Environmental Report and Review outfling the types of shrublands in the Whale Trail site in Woolgoolga

Response to this request is long overdue. By law, under all circumstances, Coffs Harbour City Council should have responded by now (details). You can complain by requesting an internal review.

Dear Coffs Harbour City Council,
I would like a copy of the Environmental Report and Review outlining the types of shrublands and grasslands in the Whale Trail site and explaining that Council does not support the proposed boardwalk because it will result in significant loss of vegetation, habitat fragmentation and light intrusion

Yours faithfully,

Ray Willing

Good morning Mr Willing,

 

Please clarify the location of the ‘proposed boardwalk’ which is
referenced in your request to enable Council to respond appropriately.

 

As you may already be aware, Council considered 4 options for Item SI22/06
of the Council meeting on 22 April 2022 & resolved to adopt Option C.

 

You may contact Council for assistance in regards to this email.

 

Regards

Good afternoon Mr Willing,

 

As you confirmed in a discussion with Council staff on the 14th June 2022,
the reference document for your initial request is a letter from “Train
Reaction Pty Ltd” where ‘Environmental Review and Report’ is stated.

 

Further to that discussion, a generally agreeable outcome was reached in
that it would be beneficial to everyone to focus resources on moving
forward rather than re-investigating this aspect of the project.

 

Consequently, your request is concluded.

 

Regards

 

Coffs Harbour City Council

Dear Coffs Council Email Account,
Thank you

We do not consider the request is concluded.

We are delighted that the Whale Trail is now proceeding in a more cohesive manner and we have generally agreed to move forward.

Council staff advised on June 14 that staff have been unable to locate the report sought.

For clarification the report is referred to as follows in a letter addressed to me dated July 20 2021 from Train Reaction Pty Ltd under a heading “2.Material Considered”;

“2.1.7 Environmental Report and Review outlining the types of shrublands and grasslands in the Whale Trail site and explaining that Council does not support the proposed boardwalk because it will
result in significant loss of vegetation, habitat fragmentation and light intrusion.”

We have always referred to it as the Environmental Report and Review (“ERR”).

Please confirm that this Report cannot now be located.

In order to move forward we would like to have any similar reports or draft reports or relevant reports confirming your recent assurances to the NBRA and the Chamber that there are no material environmental issues in the pathways for the Whale Trail currently under discussion.

Yours sincerely,

Ray Willing

Dear Coffs Harbour City Council,
We have asked for a robust environmental report on the Whale Trail and asked you to confirm your verbal advice in writing that you cannot find the Environmental Report and Review (ERR) which we have requested.

Please provide a robust report if you cannot find the ERR and provide advice in writing that the ERR cannot be found.

Yours faithfully,

Ray Willing
