Harwood3.Pdf Abandonment/Retraction/Withdrawal/Cancellation of all Projects/Proposals/Precincts relating to Harwood Marine/Harwood Slipway. It is wonderful a marine precinct is being planned for the Clarence River, and planned as a precinct from Yamba to Grafton including the towns along the way, Iluka, Maclean, Goodwood Island and Harwood. This document is a response to the Harwood Marine Project proposed by GHD. Harwood for many reasons, should be rejected for the many reasons including the fact that it doesn't comply with various pieces of legislation, for which GHD treat as minor non-compliances or justifiable non-compliances. There is no actual plan submitted, no budgets, no timeframe, no financial statements to establish the proposal can be funded or is financially sound. Remember Alan Bond and Christopher Skase grand ideas and no money.. The plan Submitted by GHD is the Clarence Valley Councils Marine precinct brochure. The size of land they consider ideal is only 14.5ha (Henderson Shipyard Perth) and is part of a bigger project funded by the Western Australian and Federal Governments. The proposal is to rezone 42.6 ha of land currently zoned RU1, and which is part of the Mid North Coast Mapping Project and is considered of Regional Significant Farmland. The land should be promoted as such, and not reduce the land under sugar. The existing facility is non-compliant currently with OHS regulation, environmental regulation, environmental worlds best best practice, and as a result does not comply with Native Title. The proposal is economically unsound because there are towns (Iluka, Yamba, Maclean, Grafton) with facilities, infrastructure, not in flood-prone land. By rejecting the proposal, would not put an additional 300 persons lives at risk (during flood season), and that is if 300 extra persons could be found to work there. It has taken since 1992 (although the slipway began in 1969) to employ 40 persons. How long will it take to encourage business to the area and employ an additional 300 persons. Industries (marine related) are more likely in Iluka, Yamba, Maclean, and Grafton to employ 300 additional workers, plus recruit marine related businesses to the area. It is reported Harwood Marine turnover does not exceed $10 million dollars per year. How can a company of this size develop a project this big, and survive, especially without existing infrastructure, roads, electricity, a town and its facilities. The proposal is unsound for the environmental reasons documented in this document. I call upon Clarence Valley Council & the various Government Departments to review the facts in this document and revoke their respective support. Obviously the right questions haven't been asked before. Paul Saunders 1 Abandonment/Retraction/Withdrawal/Cancellation of all Projects/Proposals/Precincts relating to Harwood Marine/Harwood Slipway.
