NSW: Luna Park to undergo facelift =2 Sydney
North Shore MP Jillian Skinner said the government's approval of the 389 space carparkwas a "betrayal of local residents".
She said the residents had signed a Plan of Management, which stated the undergroundfacility would cater for only 100 cars.
Ms Skinner accused Dr Refshauge of ignoring the plan, which was released by the governmentin 1998 with strong support from the local community.
"This is typical of the arrogance of the NSW government, which espouses community consultationbut ignores it if it does not fit in with its master plan," she said in a statement.
Ms Skinner said the government had not adequately consulted with the community, despiteDr Refshauge's claims the development plans received wide support.
There had been no advertisements in local papers, no public meetings and no draft planson display, she said.
"I have stated before that everyone expects that Luna Park is an icon which must befully operational again," she said.
"But the minister has missed the opportunity to make Luna Park an icon for public transport.
"It has its own ferry wharf, Milsons Point train station is only a few minutes walkaway and buses run right to the doorstep."
"A 389-space car park will create an unmanageable burden on local roads."
