I refer to the article, ‘Kibbleplex sold but community not trusted with any details’ (CCN Jan 28).
Your continuing illuminating reporting of this imminent sale confirms council has absolutely no intention of consulting with the community regarding the proposed sale of this valuable asset currently providing 400 commuter car parks, with the possibility of extending up to 600.
Interestingly, council endeavoured to convert Kibble Park into a car park around 1970. Apparently the sale will yield no profit since acquisition five years ago, so why sell?
Who will provide a replacement car park and amenity for the current 400 users and the future visitors to the nearby approved five by 27 storey Mariners Plaza and Waterside commercial and residential developments and at what cost?
Thank you Coast Community News for again shining a bright light on this apparently questionable transaction expected to settle on March 1, 2016. Bring on the forthcoming amalgamation of councils.
