Cable Car

Our new Councillor Brian Inder is keen to see a cable car on Mount Roland. He feels it could be a big money earner for the municipality.

What do you think?

Positives? Negatives?

I am keen to talk more about it. Lots more information before I will form an opinion.

    I think this is the most visionary idea for the future of Kentish since MuralFest.

    We need to encourage new visitors, and make those who now come stay longer: more demand for food, accommodation, etc. A destination for cruise ship buses.

    Marble shops, emporiums, etc, can be duplicated elsewhere; their owners may even move on. Mount Roland is there for all time, and is pretty unique. Most visitors would love to see the view from the top if they had the time and fitness.

    A cable car would hardly be seen from the town, and would still leave 99% of the mountain to the energetic few.

    How can council throw their weight behind this, without committing large sums of ratepayers’ money?

    I am interested in knowing more about the proposal. At this point there are no absolute details to consider.

    We have been approached by no developer at this time.
