RR&BA response to pump track submissions

  • The R.R.B.A. decided to make a submission supporting the installation of a temporary pump track. The submission was to be accompanied by the following concerns: (a) the inadequacies of the community engagement process which did not encourage collaborative planning;  the development of a longer term scope of community needs and what place the site at No 10 Shirley Rd has in any subsequent plan; consideration of the placement of a permanent pump track in MacFarlane Park as requested in the original submission; the quality of the surface on the temporary track regarding wear and noise issues.
  • It was noted that the Council had received about 40 submissions so far, most of which were in favour of the installation of the track
