We arrived too late to make an impact on these plans which see an over abundance of concrete & no character. Napier Plaza, whilst a great idea has been let down by the overuse of exposed aggregate, poor selection of $30K seat, no shade & strange looking disks that seem to do nothing. Great murals.
So much concrete all the way to the water to tie in with Napier Plaza, apparently this is what the people of Rye wanted. We were too late to make a difference.
These plans are highly contentious, removing car lanes & providing wide bike lanes – no unlike what they have done in Melbourne. Trouble is this is the arterial for the rest of the Peninsula, worsening a bottleneck & providing insurmountable issues for our emergency services on the path to the hospital etc.

Thanks to the hard work of Chris Brayne, Rye has a budget of $1M for improvements to the skate park.
Surprising choice for council to spend millions of dollars on a low foot traffic area that had fully accessible road reserve & not even a goat track. There were complaints by residents regarding the job & the destruction of the character of the area. We were too late to influence long standing decision.
