Theme                   Key comments include:
Community               “Nominated Council contact with clearly identified email pathway for community engagement and notification of concern,
                        particularly when erosion issues are progressing and have not been acted upon.”

                        “…history would suggest a lack of proper consultation and realistic timeframes for responses from stakeholders.”
Land owners             “Better engagement with local property owners would be a good start and not as much emphasis placed on some of the
                        extreme views of associations that purport to provide the views of local ratepayers but restrict who can become
                        members eg only those supported by the existing association committee!”

                        “Your biggest partners will be people living locally to the beach. There is no doubt they will turn out to litter picking
                        weekends, weeding etc if organised and mobilised.”
Business                “As long as any partnerships with business or developers benefit the environment instead of them.”

                        “Ban on any commercial development in any partnership."
