judgements.

    A great deal of work was done to prepare our submission regarding Manly’s 2015 Plan. Our major concern was the traffic plan and its potential to strangle the traffic to and from the Eastern Hill.

    Our traffic expert, Laurie Lawlor, has found that the Traffic Report commissioned by Council is flawed and traffic counts were done on a Tuesday & Wednesday - no weekend or special events were monitored.

    In addition none of the public traffic & transport authorities such as the RTA and STA, nor the Police, Taxis etc have been consulted about the proposed changes.

    When we asked for a copy of the Geotech report in relation to the viability of the Oval Carpark, we were informed: "a Geotech & environmental report would be prepared as a part of the development application process". Many locals will tell you that a report was done some years ago regarding a carpark under the oval and it was found to be not feasible due to groundwater levels.

    In my opinion it would seem that this 'vision' is more of a pipe dream – lots of pretty pictures but absolutely no due process to assess its feasibility. One would have to question the point of asking for community feedback on things that may not be feasible or viable.
    What do you think?
