6. Subcommittees 2016/2017
6.1 Master Plan - Jean & Jeff met with Luke Gray and Maddie Dobbin. Neighbourhood plan program underway. Phase 1 Investigate, 2 Formal consultation, 3 Review, 4 Finalize, staged implementation 2018-2018 (10 to 20 years). Key themes, 1) Main Street 2) Access, movement and car parking 3) Stormwater 4) Open space and Community 5) Heritage, Character and Identity. Jeff and I reviewed a map of Hahndorf, discussed flooding, and traffic flow. Council will not take on heavy vehicles, not in their capability to find a solution. Sent Resident’s Win submission to Maddie and suggested she consider discussing signage options with the DPTI. Jean suggests that when Malcolm returns, subcommittee meets with Rebekah Sharkie to discuss a way forward. Rebekah needs to be on board to attract federal infrastructure money, as does new State rep (after election), and the Mayor. Malcolm’s subcommittee to draft letter to Rebekah. Action Malcolm Luke cited Balls Hill interchange as a successful infrastructure program. Comments from Committee members included children marching and protesting heavy vehicles, risk at Pine Avenue where it meets the Main Street, and intersection of Balhannah Road and Main Street. Council is aware of traffic problems and is formulating idea’s to address parking and general traffic.
Flood mapping and a stormwater management plan are underway (engineering firm Tonkin’s has been hired), to address and prevent flooding. Council does not have an easement on any of the creeks in Hahndorf. You are responsible for the creek running through your back yard, Actions need to be within NRM guidelines. We discussed holding a public meeting for interested parties.
Playground on Church Street near bowling club was also discussed under Open Space and Community. I again requested that planners speak to Lyndell Davidge (the Academy, National Trust) in regard to Heritage issues, before formulating idea’s for public consultation.
Contacted by The Advertiser, regarding new State government initiative announced in the budget, ‘Fund My Neighbourhood’, $40 million, giving community groups the opportunity to nominate and choose neighbourhood improvement projects. Checked out the website and put us on the mailing list. Possible funding for a neighbourhood plan project.
