Read the foreshore report

 

I have been bemused by the myriad of people expressing their "expert" opinion and selectively quoting from reports, items that go towards their own agendas.

If they have read all the reports and I doubt it, the report prepared for Council by Patterson Britton & Partners 2000 Ettalong Beach Foreshore Management Study, clearly sets out that the only way to protect the foreshore, the road and the footpath is to build a sea wall about where the retention fence was situated and maintain the sand in front thereof.

If the suggestions of all the good people are followed, the sea and nature will eventually give to the commercial centre a complete water frontage.

There will be no dune.

Perhaps your paper could read the report and provide the public with an unbiased view.
