The BBBA believes support at a local Council level is vital to achieving great outcomes into the future. Council is the sole manager and fund receiver of these infrastructures grants such as Boating Now.
Council elections are soon to be held and our Association is taking this opportunity to seek support for "our time on the water". We have asked each candidate to answer the questions.
Questions
When it comes time to deal with matters in Council will you:
vote to keep the Clyde Street boat ramp open indefinitely
support increasing the number of floating pontoons along the foreshore of the CBD
support allocation of Council funds to improve tourist and boating facilities at the local boat ramps such as seats, tables, and safety lights
ensure due process such as consultation with community user groups is followed by Council staff during grant application, submission, planning and implementation phases
support the immediate removal of water restrictions at boat ramps for the cleaning of vessels such as at Bermagui.
In considering future developments in Council will you support
the establishment of a Council Marine Infrastructure Advisory Committee
a commensurate allocation of funds to marine infrastructure as to playgrounds, bike tracks and coastal walks so more people can enjoy our great waterways, lakes and sea on the South Coast.
increased water based promotions, events and activities to attract more people to the South Coast waterways.
As a council candidate therefore, would you support action on the following issues across the Shire
upgrading boat launch ramps and other boat docking facilities such as public wharfs, floating pontoons and fish cleaning tables
the upgrade of rundown amenity blocks at boat ramps and installing black water pump-out facilities at the major river locations
establishing publicly owned and run, safe and secure vessel storage facilities, on and off the water
better management of storm water run-off to keep our waterways cleaner.
We will share the candidates comments with our members and your potential supporters.
