I wonder if those Councillors and Council staff who think it is a good idea to put more houses on the coastal floodplain around Mullumbimby, despite last year’s flood, have been watching what has happened on the coastal floodplain around Cairns in the last couple of weeks? These events are not as rare as they used to be, or as some people would like them to be.
Support The Echo
Keeping the community together and the community voice loud and clear is what The Echo is about. More than ever we need your help to keep this voice alive and thriving in the community.
Like all businesses we are struggling to keep food on the table of all our local and hard working journalists, artists, sales, delivery and drudges who keep the news coming out to you both in the newspaper and online. If you can spare a few dollars a week – or maybe more – we would appreciate all the support you are able to give to keep the voice of independent, local journalism alive.
A shocking decision one that could play out at the next election.
