DRAFT WIDEBAY REGIONAL COASTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN
November 17, 2008The links below are to the policies and maps for the draft regional coastal management plan . The Bligh goverment refuses to implement this plan , which was created by a Regional Consultative group of local citizens nominated by the Beattie cabinet .
It is my belief that the Bligh goverment is planning to remove the ability for the EPA to control development in the coastal zone , currentley, development which occurs within a Coastal Management District must be assessed by the EPA . The State Coastal Management Plan is undergoing a review by the EPA , there is a ‘pre determined ‘outcome for the review , the outcome of this review will be to remove all power from EPA to control coastal development.
