Thank you for the opportunity to listen to the sustainable population debate and hear from a wider audience. While there may have been few ideas that most community groups are not already up to speed with, it was interesting, however, to hear things the community has long gone on about, such as Redlands becoming a "sea of roofs" and "growing houses on good farm land" now seem to have become adopted into mainstream planning language. On the other hand, it seems there is a wide gap between community ideas as reflected in a new Council and the development industry. Opportunity here for the Redlands Institute to continue the education of those finding it difficult to come to terms with a sustainable tomorrow.
