Last Wednesday, four members of the Fame Cove Action Group met with our local State member, Kate Washington, in the Terrace. They were Doug Kohlhoff, Len Yearsley, Peter Chappelow and yours truly.

You will remember that in 2017, the Land and Environment Court imposed on the owner of the property known as Fame Cove a deadline of December 2020 to complete a complex plan for remediation work for the disastrous damage done to the flora and fauna. But since the hearing, our concerns over the lack of progress by the owner, Mr Philip Lee, on the 400-hectare property have...

Real Change is Hard

History
dougkSat, 11/05/2019 - 12:04pm

Even when current practices are morally indefensible ...
Even when most of the population want change ...
   … Vested interests will throw everything they can to block meaningful action.

These changes will put our country at a competitive disadvantage.
We mustn’t damage the economy.
There are other problems that should be addressed first.

dougkSun, 02/08/2015 - 9:35pm

As we continue to campaign for improved telecommunications in the Cove it is worth remembering that this local struggle began many years ago. But before relating a bit of that history here is a quick question:

How many permanent residents do you think would have lived in our North Arm Cove village back in 1968?

10? 20? 50? 100? more?
