How are we to double overnight visitor expenditure if we 'delete' our beaches?
The proposed rock wall will result in the loss of Belongil beach.

The plan should include include more long term & robust considerations for the whole of shire and therefore needs to be re-drafted.

They accepted that then, now change their minds and want rate payers to pay for their poor decisions. What happened to "buyer beware'?
