I RECEIVED THIS RETURNING FROM
RAINBOW BEACH
ACT NOW TO PROTECT YOUR RIGHT TO
CAMP & DRIVE ON NOOSA’S NORTH SHORE & COOLOOLA BEACHES.
A State government Committee of “selected” people is recommending changes and they will be introduced unless we act. This committee has no representation by fishers, campers, 4wd groups or people whose livelihood depends on beach usage. WHY?
Urge the State Government to listen to the people (mostly families) who use this area for
recreation and relaxation.
Do you want to be able to
camp and fish without too many restrictions?
Do you SUPPORT another tax ($30 per week-minimum)? A fee is proposed for vehicles to drive on
the beach as
well as a proposal to more than halve the number of campers? (The present 3000 campers will be reduced to 500 campers most weekends). This will take away the opportunity for family affordable holidays.
Do you support unrealistic speed reductions to 50 kph for the whole beach?

(If you don’t agree with the following clauses delete as you see fit.)
We urge the State Government to take heed of the wishes and needs of
the families who have used this area for over seventy years. is there
ANY evidence that the current system of camping is not sustainable.
The beach has remained fairly constant; aren’t there more brahimi kites,
more pippis, and more vegetation on the frontal coloured dunes?
1. The closing of
the beach (to vehicles) between the first and third
cutting is desirable. Please do it. Is there any reason for closing
the beach to the river mouth? Leave access to the river mouth.
2. The monies collected from beach driving permits is unfair and
unrealistic and would be lost in collection and policing. It is a
way to stop your desire to use
the beach. WHY is it being
imposed?
3. RAM is unnecessary and provides nothing for the fee. A fair
alternative is to issue daily beach permits at $2.00 per car, from
a dispensing machine. This would raise in excess of $100,000
p.a.(with no staff) to use n beach irnprovernents(
toilets).
4. We support protecting the environment. We support using porta
potties and need more dump points, and want to continue
camping.
