Table 1. Table summarising the comments from STEP 1. Responses have been colour-coded to allow direct
correlation of the groupings with the quantitative results shown the pie chart on page 1. The responses that require
most consideration are shaded in green. Comments from the Other category have not been included in the table..
Two sub-groupings of the comments are relevant. The largest group (shown in green) are classified
as consistent, meaning that all comments address the same underlying issue – parking. Within this
group there is a mixture of both supportive comments and disagreement.
However, despite the fact that some of the responses are negative, they are all presented
constructively and are focused on solutions. It is recommended that these suggestions be
considered moving forward. Satisfying these concerns effectively brings those in general agreement
with the final Master Plan into complete alignment.
The slightly smaller group (shown in yellow are classified as inconsistent because they all address
different issues, each with a very small number of respondents (less than 5% of the total number of
responses for each issue). Even though there are some supportive responses in this group, few
specific suggestions have been made. In view of the small number of respondents in each category,
no further consideration is required by Council.
