Plan divides Highton

HIGHTON Village’s council-owned carpark would be converted into a three-storey development including new housing, shops and offices under an overhaul of the area.

Where’s the consultation with people who live in Highton? No thanks. Julie Phillips

Two options have been put forward by council after community consultation. The second option was a result of this. If you support one option over the other, let council know. That’s the idea of this process. Mat Hines

Room for a local pub? About time. Ryan Coy

Where will we park then? Hard enough at the moment to find a space. Pauline Kaye

Where the heck supposed to park? Lauren Parmenter

It’s the people’s land, not the council’s. The people have spoken and they don’t want this wholesale change. All the council can see is dollars and to hell with what people want. Philip Le Plastrier is everyone

No it belongs to the council. You and I have zero ownership claim. The village is bland and boring, and needs an update. Chris Tsorotes

Best of luck, Highton residents reject everything involving change John Virgona

First thing they should look at is the confusing roundabout/give way or whatever they want to call it that the clock is on. It’s a recipe for road rage and confusion, and it holds up traffic while drivers try to figure out what to do. Adam Van der Lugt

Has some merit as long as the carpark is upgraded and not just built on. Brian Wrigley

Not required in this location. Will irreversibly change the landscape and fabric of Highton Village. Greg Welsh

Three pedestrian crossings in one small strip. Are you serious? Tahnia Slorach

Heaven forbid that an ageing population may be encouraged to walk. What a negative bunch and in 10 years there will be no progress. Bernadette Pitcher
