BangtheTable about Housing Strategy

Hornsby Shire offers a community discussion forum at http://bangthetable.com/. It is worth joining to learn what is being said! The discussion about the first draft Hornsby's Housing Strategy was closed in July 2009 after collecting 60,433 views, 20 discussion groups, and 1,152 comments.
If you go into the original discussion area you can find where Beecroft was suggested by just one person, five people agreed and one disagreed. On such small threads hangs the devastation of a community? Trouble was, of course, that the Beecroft and Cheltenham communities had no idea this little chat had taken place, and therefore did not get a chance to contribute to the debate back in middle of 2009.
The communities affected by the original plan had their chance to give their views. The Shire should now open a discussion group restricted to the changes to the plan, to give communities who were not involved in the earlier plan but are now, like Beecroft and Cheltenham, a chance to have their say. I suspect there will be more responses on the topic this time.
