Mayfield College bid: The decision, and why

HOW the councillors voted on the Mayfield Heritage Precinct Development Plan and what they said.

Mayor Stevan Kozmevski – Against. This site is not appropriate for schools to be built on as it is far too small.

Cr John Fry – For. In my mind the best way to protect a school is to have another school there.

Cr Sam Alessi – For. Traffic management staff have put forward a valid and workable report.

Cr Frank Merlino – Against. You buy a heritage site at your own risk. This [ group ] lacks a bit of experience.

Cr Norm Kelly – Against. We are not disrespecting traffic engineers  … but this report is very conflicting.

Cr Pam McLeod – Against. The traffic issues are definitely the main reason.

Cr Mary Lalios – Against. I visited the site myself and felt the traffic concerns were valid.

Cr Kris Pavlidis – For. None of the objections that came through were substantiated by our officers.
