    The Development relies on too much use of public amenities and infrastructure to benefit a private business at the detriment of our visitor markets...This Gorge Road area is already under traffic pressure from the West Tamar Council's over-development of the upper regions above Trevallyn.

    The Cataract Gorge visitation is growing, with 226,899 Interstate/Overseas visitors in year to June 2014. This does NOT include Tasmanian visitors. This bottle neck does not need more vehicles and less ambiance.

    The TIA report attached (sect. 4.3.3 Parking Impacts) quotes "the development relies on available public parking". The report says the developers can get away with this by -
    1. sending buses up through Trevallyn shopping precinct and around the Trevallyn Primary School (are they kidding?) for the convenience of the developer's customers.
    2.The report actually recommends to keep secret the fact that the Penny Royal car park is owned by the ratepayers, so that tourists to the Gorge wont be able to find it!
    3. Make Bridge St/ Paterson st public parking even less available, for the benefit of the developer.

    This cost transferring on to the rate- payers and tourists is unethical and border-line scam.

    Additionally, the link footpath from the Bridge to Trevallyn Village, completed during Mayor Dickenson's period, has become a major commuter and tourist pedestrian asset. This significant walkway now needs a second stage design/rebuild to alleviate the risks of increased traffic and improve the visitor experience.
