Good afternoon,

Thank you for your continuing interest and advocacy regarding the need for a comprehensive government response to the worsening problem of coastal erosion.

As part of this continuing campaign, Rob has written to the newly sworn-in Minister for Climate Change, the Hon. Mark Butler MP, alerting him to the work already done by our community and calling on the  government to act on the many reports published over the past four years in relation to this issue. Rob’s letter, attached for your interest, was sent along with an email from Old Bar Beach Sand Replenishment Group President Elaine Pearce asking what had happened to the recommendations that were officially adopted by the government in 2010 from its own report on the Impact of Climate Change on Coastal Communities.

I will forward a copy of the Minister’s response on Rob’s behalf as soon as it is received.

Kind regards,

Garth
