The Settlement Strategy proposed adding a further 1,080 dwellings and 325 garden fl ats. The Settlement Strategy proposed a moratorium on releasing new land for development until after Byron’s chronic traffi c problems are fi xed. The Sewerage Plant is now in the process of being upgraded to specifi cally cope with the Settlement Strategy’s projected population. The level of new development proposed is in line with what is needed to satisfy the population targets of the Regional Strategy until 2031. The Draft Local Environmental Plan (LEP) allows enough development for a 100% population increase. In addition to the development proposed by the Settlement Strategy, it proposes to add an extra 1,200 dwellings as infi ll in residential areas, allows for a potential tenfold increase in garden fl ats (one on every lot), and releases land at Belongil Fields for some 220 dwellings, Crosby’s (Byron Tourist Park) for 150 manufactured homes, and West Sunrise for up to 130 dwellings. In addition to this there is Becton’s proposal for 174 ‘holiday units’ now on exhibition. IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT? This is not a ‘population cap’, it is a population explosion! Some people say this is still not enough, they want more. High density residential houses and garden fl ats packed with tourists – is this your vision for your neighbourhood? If they get their way our elderly and children would not want to live here – would you?

Local resident Hannah Fras- er’s childhood dream has become a career. Keeping her vision over the years, she now travels the world to exotic locations being fi lmed and photographed as a mermaid. Hannah painted mermaids before the age of 3 and continues creating mermaid art to this day. At age 9 Hannah made her fi rst mermaid tail out of orange plastic material. The waterlogged tail helped her develop strong dolphin-style swimming. In 2002 she created her second mermaid tail, a fully functional tail much faster than her childhood one.

1. Jamie Bell (seen here with the ever watchable Julie Walters) is superb as a working class boy who discovers ballet is his passion in Billy Elliot (TEN, Friday, 9pm). 2. Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman create as much sexual tension as a toaster in Kubrick’s ﬁ nal ﬂ awed outing Eyes Wide Shut (NBN, Saturday, 11pm). If you want real interplay, rent Shainberg’s Secretary, in which James Spader and Maggie Gyllenhall burn up the screen. 3. Fellini is right on the money in his satirical depiction of provincial town life in 1930s Italy in Amarcord (SBS, Monday, 1.10am). Those interested in politics might like to see Hired Assassin: Political Cartooning in Australia (ABC, 1 2 3 Monday, 11pm) before the sport is outlawed.
