'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…
This particular example is in Lilydale. It is the future that the #Anglesea community needs to worry about, but this sort of example does not augur well when our precious native fauna get in the way of “development”
A developer in conjunction with @delwp seeks to make a virtue out of the slaughter of a population of kangaroos 🦘 who have had the misfortune of being hemmed in by “development”. What horrors await the #Anglesea community and our local wildlife @DanielAndrewsMP? 🤔 #SaveAnglesea

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
You're responsible for 9,000 square km of bushfire-prone land. So where do you put the planned burn
(Responsible decision makers would also seek to avoid unnecessary developments in the line of fire @surfcoastnotes and @rwynnemp #springst) abc.net.au/news/2020-06-14/h…

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!

The decades-long plan to turn Victoria's coal mines into lakes

So much truth in this piece! Our natural environments and coastal communities are suffering under these impacts – at Aireys Inlet - Fairhaven, Victoria

Eden Project expects good news in new year
(Let’s hope the New Year brings a renewed sense of commitment from @edenproject, @Alcoa & government to listen to the community & to involve it in every step of the decision making process @timpallas #springst)

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 seems unlikely that a gentler approach will work. The irresponsible element come and despoil the Anglesea Heath and it can hardly be argued that more education is required to understand that it is inappropriate to dump rubbish in the bush. More enforcement would be good too.

Maybe Local & State Government could invest in a few of these signs to help educate the irresponsible trail bike riders & four wheel drivers who leave rubbish behind & often damage the fragile Anglesea Heath as well? @surfcoastnotes @crrosehodge @LilyDAmbrosioMP @ParksVictoria
