Hello all,
Well done my fellow bitou blitzers - WE HAVE HAD A WIN
COUNCIL HAS VOTED IN FAVOR OF HALTING AERIAL SPRAYING FOR 12 MONTHS TO ALLOW THE COMMUNITY
TO WORK TOGETHER TO ERADICATE THIS WEED WITHOUT CHEMICALS
There are a number of conditions but I do believe we will meet those easily. I will email you the full “resolution” once council staff sends it to me. Ray Darney, Director of Planning, Development and Environment Services called NWPS and notified them of the councils decision to withdraw from the programme of aerial spraying on Council managed land within minutes of the decision.
Attached is a programme successfully implemented by the Evans Head community when they stopped aerial spraying and turned to hand removal. “Dirawong Reserve” If we implement a programme similar to this I believe we will achieve mighty things for the well being of all who live in this shire. We now have 74 volunteers willing to go into the field to achieve this. It is a long and arduous journey that we embark on but the reward is immense.
We have not even tackled D.E.C.C. (Department of Environmental and Climate Change) yet but we have now achieved a small miracle having bought to the Public and our Politicians notice the hazards of using chemicals. Hopefully, chemical free coastal regions in our Shire are just a first in our campaign to turn the Queen Mary around.
Please watch our blog to stay informed, I watch for all comments there as well. It is an open forum for all to add their opinion and a perfect way of giving everyone up to the very minute information. www.byronbitou.blogspot.com If you have anything you would like posted on it please send it to my office and we will put it up.
