Extreme weather, floods, draught, destroying storms, wildfire, extreme

temperatures all over the world are almost everyday occurrences these days.

I believe in new ways of thinking and the Byron ECO Park (BEP) can lead the way.

Some of us can’t vote in the upcoming council elections, but make BEP a key election issue.

In the past, not much happened because of the dysfunction between the shire’s general manager and elected councillors.

Now there are people in the shire putting money and support behind candidates to overcome this deadlock.

We should note which candidates are willing to work together with a clear statement/plan on their commitment to BEP projects for the benefit to the whole shire.
