Question Time is an opportunity for questions to be addressed to Council and while the minutes record the general content, they do not purport to be a transcript of what was said by individuals. Likewise Councillor or Officer verbal responses are in summary form only. Views expressed may not be the views of Council.
Council's practice is to provide a separate document on its website setting out questions and responses including any more detailed written responses which may be provided subsequent to the meeting.
Debra Schulz asked the following in relation to the proposed closure of Ironbark Street, Waurn Ponds:
Can the residents be consulted about what they want from their street?
All other roads that meet with Rossack Drive can turn either left or right from their streets but with the new development we will not be able to turn right out of or into our street.
Can this decision be reviewed to allow access to our street? Is there something more the residents can do to appeal this decision?
Cr Andy Richards thanked Ms Schulz for her question and indicated he would take the issue up with Council officers and contact her again once he has spoken to the engineers and viewed the plans. Cr Richards added there is a study coming back to Council regarding changed traffic conditions in Waurn Ponds, which includes Rossack Drive.
Cr Richards presented a petition from 35 residents objecting to the proposed closure of Ironbark Street access turning right from Rossack Drive.
