Surf Coast Shire Elections

Sat Nov 29, 2008 10:04 pm (PST)Members of this Group, and both users and supporters should be pleased with the news that Surf coast Shire elections have been held, and the very inteeligent, thoughtful voter of that Local Government Area have NOT re-elected Cr Ron Humphrey.
Thus, following this election, of the original five who attempted to have the legal staus of Pt Impossible withdrawn in July 2006, only two remain of Council.
Of the other seven, including a few new faces, those who know say that six are regarded as “progressives” and one as “unknown”.
This means, I think, that our beaches in Surf Coast are now SAFE for the foreseeable future, but we should never forget that we very nearly lost them, at least in part because we weren’t paying enough attention, and were not doing our best to ensure that beach-goers were there for legitimate purposes.
So, this summer – let’s go to the beaches and enjoy them, but make sure that we do take personal responsibility to stop or report the stuff that we know does not belong on the beach.
I think everyone will agree this is good news for the beaches. However, now is not the time to be complacent – behave yourselves on the beaches, be aware of activity around you, and REPORT anything inappropriate (particularly in the carpark and dunes areas) to the police!!
