Among the issues raised have been local concerns about
lighting and noise especially about the oval. The oval will predominantly be
used for training, so crowds won’t be drawn there and the lights will tend to be
used in winter to allow training into the evening. The ILC expect that training
will often finish at 8:00 rather than 10:00, and while the ILC hopes to be able
to use the oval any day of the week, they don’t foresee groups wanting to use it
every night. The ILC is certainly aware of these
concerns.
The ILC is also hearing from public housing tenants
about the problems they perceive about drinking and unruly behavior in the area
currently. This is obviously a real problem for the locals, but one that is
beyond the capability of any one organisation or development to
solve.
The other issue of interest to people is the local use
and access. The ILC is continuing to think about the services and facilities and
opportunities for local use. This will be an ongoing
conversation.
