The Wellington Shire is now trying to stop development at the Honeysuckles on the basis of global warming. An emergency meeting of landowners on 26 June 2008 was well attended. One of the attendees pointed to an absurd contradition in a recent announcement (see link below Gippsland TImes 27 June 2008) for a multi-million dollar state government grant for the contentious relocation of the caravan park at Seaspray, only 5km down the road from the Honeysuckles. Contrary to the MInister's statements, the proposed new site is no less vulnerable than the old one as it too is behind a primary sand dune. It seems global warming can be used to sell anything - to further the shire/government development agendas and for stripping away the property rights of ratepayers.
