Members of Caloundra Toastmasters will be attending our meeting on 10/5. They apparently have something up their sleeves for us!? Guest Speaker
Graeme Smith-Chair of the Pumicestone Passage Management Body In his second visit to our Club meeting, Graeme discussed the long term threat faced by the Pumicestone passage from rate of development in the Sunshine Coast catchment areas, together with the inaction and downright lack of action by the multitude of government bodies, current legislation and council inertia. The future holds significant concerns for the flora, fauna and overall health of the marine park, Pumicestone Passage as well as the water quality of this important tourist resource.
The consequences of the breakthrough and widening of the gap which has reached 400mtres and still growing, could have significant consequences for the future of the passage and surrounds.
The new breakthrough has not yet been gazetted as a bar so any boat suffering any damage trying to cross will not be covered by insurance. |
