Consultation for the Special Rate Variation (SRV) highlighted community perception of the disparity of services and infrastructure in established areas as opposed to the newer areas of the City.Council's Neighbourhood Renewal Program has been actively engaged with residents of established areas across the city to revitalise places & make public spaces more appealing for use by a broad range of community members. Requiring an additional $300,000 per year to successfully revitalise and connect identified communities the implementation of a number of recommendations of Neighbourhood Action Plans will be significantly delayed should the SRV not be successful. This includes bus shelter and seating in areas used by older residents in Kingswood Park, Cranebrook and Kingswood and enhanced lighting in Londonderry, particularly near bus stops.Is this an important issue for you? Would you be prepared to pay more for this?
