I refer to the article headed ‘Beach saga continues’ by Peter Hill.
I wish to thank Peter Hill for informing the Gippsland residents and title holders whose land value has been slashed down to $500 without recompense for the huge damages to our property value and damages for the trauma and mental anguish that we have suffered at the hands of Wellington Shire Council.
As a victim of council’s policies I am particularly proud to learn that the Gippsland Times exposed council for slashing the land value down to $100 and for charging the land owners and victims of this scandal a $100 fire levy and rates which is more than the land value.
I believe that the residents of Victoria have been treated with utter contempt.
There must be a Royal Commission or a judicial inquiry into this scandal.
What action is the Liberal Party taking to recompense the victims of mining Licence VIC/L1 which was granted in 1967 and in the knowledge that thousands of people who were entrapped into buying land at the 90 Mile Beach would be affected?
The above licence expired on August 24, 2009.
The Coastal Spaces Landscape Assessment study identifies that the
90 Mile Beach is visually of state significance and potentially of national significance.
Any work should take this into consideration.
I tend to think that the sale of one million tonnes of coal extraction per year which will be transformed into 580,000 tonnes of briquettes and sent to China will also transform the iconic 90 Mile Beach into an industrial wasteland.
Shame on you Peter Ryan.
