Tasmanian Residents draw to the attention of the House the Government's intention to place a large building on George Town's historic Regent Square for the Child and Family Centre (CFC), LINC and Service Tasmania shop, and the George Town Council's decision to rezone the land for that purpose.
Your petitioners therefore request the House to:
(1) ensure that Regent Square's heritage and cultural values are recognised.
(2) Support the community's wish to preserve Regent Square as public open space, with no further buildings.
(3) Keep the LINC and Service Tasmania Shop in their present location and place the CFC on a new site.
