Illustrated Ideas for Riverview hospital

Well after a long wait the third round of  ideas and concepts, generated at the RenewingRiverview event has been placed online, for the public to comment on, apparently until mid-January.

Think  Art Therapy for the public.

 Have a look at the pages, and click away. ( Warning, very slow to load )

  Illustrated Ideas – Your turn to rate the features!
       
       There are 47 images to rate. These images came about from ideas put forward
by the participants in the break-out groups.

      There was actually other boards with artworks created prior, and during the event, that were also rated by the public as a whole at the event; they appear to NOT be shared online with the public.
Would have been nice to see those also shared with the public.

One observation is that nearly everything presented as an idea at the event was not new to the site in any way; most of the concepts had been fully integrated into the programs that were presented in the past at Riverview.  The only "new" concept was the idea of creating homes, on the site for the public; something which has always been greatly discouraged.  It is public land, not freehold.
