3. Minutes of Previous Meeting 14 February 2018
Passed Janet, Margaret seconds. All in favour.
Malcolm introduces and welcomes Maddie Dobbin. Maddie provides an overview of the township plan process, explains community consultation. Considerable support for car parking and traffic, and heritage (biggest issues). Maddie will bring hard copies next time. Jean has distributed the electronic version. Traffic and car parking consultant MR Cagney presented a workshop with a commercial focus. Next step recommendations based on workshop. Next financial year, need traffic engineer to do more detailed investigations. Adelaide Hills Tourism did survey on Main Street to see how many visitors used Visitors Centre. No plan to move it. Other actions include Pine Ave footpaths, Beerenberg pedestrian crossing, Alec Johnson new play space, street scaping, parking & lighting, work around Academy (drainage issues). Will there be a walking trail to Cedars? Yes, in township plan. Bowling Club wants to sell land and retain funds from sale. Over 1000 carparks exist in Hahndorf behind retail premises; (115 on Main Street). Malcolm says we need to discuss with traders how to better utilize existing carparks. Signage? Financial incentives might help.
How do we set up a Council Advisory Panel? Do we keep it within the HCA or set up separately as we did with Nixon’s Mill? Tony says better if everyone is on an equal footing. John (Post Office) is organizing another town meeting. Maddie agrees meeting every 12 weeks would be appropriate. Maddie will send Jean a list of key stakeholders. Jean will email stakeholders and organize a meeting to discuss best way to organize panel. Will also email all HCA members. Action Jean Harold discussed survey he did on number of heavy vehicles on the Main Street. Doesn’t think bypass will work. Phil disagrees.
