PRESIDENTS REPORT – THE PRESIDENT

The president told the meeting that this agm‘s priority business was to decide where we go to from here in view of the fact that the DSE and the WFCM appear to be unaccountable to nobody but themselves, and will continue to ignore community opinions on many important matters while they pursue their own agenda.

The president recommended our association modify our website to include an interactive blogsite with the view that whatever happens at walkerville in the future….be it good or bad ,will be transparently illustrated in a very public electronic forum.we will continue to make representations to those authorities who determine what happens or doesn’t happen at walkerville regardless of whether they continue to ignore our opinions or not.

3. Bill Bray informed the ratepayers AGM that he gets complaints about dog access to the beach from both sides of the argument and the subject is a difficult one to deal with.
4. Caravan park issues………….joe pincini suggested we write the fcm requesting for the need for a caravan effluent “dump”…..some people apparently are doing what they need to do under the cover of darkness.

• Colin said the drainage systems in the park are ineffective in low lying areas and need upgrading.He also said there are plumbing issues in the toilet block near the kiosk….the other blocks are ok.
• another issue raised by Marion Wilson concerning water quality in the park……..apparently the water quality has been tested recently and is ok to drink but not many people seem to know….we will write to the fcm suggesting they put notices around the park about the testing results and the quality of the water.
