I repeat what I said when I first heard about the proposed Wamberal seawall…..”so council wants to take on nature?” If we work with nature, then we have a chance.

The owners of the Beach Front properties in Wamberal it appears have failed carry out a risk assessment when acquiring those properties due to coastal erosion. The Doctrine of Caveat Emptor BUYER BEWARE principle
The power of Mother Nature is a superior force to any Civil Engineering Design exposed to the ravages of any future East Coast Low
There is no reason that rate payers should subsidise the DA application.
Many Central Coast properties situated in heavily wooded areas are vulnerable to the threat of bushfire. Should the Council contribute to wooded areas, No!
Therefor given that coastal erosion, and fire threat are equally a climate change risks, it is up to any parties settling in risk areas to Manage their risk.

In reply to peter.

Why should these people that chose to live in the sand be entitled to any public funding at all?
I don’t want my rates going towards these self entitled imbeciles that have built their monstrosities right on the beach
They are all eyesores
Obviously these people weren’t around years ago when most of them crumbled into the Pacific Ocean with the fish.
Council should have made it all public land
But who knows with Central Coast Council
Look at their history lol

There are other options besides a Seawall that will destroy the beach & cause end effects into both lagoons creating flooding to properties & infrastructure around the lagoons. A council under administration should not be doing this. Sunday 21/1 at 12 noon beach rally should be a huge community event.

Forget transparency and open and honest information about any central coast environmental issues with this lot in charge of our ratepayer funds.We need an democratically elected Group of Councillors asap

I think that Wamberal residents should be pleased that the council is interested in keeping residents safe. Shame on those who do not want a sea wall

The best place for a seawall at Wamberal is NOT on the beach side, it’s between the beachfront homes and Ocean View Road. That way the sand dune can do it’s natural job and the wall can act as a back up if it is breached.
