Poll Says Locals Want a Referendum on Oval Car Park

28/5/2014

10 Comments

 
PictureCouncil's plans have locals angry.
A simple survey undertaken by the Good For Manly group clearly shows that locals don’t want a car park built under Manly Oval.

Circulated widely, including by the Chamber of Commerce  who support the Oval car park, the survey asked four simple questions.  So far 754 people have responded with a clear message: No Oval Car Park 75.20%, Keep Whistler Street Car Park 71.58%, Revitalise the laneways in Manly 92.30%, Have a referendum to decide 81.00%.

Strong opposition is building against Manly Council’s 2015 Plan that has at its core the demolition of the centrally located Whistler Street car park and the building of a $34million new car park under Manly Oval. This week former Mayors of Manly, Sue Sacker  and Peter Macdonald,  publicly came out against the project.

“The community are angry.  They don’t believe they have been listened to by Manly Council.  Despite hundreds of letters against the Oval car park project, a public meeting attended by 400 people, 8 out of the 9 active resident precinct groups voting strongly against the car park and complaints lodged with Mike Baird’s office, the Liberal majority on the Council seem hell-bent on pushing this through”, claimed Independent Councillor, Candy Bingham.

The four independent Councillors, Clrs Barbara Aird, Candy Bingham, Hugh Burns and Cathy Griffin, submitted independent expert reports to the Office of Local Government raising serious questions about the viability of the Manly 2015 Plan.

“We have come to the conclusion that Manly Council is under estimating the financial cost, construction risk, and community opinion, and over estimating its own ability.”  Clr Bingham said.

A final assessment on the Oval Car Park project is expected to be received from the Office of Local Government shortly.
