 It's been a long time coming but finally the future of the old Seaforth TAFE site is assured with the site recently acquired from the Dept of Education by Manly Council for just $4.46m . Well done Manly Council!
The well-below market value price is on the proviso that the site be used for community purposes. What community services would you like to see it used for?

What's good/needed for Seaforth is a village-feel offering lots of outdoor/piasa style space with cafes and restaurants and food markets where locals (and others attracted to this layout) are encouraged to walk easily with their dog and families from their homes (why does everyone feel they need to drive and therefore feel it necessary for increasing car space?) to sit and enjoy food/coffee/wine and people-watching morning, noon and into the night. The TAFE site could be a perfect space for pedestrian/outdoor mall connecting the old library (which should be a beautiful bookshop/coffee shop) to a semi-circle of commercial restaurants and cafes with further commercial office space (or educational rooms for services such as dance studios, art studios etc) on the first level then apartments on top (more people to add as patrons to this community) 31/7/2011 04:06:45 pm
a hub show case for sustainable products / processes and buisnesses with high emphasis on interactive community space ... a NGO base for community groups and volunteers with training rooms / theatre / workshops .. a chance to refit it all out in the greenist most earth friendly manner as an example of what can be done .. but maybe should hsve been done 10 yrs ago :-9 Leave a Reply. |
