“I believe that by working with the city we can develop a good plan that will get the balance right.”
Mayor Penny Taylor said she invited Ms Saffioti for a tour to highlight the elements of the city most valued by the community, as noted during the LPS5 and LPS public consultation period.
“I invited the Minister here so that she could see the diversity of our community and our beautiful streets,” she said.
“We know that residents value the feel of their streets, the protection of heritage areas and buildings, and good design and development.
“The community does not support ‘blanket’ density increases and they want to see consideration of services and infrastructure to support population growth.”
