    Narrabeen Lagoon Circuit Jim Somerville Nov12.Pdf

    There is nothing more difficult to take in hand or more uncertain of success than to take a lead in the introduction of a new order of things, because the innovation has for enemies all those who have done well under the old conditions and lukewarm defenders in those who may do well under the new. Machiavelli __________ For the cause that needs assistance, For the wrong that needs resistance, For the future in the distance, May I help to make a difference. __________ A little while, too brief at most, And even my smile will be a ghost, A little while, the briefest look, And who shall trace the path I took. Copyright: James G. Somerville, 83 Wimbledon Avenue, Narrabeen NSW 2101 Map on last page courtesy Warringah Council Published by FINGER-Printing, 8A Howard Avenue, Dee Why NSW 2099 Typeset by Debra Hallett Cover Photo by Roger Marquet Publishing advice by Jill B. Bruce October 2012 Introduction Narrabeen Lagoon is the jewel in the crown of Sydney’s coastal waterways. Its 2.2 square kilometres surface is popular with kayakers, sailors, anglers and wind surfers while on the shore there are picnic areas and paths popular with walkers, runners and cyclists. About half of its 55 square kilometres catchment is bush which provides habitat for a wide variety of species viz 160 birds, 18 animals and 23 reptiles. Because it is intermittently open to the ocean, it is a true lagoon, not the lake which the Geographical Names Board, despite historical and scientific evidence, wrongly designated it from 1977 to 2009.

    11957 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY Thursday 24 May 2012 __________ The Speaker (The Hon. Shelley Elizabeth Hancock) took the chair at 10.00 a.m. The Speaker read the Prayer and acknowledgement of country. WARATAH ADVISORY AND ANDREW HUMPHERSON Ministerial Statement Mr CHRIS HARTCHER (Terrigal—Minister for Resources and Energy, Special Minister of State, and Minister for the Central Coast) [10.00 a.m.], by leave: I wish to make a short statement about claims made by the Leader of the Opposition in relation to my chief of staff, Andrew Humpherson. Yesterday I informed the House that Mr Humpherson worked in his own government relations consultancy business for seven months until March 211. I said: His website has been dormant and was not switched off due to an administrative oversight. He transferred his mobile phone number when he commenced as my chief of staff. His LinkedIn profile confirms that his government relations business discontinued in March 2011. That statement about LinkedIn was correct at the time I said it. However, I did not know at that time that the profile had only just been corrected by Mr Humpherson to reflect the reality; that is, that Mr Humpherson has not worked in government relations since he commenced employment in my office on 4 April 2011. He has received no requests to do such work, has undertaken no such work and has received no payment for such work since starting in my office. Anyone who looked at the Waratah Advisory website would have seen that it had been dormant since before the election. It contained out-of-date information and had not been updated since the election.

This is unacceptable, with Liberal MPs representing the Northern Peninsula and North Shore continuing to push the government to meet its previous promises. The State Labor Government has similarly exposed its political deceit over a rail link to Sydney’s North West after ten years of promises. Those few infrastructure projects that do progress Jonathan O’Dea, Barry O’Farrell and local past the promise stage are aborted or delivered community leaders discussing local planning late and over budget. Perhaps the worst example issues with Minister Keneally. is the $95million wasted on the abandoned T-Card project, initially to be delivered in 2000. Community concerns were also expressed over the The public have had enough of such incompetence, lack of local conservation areas, dual occupancy waste and mismanagement impacting on their controls, reduced community input and the impact quality of life.
