The video of KC and the Sunshine Band has been taken down.
It was inappropriate in its celebratory display. We apologise.
Whilst some of us are pleased that the recommendations are favourable to us - there are others in the community who are likely to be even worse off. In particular, those in Napier Street, who will have their pocket park ripped out, 27 months of truck mayhem, with the 4-5 months of excavation and shoring mooted to have 20-30 trucks per day.
This is still a unconscionable impost on the community. We must stridently object at the Traffic Committee meeting on Friday

The Latest The Latest The Latest!!
Just in via email from Michael Soo at the Council - these recommendations for the Traffic Committee Meeting.
The full set of recommendations can be downloaded from here.
We've just grabbed a couple of key points:
Recommendations from the Traffic Committee
B) That the Construction Traffic Management Plan be amended so that all demolition, excavation and construction phase traffic will enter and leave the site directly from/to Greens Road (which additionally includes access to Greens Road from the Council owned Napier Street road closure) except for vehicles required for works along the Selwyn Street frontage where access cannot be obtained from Green’s Road as noted in (C), and amended to reflect all other conditions.
With exceptions:
C) Exceptions to (B) include the delivery of fencing, hoardings, tree protections, screens, site establishment, bins/skips and equipment of light strip out and asbestos removal and the like for the buildings which are the subject of the redevelopment fronting Selwyn Street. These exceptions, including the occasional delivery and removal of equipment to demolish buildings, are permitted to be delivered and removed using Selwyn Street during the demolition phase only or via Josephson Street and Selwyn Street for equipment that cannot be delivered via the Napier Street road closure during all phases of work.
Naturally we'll need time to digest and discuss. But some of us are doing a little dance!
