This request has been closed to new correspondence from the public body. Contact us if you think it ought be re-opened.

The request was partially successful.

Dear Coffs Harbour City Council,

I would like to know the rates of poisoning and pollution to our waterways due to the extensive blueberry farming in the Sandy Beach area. As well as why they're allowed to get away with illegally pumping from our natural waterways

Yours faithfully,

Kyriae Crofts
