Coal
Railway Line and
On Wednesday night, June 30, the
Capricorn Conservation Council is holding a public meeting at the Yeppoon Town
Hall, from 7pm to allow members of the public express their opinion of this
issue. Attached is a newspaper
article, from today, 29 August. newspaper
article from Morning bulletin 29 July 2008.pdf
Bill Ludwig is happy to advise that as foreshadowed
Three Rivers/5 Rocks Beach has been officially re-opened and the status quo
reinstated I.E. no action regarding beach permits will be taken by Council
Local Law Officers until such time as the QPWS Management Plan is adopted or the
Rockhampton Regional Council meets and formally directs otherwise. Also
all fines issued over the Easter week-end will be
quashed.
While this is good news for the
short-term I believe it is imperative that we still proceed with the planned
‘Keep 5 Rocks/Three Rivers Beach Open Rally’ on Sunday 20th April.
The real concern is that ADF and QPWS will be pressing on to
achieve their previously stated preferred position of having the beach access
permanently closed. Suggest everyone take the time to get as many people
and vehicles as possible to attend the rally and suggest we set 11.am as the
time to ensure people have time to get there. The ‘rally’ really
needs to get a good roll-up to ensure we send the strongest possible message
that we as a community are prepared to stand-up for our right and the right of
future generations to freely access these beaches. Would appreciate
if people could get back to me with likely numbers of vehicles and people that
they know are intending to participate. If we have a good idea of
attendance we might be able to arrange a sausage sizzle and possibly a ‘tree
planting/dune revegetation’ working-bee to coincide with the
rally.
Please advise Russell Mason, 0407
020 141 if you are interested and wish to participate.
