Wild Endangered Dunes Group Northern Corridor of Tennyson Dunes System
WHY ARE COASTAL GROUPS AT WAR WITH CCS? The coastal dune environment will be sacrificed in favour of an obsessive, compulsive CCS mission to complete a 3.5m concrete road. Your obsession with a one-size-fits-all concrete road is the stumbling block to community cooperation. There is absolutely no quantitative evidence that ratepayers want an North-South road along the coastal dunes.
WHY COASTAL GROUPS ARE AT WAR WITH CCS Allegations that coastal residents want to stop people from using the beaches is insulting and laughable. When council stopped listening, and started bullying, we had no choice but to fight back using the only avenue left to us, in the courts. And even when we win, we have to pay dearly for your mistakes.
WHAT DO WEDGE FAMILIES WANT? Respect for our unique environment. A seat at the table to protect the dunes. WEDGE families prepared to compromise on path design 3 years ago. There is consensus for a narrow, low impact natural path currently being installed in some sections. (Conditional support by Stephen Mullighan)
A low impact, narrow path option is agreeable to all stakeholders
Listen to the Engineers not Bureaucrats When West Lakes established in 1970’s, Council Engineers strongly argued against the 40m Set- Back for homes. The CPB names this dune section between Third Ave & Mirani Court as the most endangered and under threat from tidal & storm damage. A 7m clearance and a 3.5m concrete road is environmental vandalism to a real coast park with just 7m of grass beyond the native Tea Tree anchoring the dunes.
PEACE IN OUR TIME Draft PCP is ill conceived. Limiting consultation builds more enmity with ratepayers. A totalitarian PCP will only amp up the present war footing. WEDGE will cooperate fully with CCS if it keeps current IAP2 Public Participation Process.
A way forward working together
PEACE IN OUR TIME INFORM, CONSULT. INVOLVE. COLLABORATE. EMPOWER
