CARRIED Page 6 Minutes of Ordinary Meeting - 19 June 2019 Bass Coast Shire Council D Public Question Time D.1 Ken Hailey - Coastal Erosion 1. In view of the severe problems at Jam Jerrup, Cowes, Inverloch and other townships, does the Council accept the Shire has a coastal erosion emergency? 2. If so what funds are in place for emergency responses when required, in partnership with the community, State and Federal Governments? Response: Council has several coastal erosion issues across the Shire which it has been discussing with community groups in the affected areas, and strongly advocating to the state and federal government for the past 18 months. Recently Cr Tessari met with State Government Representatives at Parliament House and this week met with the Deputy Secretary of the Federal Department of Environment to advocate on this matter. These discussions include immediate short term actions and long term strategic solutions. Council has recently secured up to $1.35M from the federal government for erosion mitigation works. Council has secured $270,00 from State Government agencies in the 2018/19 financial year to deliver erosion mitigation works. In the event of an emergency Council can access State Government Natural Disaster Financial Assistance where the emergency meets the funding criteria. D.2 Kevin Griffin,
