HAYLEY HASS QUESTION 1 Why is CCTV listed as an action in the Place Plan (Appendix B) when residents expressed in the consultation that "Pomona already feels safe" and did not support CCTV in parks and around town, as confirmed by council in the plan, prior Placemaking reports, and recent council meetings, especially when many submissions specifically called for no CCTV in Pomona? Response provided by Kim Rawlings Director Strategy and Environment As part of the community engagement process, Council made a commitment to capture all suggested actions from the community throughout the process. Those actions that did not get identified as priority actions in the main sections of the Plan have been captured in Appendix B. This included the action regarding CCTV and when the place plan is reviewed all of these actions can be re-tested with the community. It is not listed as a priority action in the Main section (Part B) of the report. QUESTION 2 How much has the Koala warning variable message sign on Yurol Forest Drive in Pomona cost the council, including the cost of it being out of action for several months? Response provided by Kim Rawlings Director Strategy and Environment The amount is $0 cost to Council, as this VMS is a State Government TMR initiative, on a state managed road. TMR’s VMS approach stems from Council’s established and successful Koalas on the Move campaign, which TMR have been partnering on for a number of years. The TMR signs only operate at peak times, due to the nature of koala activity and solar power constraints.
