Vision does not include climate change

 

On Tuesday, November 13, the earth-mover and other vehicles arrived on Ettalong Beach to begin their work.

It is amazing just how fast Gosford Council can act when it wants to.

Let us hope though that, when climate change becomes even more obvious, the sea levels rise and the storm surges become more frequent and our rates go up in order to pay the increasing costs of transporting the correct type of sand to replenish the artificial beach, the public will remember just who it was who promoted this idea: those people from the local community, from the council and from the State Government who thought they had a vision.

Their vision did not include Climate Change.

Surely that money could have been better spent on solar panels and water tanks and even better coastal management.
