Developers found it easy to do what they like once I left
North Apollo bay had a strategy plan but it was ditched when Swan Bay developments came along. The problem I and the consultants had was that the developer refused to comply with sound conservation practice in coastal management (one of my specialities ) on the basis that the government had created 2 agencies with the same apparent authority - "which one was he to believe ?", The same thing happened with Great Ocean Green . Nobody was acting as a responsible authority for sound earth planning, except perhaps in name only. What's been done to fix the problem -( Infact there are now 3agencies )- absolutely nothing and no mention is made of the immediate need to plan the apollo bay foreshore is mentioned in the current long lists of strategy plans being funded.

The three agencies are DSE, CCMA and the Western Coastal board . Politicians created th last 2 which are not needed and allow duckshoving . The Libs need to stop creating bigger bodies to supervise big bodies and listen to their own history / best rhetoric . Small is beautiful and more accountable. Make DSE and Shires accountable . Make locals accountable and give them back the responsibilities they should have - responsibilities that are so easily lost upstairs . Makes parties feel more powerful, but weakens the power of the people .
