Protesting E zones
I concur wholeheartedly with Bruce Lyons. If this is not the most regressive move the Bega Valley Shire Council has ever adopted I don’t know what is. Are we not to look to the future and hope that maybe we one day will be able to provide homes and opportunities for our future generations? What future does the Bega Valley have if we can’t progress? What future business will we ever encourage if we can’t develop the Bega Valley? These new E zonings not only stifle future property development, but also threaten our farming community with restrictions on everything from running stock to making your very own property fire safe. The residents of the Bega Valley should unite and stop these ill-conceived policies before they destroy our very future.

It's important not to destroy the reason that people want to live in a place. Threats to the natural beauty are a real turn-off.

I think there are 2 sides to this story and I am happy that some of our most sensitive areas are being protected. It's what makes this place - and our future in nature-based tourism so unique.

It's great to see the community starting to stand up for it's own rights and benefits. BVSC have for too long left the decision making in the hands of the bureaucracy. It is the bureaucracy that is only interested in raising enough money to survive through direct and indirect taxes. My family fully supports the moves now being made to stop council indiscriminately placing environment zones and restrictions all over the shire especially near the beaches and properties owned by those of us who want progress. Please let us create businesses and jobs for the young generation who are being forced out of the shire in search of employment!

Ahah The Mark Reeves (ex EGSC mayor) memorial boat ramp hasn't been the promised "economic panacea". I won't say 490 ignored submissions against the proposal told you so.
