Resident Mount Court case Against sale of Foreshore Land

LATEST UPDATE - 26/9/13.  Justice Biscoe of the NSW Land & Environment Court has reserved judgment to consider arguments from the Save Little Manly Beach Foreshore group and Manly Council before making a ruling in this matter.

Thanks goes to  the efforts of  barristers Ingrid King and Justin Doyle and solicitor Bruce Woolf in representing the local residents to ensure that this vital matter of public interest was heard by the court.  Also to the Save Little Manly Beach Foreshore group who have been fighting this issue tirelessly since Mayor Jean Hay's decision to sell in December 2012.
=========================================================================================
It all started in December 2012 when the Mayor, Jean Hay, moved a Mayoral Minute that the Council-owned foreshore land at Little Manly Beach, 34 & 36 Stuart Street be sold to cover the cost of buying No 40 Stuart Street.

The land to be sold has been owned by Council by more than 40 years, and zoned 'open space'. It forms part of the public space at Little Manly Beach and No 34 in particular, is used extensively as dingy and boat storage.

A group of residents have got together to challenge the Council's sale of this land claiming it is 'community' land and can not be sold without consultation.  The case is listed for 24 & 25th September 2013 in the Land & Environment Court.  For a brief understanding of what the case is about - view the short video below.
Great coverage on Channel 10 news on September 19, 2013 about the issue.

Hi Candy
Thanks for your support to keep the land in public ownership and uphold the need to maintain foreshore for public use as set out in the LEP
