THE DECISION WE FACE IS SIMPLE
Spend $30,000,000 of rate payer money on Chamberlain Park for two sports fields,and destroy more than 1000 mostly mature trees and fill in a lava flow terrain, to achieve this.
Or: VOTE City Vision OUT.
It’s your choice. Remember, our alternative plan incorporates the bike track, a playground and a clubhouse community facility.
