Nature's forces give a glimpse of the future
This week, nature's forces have combined to give a glimpse into the future.
Tide and a modest breeze have joined forces to spray the utility path that serves pedestrians and cyclists at Tascott.
While the council focuses on supporting more development, nature's forces continue without any human intervention.
This is an inevitable traffic risk in progress, destined for action, such as signs and warning lights in the future, leading to closure of Brisbane Water Dr.
No amount of development can change the inevitable, but only add to the infrastructure problem.
Will this flooding and inundation problem be rated as a priority by the Council's senior staff, and will it be another case of too little too late?
The thousands of motorists that daily use Brisbane Water Dr should familiarise themselves with the changing conditions for their convenience and safety.
I recommended to Gosford City Council years ago that a climate change section be established at or above director level with the power to overrule directors.
This action if adopted is still years away for the bureuacrats at Central Coast Council.
There needs to be an audit of the Council's staff to determine if the staff have the qualifications to carry out their duties.
Change is certain. Action is not.
