Parks fine as they are - no need for "overdevelopment"
No unsightly trees/bushes along beach
More parking wtihin park; markets too close to SLSC
Keep parking in front of SLSC
Keep parking in park for SLSC
Street parking likely to become metered; don’t remove parking in the park
Street car spaces will be used by apartment owners!
As much open space / greenery as possible
Reducing dunes, trees/birds, extra parking sufficient
Why move the toilets to the north?
More visitors in cars will make more congestion
Not enough parking for surf club as it is
Underground carpark favoured
More car parks safer for young children; is market space big enough
Mothers with prams must cross the street after parking, is there enough space for markets
Clear the park to reduce undesireables

why move playgrounds?
4m path from Hedges ave to SLSC
Separate bike track from walkers, not enough play areas, markets too spread, poor beach access
Less car spaces will hurt SLSC
Can't decide on car space issue
Remove graveyard plaques
No more high-rises
Removing car spaces hurts SLSC – underground
Underground parking to not devalue highrises

Maintain carparks in front of club
More parking for patrons of SLSC
Beach viewing very restricted
Parking within park looks better than parking on street

Do not let trees grow high enough to block out views
I disagree totally with the plan
Leave playground in northern part of park
More views to beach from park
No sand - needle risk (rubber flooring

Retain existing beach access
Parking in park is a must, dual use pathways are dangerous
Never reduce parking

Do not take away existing parking
Do not move playgrounds
More car parks - replace pond if necessary; do not alter access points
Beach access points not changed

Disagree with less car parks in front of SLSC
Increasing membership at SLSC = more car parks
Patrolling members of SLSC need more car parks
Increase car parking in park to reduce road congestion
Establish a line of protective dunes
No more markets - damage to grass
More parking in park (less walking)
