Grant District Council invited residents to a planning session to discuss future development for river and coastal communities.
Cape Douglas was well-represented and everyone there presented a united front: we don't want things to change, we like it as it is - off-the -beaten track and practically unknown. The planning team wanted us to say we hate the shacks but we don't. They were there first and as the site is below sea level and suffered badly in the big storms, we all think leave them alone. They have lifetime title only.
We'd like a better safer road up to Point Douglas: it's beautiful up there and we're happy to share it but no "facilities " thanks.

Think it will work?
ReplyDeletePlanners will put up an exciting design which will be shelved due to lack of funding.
