BCC Northern Link Newsroom - surprise, surprise, they still don't get it!

Northern Link Newsroom HERE announces:
December 2010
Coordinator-General's Change Report released
Workforce parking
The Coordinator-General has refused the current proposal for workforce parking in Anzac Park. Council will undertake a detailed study of this location and alternative options early in 2011. The report confirms the existing approval of workforce parking arrangements detailed in the EIS, and approved in the Coordinator-General’s report of April 2010.


No, No, No, Northern Link. What the Coordinator-General said in the Coordinator-General's Change Report prepared as a requirement under Section 35I of the State Development and Public Works Organisation Act 1971, released just yesterday, and what you will be doing in early 2011 is:

CG Change Report: "Note that the Anzac Park proposal may be reconsidered in the subsequent assessment as a part of the project’s parking proposal, however the proponent is advised to consider this option only after other options have been fully explored. Additionally, it is recommended that it be considered as being used in conjunction with other parking solutions not provided in the RD."

"...the proponent is advised to consider this option only after other options have been fully explored; the proponent is advised to consider this option only after other options have been fully explored; the proponent is advised to consider this option only after other options have been fully explored..."

So in early 2011 Northern Link will be fully exploring other options. There are other options which will satisfy the imposed condition for workforce car parking - FULLY explore them and keep your hands off Anzac Park, Toowong. Pay attention Northern Link, the Coordinator-General is the decision-maker here. Take a hint Northern Link, like us, the Coordinator-General does not want a workforce car park in Anzac Park either.

(Will Friends of ANZAC Park Toowong need to do a 'WikiLeaks' in early 2011 to keep Northern Link out of our park?)
