'The beach is coming closer': How coastal communities are dealing with the reality of sea level rise
(The tone of this article is passive - as if sea level rise & the climate damage that is driving it are beyond our control. Why @abcnews? #auspol) abc.net.au/news/2020-07-26/c…

Amazing how many projects claim environmental credentials but then promote commercialization and development. The conflict of interest is staggering!@surfcoastnotes

Minister, your own dept @DELWP_Vic has withheld community consultations that proved there was no support for the Anglesea Futures Land Use Plan and you haven’t called them out. You can’t have it both ways @SaveAnglesea @surfcoastnotes @MarianSmedley @LisanevilleMP @rwynnemp

Watch as Hazelwood Power Station's chimneys come down
(It’s sad & unsatisfactory that @alcoa has failed to demolish the redundant, toxic & much hated #Anglesea coal plant smoke stack 🏭 #springst @edenproject @rwynnemp @surfcoastnotes) abc.net.au/news/2020-05-25/h…

Let's stop pretending this form of #growth can be managed in a sort of win-win for vested interests, ecosystems & societies.
"Growth" as currently defined, is about short term greed, nothing more. People/ecosystems are dispensable in the bigger game.
Time we all realised this!
“There's no denying our state is growing but that doesn't mean we should let developers ruin our small towns." said @rwynnemp

So much truth in this piece! Our natural environments and coastal communities are suffering under these impacts – at Aireys Inlet - Fairhaven, Victoria
“Travelling the Great Ocean Road on a motorcycle is sublime but 100 years after work on it began in the wake of war it's being overwhelmed by a wave of tourism”

A picture tells a thousand words. As someone noted at a recent community meeting, “we already live in Eden, why do we need another one?”

NIMBY definition:
"To want what's best for your #family, #community & #country. Once considered admirable traits, now rebranded (by the development lobby) as being somehow selfish".
Have I got this about right?

It’s important that you get across this issue @edenproject. Any attempt to use Messmate Track &/or Harvey Street & the associated local road network to access the @Alcoa site or as as de facto bypass for the Great Ocean Road will meet implacable opposition xitter.cf/reclaimanglesea/status…
.@surfcoastnotes After previous assurances provided to our community in relation to the four wheel drive Messmate Track it is staggering that there is currently signage installed suggesting that it is a “route” for traffic! An explanation is required @SenSHenderson @LibbyCokerMP

.@surfcoastnotes Long suffering Surf Coast ratepayers would appreciate it if you unequivocally ruled out (under any circumstances) spending their money on something they have made it very plain they don’t want 🏨🏗 @SenSHenderson @LibbyCokerMP @r_riordanmp xitter.cf/reclaimanglesea/status… – at Melbourne, Victoria
.@surfcoastnotes It has been suggested that ratepayers may be asked to contribute towards works on the former @Alcoa site at #Anglesea. For the avoidance of doubt that would be completely unacceptable. Rehabilitation is an OBLIGATION and the community has made it very plain 1/2
Save Anglesea retweeted
that it DOES NOT WANT commercial or residential construction beyond the existing town boundary. If a case is ultimately made for development beyond the town boundary (which remains to be seen) then all works ought to be fully funded by the development proponents #springst 2/2 – at Melbourne, Victoria

Was this the inspiration for the Anglesea Futures Land Use Plan? Seems exactly like what happened.

Maybe You could have another look at the Anglesea Futures Land Use consultation, as the community had very different views on that as well.

Yes, it’s high time that the full results of the second DELWP survey were released in full. For better or for worse those results are the best evidence of what the #Anglesea community actually wants for its future. Concealing the actual feedback from the community is very poor

Also near Full Employment?
Like many, getting tired of being told how `excited' I am when what is reqd is:
1 State Govt to hold Alcoa accountable for site remediation
2 Publish Community Wishes ( 2nd DELWP Survey)
3. Consider ANY proposal with objective Criteria AND Conditions
Save Anglesea retweeted
The only INDEPENDENT representation of the Anglesea community's desires is contained in the 2nd DELWP Survey
This information has been SUPPRESSED! FOI?🤔
Legitimacy of this process RELIES on this data
Claims by individual interests are DISINGENUOUS at best& MISLEADING at worst!

I received a copy of the letter Peter. There was no transparency about who had actually signed the document and I was shocked to see community groups named in a way that suggested that they supported the document. This clumsy exercise has angered many in the #Anglesea community.
Save Anglesea retweeted
This thread broadly reflects SCAA’s position also. The letter has been provided to us as well and it wrongly purports to speak for the #Anglesea community, without any authority to do so and through the prism of rose tinted glasses.
