SUMMARY OF ALD JANIE FINLAY FACEBOOK SO-CALLED CONSULTATION


THE COMMENTS ON ALDERMAN FINLAY’S FACEBOOK PAGE IN RESPONSE TO HER ONLINE SURVEY:
See below the comments that related to UTas move. All other comments were simply to say they had done the survey so I have not included them here. The few at the bottom, thanking her for ‘listening’ are examples of how some people can be conned by the Finlay ‘consultation’ line. I also left her link to last year’s so-called consultation. I deleted all the facebook pictures of people but I left one of Finlay’s and also I left Jason Cocker’s picture to see if any of you know him at all. (Is it possible that he believes in dictatorship – judging by his comment.)

Merry Roberts:  I did find the uni question a bit difficult. I’m very much against moving the uni at all but if the council continue to ignore the citizens and it does go ahead the area definitely will not manage traffic wise as it is. So yes, if the idiots pursue a uni at inveresk the traffic is a huge priority. It would simply be better if they listened and realised it’s not a popular decision and left UTAS where it is.
Tina Walker Same Merry!!!!
Janie Finlay Thanks for sharing your thoughts Merry.
Merry Roberts No worries Janie, will it help in any way or make absolutely any difference though? I know I’m not the only one who feels the council are not listening to us over the UTAS move.

Janie Finlay Merry Roberts there are definitely a range of views. Personally I support the move - and - know that it will require keeping the Uni to account with their commitments and require clear and strong decisions throughout the development application phase and the associated commitments around traffic management and parking (as two examples).
Merry Roberts So if the majority of Launceston residents were against UTAS moving to Inveresk would that make any difference at all? I’m just curious if it’s been a decision made with any input at all from the people who actually live here?

Carolyn Robinson I totally agree

Kim Pinner I totally agree.

Nanna Apted When does the council ever listen to the people who pay their wage. Gave away the land to the Uni. which is an independant business where the heads are paid huge wages and big paid holidays. Did not disclose the deal with UTAS for York Park. What will ratepayers get out of all this ?.

Nicole Day Yes I agree too!

Merry Roberts Interesting how even with all these comments Janie hasn’t got any more replies. I’m yet to find anyone outside of the council who wants UTAS to move.

Janie Finlay Hi Merry Roberts I have replies... just been busy and you all deserve a considered response

Merry Roberts Thank you for listening, honestly, I think as citizens we are all feeling like no one is hearing us. I’m glad you are asking, I just hope our thoughts and opinions make a difference.
Angela Walters Yes please leave Uni where it is. Will kill Mowbray and traffic at Inveresk horrendous
1
 Kelli Schultz yes, interesting there was no question asking if uni should be moved
Jason Cocker Sometimes the view of the majority is not the best idea
NAME? Done...same with the uni, I think it's creating traffic issues in an already busy spot. It will mean I avoid that area, (and the businesses in it) like the plague. Will this extra congestion mean a renewed focus on putting the eastern bypass on the table?

Shelley Ridgway So much funding and focus going into the city heart project but it and the preservation of our heritage didn't get a look in with your survey. Maybe covered in Cultural values listing but this is very broadbrush compared to an item such as the relationship with the Hawks FC.

Shelley Ridgway Ace that you're asking though!

JanieFinlay Shelley Ridgway appreciate the feedback!
I was actually really nervous putting it out there - there are so many important elements to our great city and so many massive projects right now ...

Lyn-ann Maxine Harris The uni should stay where it is there is land to develop where it is now . people north of the bridges won't bother going to town due to traffic they will support suburb shopping the city will become less inviting .

HAVE YOUR SAY - University of Tasmania Inner City Campus Redevelopment:
The redevelopment of Inveresk Precinct is a historic opportunity for new community uses and new experiences in the area.
A community engagement program has been launched to hear from community members about how they would like to use the Inveresk Precinct as it develops.
The City of Launceston and the University of Tasmania are working together to seek the community’s input into how the Inveresk Precinct can become a well-used and integrated part of Launceston.
The engagement aims to tap into the community’s imagination about possible uses for new public spaces, explore how the Inveresk Precinct can become a well-used and integrated part of the city, and test proposed access improvements.
The information below sets out the various ways to have your say. We encourage you to contribute, share to your networks and post to your social media page.
We look forward to hearing your thoughts.
