I/We support the proposed changes
What is your feedback on the proposed changes
Hi,
I am from gelato junkie and operate our mobile trading vehicle at St Clair. We appreciate our needs and that of other mobile traders have been considered in the proposed changes with the two variable zones. The sales we make at St Clair are very important to our business and it is so much fun to be enjoying great Dunedin sunny days with everyone at the beach.
The traders offer high quality affordable refreshments to a wide range of customers but also many from the lower socio-economic groups of our community that may not easily/regularly afford the 'bricks and mortar' offerings. I am concerned that the two available spaces will not be enough for the number of vendors currently using this area or potentially trade here in the future!
Can you please consider creating 2 additional mobile trading spaces on the brick paving area also? Between the Esplanade and Seconds Beach Road. The model would be the same as how mobile traders conduct business in 'The Exchange.'
1. Plate Steel would cover the curb/gutter for entry and exit of vehicles just like what exists currently for many Dunedin homes. Traders can drive up, park (with hand brake) and trade.
2. This would be available to use for fully motorised vehicles and not trailers.
3. This will create additional DCC income and more choice customer choice while not reducing the number of car parks available.
I will be happy to speak at the hearings to support the concept in more detail if you need?
Thank you for your consideration and please see a picture of the space unused and available (Brick Area) and also of our operation.
Kind regards
Rob Ottrey
