Do what the DLSavings proponents on SBreeze did and draft up a letter and we can each copy/paste it and put our name on it. I don't know the spot but I'll help in the campaign.

Hey qwerty, please don't take this the wrong way, as really I am on your side. I'm just trying to get a gist of your argument here. What is your opposal to? I do know Gerroa and know that it is at its best in a Nor Easter and alternatively a Southerly, both wind directions of which, from what I can tell, will in no way be affected by the development should it go ahead. Is your beef more with the fact of spoiling the fairly pristine surrounds of the area or is the impact it will have on the surrounds such as increased traffic etc etc.
As I said, not a criticism, I'm just trying to understand you opposition.
Cheers mate :)

Yep, correct Crash,

And Sickem, you are also correct. It is likely that the wind will not be affected where we currently sail.
However, as you also stated, the issue is the monstrosity they are willing to dump into this area, and the potential to stuff the surrounds, and possible negative effects on us. And keep in mind that anything they do will be irreversable.

Opposition to these proposals will come from all corners down there. This isn't just a windsurfing issue (as mentioned by Crashlanding). Without sounding too much like a hippy, the forest areas they are ripping down are pretty unique in terms of plant and animal life (crikey what was that!). As well as some sacred aboriginal sites. I've only learnt a lot of this recently. Personally it gives me the sh!ts when companies think they can just come in destroy all of that. As the NSW sailors love Gerroa, they are doing their bit to say no f**king way.

And who's to say what affect it might have on us down the track?
Safety in the water will become much more of an issue. Its sketchy now, and would only take some rich golfing knob on his holiday down there to cause problems. Who knows how far that would go?
Its the number 1 spot on the coast. Gotta make some serious noise about it.

And also, if they approve crap like this, who know what other little additions they might get approved in the future?

can't you just practice your bunker shots on the beach?

Good work...I have sent them an email too. Hopefully it will help, cheers

I'd encourage everyone to send an email. Even if all you write in it is "Reject the Gerroa sandmine proposal" then send it.

Only takes a few seconds and it all counts.
