But hey, let's move along and 23 00:00:55,600 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 1: talk about the garden's oval lights. Firstly, because I understand better. Well, 24 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 1: the oval is going to be lit up with five 25 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,320 Speaker 1: hundred lucks strong lighting for three evenings a week from 26 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 1: now and well from now on really, after the Darwin 27 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 1: Council approved their ongoing news following a successful trial con 28 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 1: I've got to say, I actually think that this is 29 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 1: a really good idea. I was telling you off air 30 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 1: that my kids play soccer at Bagget on a Friday 31 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 1: night and those lights. If they weren't there, we'd all 32 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 1: be there Sunday up until goodness knows what time, in 33 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 1: the heat of the day. So it is a good 34 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 1: thing I think for Junior's here. 35 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:31,960 Speaker 3: I was doing that one three o'clock in the afternoon 36 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,840 Speaker 3: on Thursdays and Fridays Saturdays with my kids and we're melting. 37 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 3: This is a great idea using our park late at 38 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 3: night when it's cool. And that was the idea with 39 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 3: the garden ovls. And you remember the uproar the end 40 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 3: of life as we know it, It will illuminate inside 41 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 3: my bedroom. Well it didn't. This trial has been running 42 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 3: since April. 43 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 1: Since April, yees, so it's. 44 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 2: April May June.

Conn. The other thing I was very keen to 69 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: ask you about is whether a decision had been made 70 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,399 Speaker 1: as she is around the Alfresco dining phase. Of course 71 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: you revealed on the show last Monday. I think it 72 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 1: was that you were making moves to well halt the 73 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 1: reintroduction of those Elfresco dining phase. Where is that ass 74 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 1: And as I. 75 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,519 Speaker 3: Said to you before, that will actually happen when we 76 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 3: adop the budget, which happening in the next meeting, which 77 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:24,800 Speaker 3: is the twenty ninth of June. 78 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:26,799 Speaker 1: Twenty ninth of June. So I still got a little while. 79 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: Why now the Lamarue Barths. This is on my list 80 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,080 Speaker 1: what's going on at the Lamarux Barths at the moment. 81 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 3: Look, it has generated a lot of interest in the 82 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 3: state and luckily next week I'm flying to Camebra for 83 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 3: Australia Local Government Association conference and on the way back 84 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 3: I'll stop over in Sydney talking to investors. We approached 85 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 3: them already and they. 86 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 2: Saw a lot of indursts. 87 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 3: So we're going to actually go there and present the 88 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 3: whole thing where it is what we've got in mind, 89 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 3: a concept plan and invite them to invest. They got 90 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 3: faith on us because same invested in the waterfront and 91 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 3: we give an alternative people said, I mean it's going 92 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 3: to be like the waterfront. 93 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 2: No, it's not. 94 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 3: This completely different because the waterfront is restricted by the 95 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 3: old port. This one's going to be the whole breadth 96 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 3: of the esplanant underneath, starting from the waterfront and finishing 97 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 3: at the fish feeding ground. So it's going to be 98 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 3: a big suit of land overlooking the ocean. 99 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 2: Different with the waterfront. 100 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:25,719 Speaker 1: If we're able to do it, I think it would 101 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: be phenomenal to say. 102 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 2: Katie, we have to do it. 103 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 3: If we don't develop, Dowin Down will become a sleepy 104 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 3: little town and nursing home. 105 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 1: We have minds on somebody putting in some cash here, 106 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:39,720 Speaker 1: because I mean, at the end of the day, the 107 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 1: council can't afford to do it alone. 108 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 2: Of course not. 109 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 3: It's going to be a pipp like between council, government 110 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:47,480 Speaker 3: and private development. 111 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,039 Speaker 2: The waterfront is a very good example. Look at the 112 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 2: convention center. 113 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,279 Speaker 3: It was built, it was given some about to operate 114 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 3: for twenty five years, and that person has to return 115 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 3: it back to government. There are ways to do it, 116 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,280 Speaker 3: and there are ways without being a lot of money 117 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 3: from the public purse, but using the private sector to invest. 118 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 3: Private sector told us they're willing to invest money. There 119 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 3: are money around very low indous rates. They want to invest. 120 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 2: They want to make profits for themselves and their stairholders. 121 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: So con flying away next week to discuss this further. 122 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,480 Speaker 1: I mean, how far off do you think we are 123 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,479 Speaker 1: from actually seeing some work at underway? There are we 124 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,280 Speaker 1: still quite a wiy Yes we are. 125 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:24,719 Speaker 2: It's not going to happen tomorrow. 126 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 3: But if you don't do the preliminary work now and 127 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 3: do it properly, and it's not gond finish. So we 128 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 3: hear a lot about the surfing park and everything else, 129 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,160 Speaker 3: nothing eventuated. 130 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 2: It takes time. 131 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 3: The water front took at least a year and a 132 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 3: half before we start talking about it. The time we 133 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,279 Speaker 3: start working on it, I expect the same thing here, 134 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,159 Speaker 3: but we have to start somewhere. 135 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 1: Corn.
