| In
December 2001, a group of concerned residents and community members
formed the Careel Bay, Pittwater Protection Group.
This was in
response to news that the successful tenderer for the lease of
the Careel Boat Shed were proposing a 96 berth marina beyond the
existing leased area as well as a much expanded shore-based facility.
In 2004, the
Group became the Careel Bay Pittwater Protection Association Incorporated
(CBPPA), a registered Pittwater community group.
Since 2001,
CBPPA have worked with other community groups, local council,
government agencies, individuals and scientists to protect the
bay for future generations.
CBPPA has:
- coordinated
petitions with more that 6000 signatures opposing the size and
scale of the proposed marina
- liaised
with media outlets to ensure maximum publicity for this issue
- held public
meetings to inform the community on the progress of the Development
Application
- distributed
newsletters to update local residents on the process of the
campaign
- produced
bumper stickers to raise awareness of the campaign: Careel
Bay It's not for sale
- Developed
a video to inform an audience wider than that of the Pittwater
area of the implications of this D.A.
- made detailed
submissions to the Department of Planning
- written
to and held meetings with relevant politicians and stakeholders.
