Following a leaflet drop by Mosman Village Community to all Mosman households, hundreds of residents made written submissions to Mosman Council on its draft strategic planning statement.
Council says there has been “a tremendous response from the Mosman community”.
Here’s an excerpt from Mosman Council’s web site:
Mosman’s draft Local Strategic Planning Statement (LSPS) – on public exhibition for a six week period from 27 June to 7 August 2019 – has attracted a tremendous response from the Mosman community and others with:
- Over 660 written submissions received
- 80 members of the community attending a public meeting
- 2,200 visits to Council’s consultation website for the project
- 441 downloads of the draft LSPS and supporting documents
The vast majority of submissions received raise concerns about future developments in the local centres, in particular the possible redevelopment of land in Mosman Village for a Woolworths supermarket, and issues such as heritage, village character, scale of retail development, economic viability of small businesses, traffic, delivery vehicle access and pedestrian safety…
Mosman’s draft LSPS sets out Council’s land use planning vision for the next 20 years, and as such the feedback received from this public exhibition is invaluable in ensuring the draft plan responds to community concerns and values – so thank you to everyone who provided feedback.
Thank you to all our supporters who volunteered to distribute leaflets around Mosman.
And of course thanks to all members of the community who made a submission to Council or attended the public meeting on the LSPS.
Our voices are being heard!
