It doesn't have to be a referendum, but if CliffCare are representing the community in talks with PV etc. then I think the community should be consulted overall. Chockstone is a small subset of the climbing community, and, at least with most climbers I have interacted with in the Grampians, does not have a reputation as a place where civil and constructive debate can be conducted. You can review the Facebook posts of the CliffCare post and the commentary there which also supports this point.
