DEAR News Of The Area,

For over the last two years I have been asking Council to follow-up on what can be done to restore the small section of V Wall at Nambucca Heads, because of sediment and rocks that have been washed onto the grass area between the V wall and `The Glen’ river inlet section of the river, as well as onto the sand and into the river.

Tourists cannot really fully utilise the grassed area to put down their towels and to walk into the water without treading on large rocks and boulders.

Council told me via email that it was Crown Land and referred it to the NSW Government.

Twice they’ve allegedly sent emails to the State without reply. I sent an email to Melinda Pavey’s Office last month and I’m awaiting a decent response after they acknowledged receipt of my email.

The NSW Government and Council managed to redevelop the car park, the walkway and grassed area of the V Wall, but not the short section of the V Wall which has looked like it for at least six years, albeit worse than it has ever been. Council and business have missed an opportunity to bring more tourists to the area and have them utilise this small section of the V Wall. The said area used to be `packed with people’ during summer. It’s a pity that even residents cannot enjoy it.

I am more than happy to go down to the area to show you exactly what I mean as a visual picture paints a thousand words.

Regards,
Mark Donohue
