City centre of discontent

GEELONG Council is set to construct a $91 million headquarters in the heart of the city.

Still having trouble with aged care and public transport, that’s where the money should be spent. Rayzer Tooly

Why not spend that money on improving public housing or roads or hospitals or schools? I’m sure the council building is good enough. Chris Augerinos

That’s sad. So much history for me. Hilary Elizabeth Edwick

You do realise it’s not the council that builds hospitals or schools, don’t you? The State Government does that sort of stuff. Ben Minutoli

And these clowns — as well as their local, state and federal superiors — wonder why the class divide, as well as lack of respect, is growing so much. Just another bunch of greedy pigs with their snouts in a trough. Nick Wickham

Isn’t this on the site the council just developed a car park on in the past few years? Maybe a bit of forward thinking would help to not continuously be replacing things and wasting money. I think this is what annoys people the most. Russell Taylor

Surely the money could be spent more wisely. Lorraine Mcfarlane

Our rates will go up again. Raelene Kalisz

Why on earth should it cost so much? Unbelievable. Ali Gliddon

I know how I’d spend the $91 million and it wouldn’t be on our council chambers. It’d be spent on the actual city and surrounds for the people for pay the rates. Amanda Radin

Waste of money. Don’t the ratepayers have a say? Too many other issues that need addressing and our hard-earned rates money. Yvonne Breed

Why don’t they save plenty of money and move into what will soon be the vacant Target headquarters? David Sexton

Great to see your council at work. Grandiosity gone mad. Chuck them out along with their sense of importance. Cheryl Ferguson
