Thank you Deputy Mayor Elia Hauge, Cr David Warth, and Mandy Nolan for taking the time and making the effort to hear and sight issues arising from the community being fenced and locked out of our parkland along Simpson Creek.
The newly labelled ‘The Pines a Reflections Project’ park was a space freely shared and enjoyed for generations by all, and includes the coastal cypress pines memorial to local WW1 soldiers.
Reflections has privatised this prime waterfront parkland for exclusive use by its paying patrons without any transparency or community consultation required under its Plan of Management!
Thanks again Elia, David, and Mandy for coming to listen, paying attention, and empathising with our concerns.
For four decades The Echo has printed the stories some people loved, some people hated, and some pretended not to read. If you want us to keep telling the truth, the real truth, not the sugar-coated version. We’ll need your support to keep the presses rolling.
