New Business:
Relationship between Residents and Businesses:
2 Peter O'Meagher suggested that: The relationship between "happy businesses" and "happy residents" in our Precinct deserves some consideration. There is often a possible but not inevitable contradiction. He stated that hundreds of Manly residents are disturbed and shocked several times every day by the thoughtless, repeated smashing of glass bottles against glass bottles. This repeated antisocial behaviour is not inflicted on Manly residents by a lawless group of louts but by some thoughtless business managers. The majority of these ungracious businesses are located in what is by many measures a truly residential area. Some of our businesses - The Pavilion Restaurant, The Old Manly Boatshed, The Shore Club for example, have chosen to protect the environment and their neighbours by using bottle crushers ... others like The Garfish have remained inconsiderate and aloof.... perhaps the Corso Precinct could combine with Manly Council to encourage this environment/neighbour friendly change in all licensed establishments in Manly.
Peter has heard that legislation may require the use of bottle crushers from February 2012 but he needs to confirm this hearsay.
3. A discussion, was held, by all present re the viability to invite business owners to the Precinct meeting, a motion was called and a majority said, not yet , that lets discuss this further at the next meeting. Hania mentioned that in Jan/Feb 2012 she would canvass some of the businesses in the Corso, to raise advertising revenues for our newsletter, and with a view to smooth out any friction between them, and local residents. And to bring to the next meeting, any feedback, received. Hania pointed out the mutual benefits of settling any real or perceived conflicts of interest between business and residents.
Beth Gallate did point out that she and her husband were both business owners and Residents in the Corso Precinct
