It was a community consultation exercise. They're not binding demands.
But I do think there's a valid question why every previously HRM owned site begins as a community development exercise or with the presumption that developers need to pay in a special way for these sites. Instead I think it is better to start by asking what a neighbourhood needs.
How many millions would HRM have collected from this site had it been quietly developed as a market rate project many years ago? And what's the #1 thing people living around here would actually want that is missing as a public or private amenity? Not just stuff that seems like an okay way to use this particular parcel?
