Here is my submission for anyone interested. Basically, I'm one of those who wants to see the proposed infrastructure (ie public transport - its a black spot here) before they start rezoning the place into a CBD. The Government's proposal can be viewed here. The residents action group also has a website. I'm glad to see that the Government has agreed to extend the comment period by three weeks to 28 February, it was a bit rich releasing the proposal just before Xmas, and that a transport plan will also be developed.

A well-known cafe! I'm not anti-development as I hope my sub makes clear. I accept that the city is going to keep growing and people have to live someone. What worries me is re-zoning w/o the mooted infrastructure, particularly public transport. As I say in the sub, I think many businesses are struggling to get and keep staff around here because of road congestion and the lack of public transport. You can't have a CBD or a major hospital w/o a LOT of public transport.
