Another big zit

So our bankrupt State Government has not only sold off much of our farm, the power and the waste services, but is now getting a golden handshake for giving the green light to a building development in Ettalong known as the Tesrol development.

This is simply not acceptable and all residents of the Peninsula should object most strongly to the environmental abuse about to befall a once beautiful waterway.

How dare they!

Be sure to have your say in March.

The State Government thinks that it's all right to plonk developments all over prime dunes.

This build on sand bit, was discovered to be not a very wise or intelligent thing to do way back in the middle of last century, when the Northern Beaches were subjected to high rises on the beach front and the beach simply disappeared due to the change in wind flow, thus affecting wave and sand performances.

Knowing what damage will occur and that it will result in high maintenance and ongoing costs to local council, why would you persist?

It will not attract tourists or visitors.

And it certainly doesn't impress ratepayers.

I can only imagine that placed beside the existing club, another similar structure will make the distant view from Church Point or Pittwater appear like a weird of pair of boobs hanging at the base of Blackwall mountain.

Interesting maybe, but not pretty!

I have known overseas visitors who saw the Mantra from Church Point for the first time, and cancelled their booking there for the next day because they though it looked like a big zit.
