Update on Manly Warringah War Memorial Park Plan of Management

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

News just in from the council (think this was sent to an email list, many of you probably have it too):

I am emailing to update you on the progress of the Manly Warringah War Memorial Park Plan of Management. As you probably know, we had originally hoped to release an ‘Issues and Directions Discussion Paper’ for comment in September.

However, due to the importance of Manly Dam and the need to fully understand the impacts of each of the views and values expressed during the consultation, this paper will now be released in November 2010.

Yet more press coverage:

I said (yes, this is getting comical):

In theory the landfill site might make a nice riding venue. However, back in 2001 it was scheduled for closure in 2005. I understand that date has since been pushed back to mid-2010 at the earliest - a date hardly likely to be kept as WSN now proposes that an extra 180,000 tonnes of landfill be dumped here. Given the constant slippage in this date how can the community possibly rely on what might happen there?

I replied,

Sorry, but I find Mr Cox's comments hypocritical.

There are many places in National Parks where walkers have carved hundreds of steps into the sandstone. Eg. Giant Stairway (Blue Mountains), from the North of Banry Bay down to the water (Garigal), North end of Warrimoo Track (Ku-ring-gai), etc, etc.

I don't know what damage Mr Cox is talking about, but whatever it is cannot even come close to the above examples.
