Council meeting re Bitou Abatement this Thursday

 

Hello all,

 

Below is an email from Hilary Bain who has picked up the ball after I have been unable to carry on.   I so appreciate her help, she is doing a fantastic job to protect us all from this possible scourge.

Re The BITOU ABATEMENT PROGRAMME being discussed at the next council meeting 8^th October, 09 at council chambers, Mullumbimby.

 

You can see the report in its entirety on the councils web site on the Agenda P160  Item 11.27.  Cr.Richard Staples thinks it is good and is going to recommend the council accept the two areas designated for our group to begin a chemical free programme. 

 

 

Notice of meeting and request for help from Hilary

 

This Thursday, October 8th, council will be voting on the report about the 12 month stay on the aerial sprayings in South Golden Beach. The report is suggesting that we form an alternative chemical-free dune care group. Write to your councilors and voice your opinion in support of the new group, and if you can show up at the council meeting. please do. We need to let the council know that we are for a non-chemical approach. We also need a name for the new group, so please email me your suggestions.

 

If we get a positive vote for the group, we will arrange a free, hands on workshop in manual bitou removal with Ellen White, who has produced amazing results with her work at the Dirawong reserve in Evans head. Then we'll get to work on site.

If you want to voice your opinion at the council meeting, public access is between 9.00am-10.30am before the ordinary meeting. You need to contact the general manager Graeme Faulkner no later than 12 noon on Wednesday to request public access.
