Comments on: This week in Council – June 17th 2009 http://suebrooks.com.au/2009/this-week-in-council-june-17th-2009/ The Blog of Councillor Sue Brooks, Hervey Bay - Fraser Coast Sun, 14 Mar 2010 00:31:37 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Sadman http://suebrooks.com.au/2009/this-week-in-council-june-17th-2009/comment-page-1/#comment-719 Sadman Thu, 18 Jun 2009 07:45:08 +0000 http://suebrooks.com.au/?p=451#comment-719 Sue, While I have a great deal of sympathy with those living at Burrum Heads. I believe their request for council to do work to prevent foreshore erosion should be rejected. Erosion by the sea is a natural event. Even King Cunute could not stop the waves. If council agrees this would set a precident and council has a lot of foreshore under it's jurisdiction. Rates would have to double or treble if erosion became a council responsibilty. Next council will be asked to foot the costs of floods, hail damage, lightning strikes, birds craping your car etc. Sorry Sue, it's just not on. Sadman Sue,

If council agrees this would set a precident and council has
a lot of foreshore under it’s jurisdiction. Rates would have
to double or treble if erosion became a council responsibilty.

Next council will be asked to foot the costs of floods, hail
damage, lightning strikes, birds craping your car etc.
Sorry Sue, it’s just not on.
