BVC  is  proud  to  present  results  from  the  Balnarring  Community  Survey  of  2013.  The  results  reflect  our  community’s  values,  and  indicate  what  they  would  like  to  see  more  of,  with  particular  reference  to  the  four  vacant  blocks  between  the  hall  and  the  motel.      The  following  graphs  show  results  from  the  “check  boxes”  section  of  the  survey.  Detailed  responses  were  encouraged  in  a  comment  section,  where  a  number  of  broad  points  were  raised:      •    Balnarring  residents  treasure  their  community  and  village.    •    There  is  immense  support  for  a  central  space  to  facilitate  community  engagement  across  all  age  groups.    •    The  Survey  identifies  the  need  for  a  multi-­‐purpose  “Community  House”  structure.  •    There  is  overwhelming  resistance  to  commercial  development  of  the  four  blocks  in  question.    •    Residents  value  the  open  space  and  natural  environment,  and  wish  to  preserve—while  also  developing—both.    •    The  majority  of  residents,  across  all  ages,  hold  deep  environmental  and  sustainable  living  principles.    •    There  is  a  huge  need  for  aged-­‐care  accommodation  within  the  village,  although  residents  do  not  wish  to  see  the  blocks  in  question  used  for  this  purpose.    The  BVC  would  like  to  thank  all  individuals  who  contributed  in  terms  of  developing,  printing,  posting,  distributing,  collecting,  responding  to,  filling  in,  and  collating,  also  manning  our  stand.  This  was  a  huge  undertaking,  and  every  single  person’s  contribution  was  immensely  valued.
