DEMOCRACY AT LAST!!


We have all been waiting for the ‘fat lady to sing’ and looks like it has finally happened. 

The Surf Coast Shire Council met on Wednesday 23/5/12 and in light of the number of objections have resolved NOT to proceed with the Precinct 2 Roads & Drainage Scheme. 
They also say they will not pursue any alternate scheme at this time and any future Scheme will require strong support from the community. I think we can consider this a ‘win’ for the little guys. 
Well done and Thank You to all involved.

We cannot attach the relevant documents because the Surf Coast Shire website does not allow downloads. The Surf Coast Shire website is cumbersome and very user-unfriendly. 
It is a simple matter for council to post Minutes etc in a very accessible way. 
Makes you wonder why they don't.

However they can be viewed on the Surf Coast Shire Website, go to Council Meetings, Agendas and Minutes, May Meeting, Pages 53 – 55:
