Nothing doing on this community park. No friends, no kids, no dogs. Deputy Lord Mayor - Dr Zelinda Sherlock Bill Harvey Cr City of Hobart Cassy O'Connor MLC, Tasmanian Greens Member for Hobart South Hobart residents expected you to represent the community. But our phone calls, emails, requests for meetings were used to create a narrative that we were too needy. Too needy of community space where people could come together for free and create a multi generational social experience that supported psycho social and physical well being. But no. The Tasmanian Greens candidate- looking at you Bill, didn’t even bother to have the conversation. I think we will find someone else to vote for.

What’s that Chip? The council is in chaos? What makes you say that Chip?

Could it be the civil confusion on the oval this morning as heaps of people turned up believing that as there has been no dog park provided that the South Hobart Oval is still a viable location to use, was of the councils own making?

Could it be that at Monday’s council meeting it was generally suggested that the engagement undertaken by some officers was poor at best and counterproductive otherwise.

I think Marti Zucco City of Hobart put it pretty well when he said “you’ve got to take the community with you.”

Problem is, South Hobart residents are not buying what the planning section of the City of Hobart are selling. Not for years now. (Actually the new sandstone wall does look good, so big props there.)

That might be why for many years the council has been constantly contacted in an attempt for these concerns to be heard. But that got too hard so now we have a dog ban on a place that has been used daily and nightly by 100’s residents wanting and needing a site to recreate.

But ironically you can apply for a Community Grant to bring people together! Could we use it on legal fees?

And it seems unlikely that a council body which on their website proports to exist to administrate for ratepayers, has instead written a report to preference à for profit (until recently when the relationship was dissolved under the heat of the spotlights) football club.

Councillor Ryan Posselt, Hobart is convinced there will now be families picnicking galore on the ground. Let’s see. You can run around Battery Point with him to discuss.

Wacko! She’s on!

The community came together to enjoy the place, the space, the friends.
