Everyone wants improvements to the management of the foreshore. People want it to be lovely, a place they - and visitors - can be proud of.
Trees were the hottest topic.
- should there be trees along the Promenade at all?
- what sort of trees should there be? Some favoured palms, others liked the suggested Norfolk Island pines, others preferred banksias
Since there were a range of strongly held views on trees, that aspect of the plan will be suspended for the time being while the agreed improvements are implemented.
There is $456,000 in this year's budget for Sandridge. This budget allocation has been hard fought for. I think every passionate person wants something very beautiful for this unique part of the world so we want to make sure we spend this money wisely and well.
