The wall supporting the western end of Deacon Street has failed – opposite the Roman Catholic Church. Fortunately, this type of wall usually collapses slowly.
Byron Shire Council have discounted my concern (I am a retired L.G. engineer) ignoring the consequences when it completely fails to support the pavement in Deacon Street. This will lead to the complete closure of Deacon Street to traffic – for a long time.
Is there an ‘easement for support’ over the wall? Who benefits? Who is responsible for the restoration after it collapses?
