Cockburn Response

The Cockburn Association supports this application.

 

The Association has long advocated the development of a larger-scale indoor arena on the outskirts of the city to compliment the range of indoor and outdoor venues currently available across the city.

 

This proposal is well placed to take advantage of sustainable transport modes and we commend the developer’s commitment to reducing both embodied carbon during construction and operational carbon post construction.

 

Overall, if approved, this development should support, diversify and grow the city’s entertainment and conference economy while taking pressure of the city’s public openspace and greenspace sites which are currently used in a less tan sustainable manner as temporary venues.
