EARLIER tonight I received a petition containing the signatures of more than 300 people who are opposed to the proposal of Humana Pty Ltd to build an unspecified fast food restaurant on the corner of George and Burnett Sts in New Norfolk. I have not yet decided how I will vote on this proposal, but it will be my pleasure to table the petition at this week's council meeting and report the concerns of this large body of people.
This is just a thought but..for all those people opposing: how about the developers/council reference the NSW Heritage council's policy titled "Street Smart; Corporate Development in Historic Town Centres"?
ReplyDeleteThis policy has been endorsed by McDonalds Australia and outlines the principles for designing a new building so that it fits into a significant townscape.
