We received an email, plus attachment, from a local resident – Ms. Lisa DiMarco. We feel that the ideas expressed in the attached need to be carefully considered and discussed, especially in light of the upcoming C60 and the entire planning process of this Council.
Just another reminder to readers, that we welcome all contributions, information, correspondence from and with council, that is relevant to the issues which confront residents and which impacts on lifestyle, liveability, and ensuring that the community’s voice is heard.
Lisa’s email reads:
“Hi there
I think the attached article on public spaces in European cities is very interesting. You might like to post it on the Glen Eira Debates website. The lack of public open space in the proposed C60 development is such a shame. We need to start thinking differently about planning. We need car free squares, piazzas, malls where people can congregate and relax.”

The Caulfield village website produced by the MRC contains artist or architect drawings of the various precincts. They are sterile, uninviting, spaces. Nothing like the vision that is attached to this post. If we get anything like the MRC drawings then god help caulfield.
