I would like a rotunda built to replace the one damaged in the vehicle accident. It is a very popular part of the Library lawn area and is a great advantage for the community and visitors.

The Library Lawns are considerably more versatile and accessible without the presence of the Rotunda.
The Rotunda did not work effectively acoustically, and did not contribute positively to the aesthetic of the area. I appreciate there may be some sentimental attachment to it amongst some members of the local community, however it was not architecturally significant nor useful as an actual 'rotunda' (as in a public performance area).
The services that it contained were the most useful assets (access to power etc for events), and these can easily be relocated elsewhere to provide for improved community use throughout the open space.
I would strongly support AHC not re-invest in a similar structure in that location.

Hello,
another rotunda/stage would be great, my family had been using the last one for shade for years and have found memories that we would like to share with the grandchildren.

Kind regards,

Please replace the Rotunda as it was. It was sited harmoniously within the surrounding lawns and trees without overpowering the space and was very well used by locals and visitors.

Replace the rotunda as it was. It was well used.

I would like to see the rotunda replaced as it was. It was well used.

Another rotunda. Failing that, grass would be good

The demolished rotunda should be replaced with another of similar size & design but incorporating the latest technology i.e. power, lighting, p.a. system etc. We believe that anything other than a rotunda e.g. an amphitheatre, would be inappropriate as it would further reduce the lawn area & be detrimental to the aesthetics of our beautiful library. Suggestions for roofed structures are inappropriate because they would block the view of the library & destroy the feeling of openness of the lawn area as well as impacting on the open line of sight across the space. We do not need further structures on this piece of lovely green open space. Please re-build the rotunda!!

I would like to see it replaced with a similar-sized rotunda, styled in keeping with the surroundings but not necessarily a copy. As well as a meeting place for the general public it could be used for presentation of small group events, such as music performances, plays, readings or even ceremonies. For this purpose some sort of removable backdrop on the road side would aid the acoustics for listeners on the lawn in front.

This opens up a great opportunity for a perfect outdoor performance space, as there is currently nowhere in Stirling or locally designed specifically for this purpose.
I can picture a more open sided, single level floor space of dimensions large enough to accommodate a large choir/cast/band. When not being used officially for performance you bet kids will do cartwheels across it.
Not only is Stirling already a destination of choice for people coming up from the city for the markets and cafes, but it is increasingly involved in festival events. Having a high quality performance space would be great and shouldn't 'take away' from much green space.

I loved the traditional rotunda and would like to see a replica in about the same location with shade, seating, steps and with lots of wrought iron, maybe from local metal artists and maybe with a quirky modern twist on the antique, although I think it should have a similar historical theme and include a plaque with photo and history of the original. It would serve small gatherings and be a stage for small bands, orchestral groups and choirs. I definitely don't want to see a larger modern amphitheater or other permanent stage area that restricts the use of the lawns for gatherings and picnics and which might be a focus for skateboarders and graffiti.

A 50m telco tower seems appropriate. As the Council doesn't care where they go.

It would be such a jewel in the adelaide Hills crown to have a WADING POOL (similar to the one in Tismore Park) .. bringing the beach to the hills and having yet another activity for families of the hills.

Hi,
I would like to see a rotunda of similar size and location to replace exactly the one we lost.
It was well used by community members and especially at events like the Fringe. Whereas an amphitheater limits the size of the audience.
Thx

Replace rotunda with small playground.

I would like to see another rotunda, preferably of a graceful and elegant design, not something modern. We already have a piece of modern sculpture outside the library, and I find it ugly, as do many people I've discussed it with. So I'm dubious about a modern design for a rotunda. The idea of bollards strikes me as unnecessary. I know a car hit the old rotunda, and I'm just glad there were no people in the car's path when it happened. If any bollards are considered, perhaps they should ensure cars can't plough into people on the lawns, rather than just protecting the rotunda.
