  • Those not in support the proposal said...

    Those not in support said.....

    • concerns about traffic and safety, especially during construction, suggesting access via Cottage Lane instead.
    • disappointed by the lack of plans and feared future subdivision.
    • land was originally reserved to restrict access and now seems sold for revenue.
    • Concerns for tree loss, with calls for replanting and reinvesting in local amenities.
    • Woodland Drive was described as quiet, with the green space valued for recreation and future generations.

Those who were unsure said...

Six respondents were 'unsure whether to support or not support the proposal', primarily due to:

  • a lack of clarity around its intent, ownership, and broader community benefit.
  • viewed access as logical but opposed any move that would support further subdivision.
  • environmental concerns, with requests to preserve existing native vegetation and consult Council's ecological experts.
  • seeking more information and transparency before offering support.
