Regarding Oscar Hill’s letter to the editor in the 9 July issue of The Informer, about ongoing work on an eroded section of Buffalo Beach shoreline: Firstly, our Council would like to make it clear that reinstating a section of the shoreline following erosion last year is something our wider organisation has committed to do. We strongly dispute any implication that one individual has not performed or is not committed to supporting Council to resolve this issue.
Secondly, we acknowledge the time that has passed without any significant physical work on site. Previous updates indicated Council is awaiting consent approvals and that remains the case. The fact that the existing seawall structure as well as the planned extension must be included in the consent complicates the process. An update will be provided following receipt of the consent.
