19th ANNUAL COASTAL CONFERNECE NOVEMBER 2010

Late last year, Valley Watch Committee member Ros Woodward represented Valley Watch at this conference. Council staff from Ballina, Richmond, Tweed, Gold Coast and even Adelaide attended; however the only representative from Clarence Valley Council was Councillor Margaret McKenna.

The conference was wide-ranging in its subjects, and Ros gained a lot of information that is very relevant to our area.

Topics included:

Coastal Protection and Other Legislation Amendment Act 2010.
Indemnity of Councils ï¿½ the need to adhere to acts/reforms/tools to ensure higher liability security is maintained.
Concern re climate change in the increase in frequency of Extreme Events
Portfolio of alternate energies needs to be invested in world wide (wind, solar, nuclear, wave, carbon capture).
