Environmental Benefits - Sustainability

Option 2

The comment highlights a need for change in the management of the marina, acknowledging that the current system is inefficient. The respondent supports the council's proposal for an Asset-Owning CCO but emphasizes the importance of further developing a plan that addresses both community needs and environmental challenges, such as sea level rise. Concerns are raised about the affordability and accessibility of new facilities, suggesting that high costs could exclude certain community groups, thereby not fully serving the broader community's interests.

The current management of the marina doesn't work well, so we need change.  I don't know enough about this issue so accept Council's proposal.  But, more work needs to develop a plan for the marina that works for our community and copes with sea level rise.  I am really concerned that the new sea sports building and infrastructure is too fancy and expensive.  It is likely to be unaffordable for clubs to use it, and hence will move our club away from the marina rather than encourage all water sports, and showcase them to all locals and visitors.  Those with money will have a great facility but the rest of us will be pushed out.
