Here are two pictures
taken by a local resident and member of the group
‘Friends of Willunga Basin’ who keeps an eye on
environmental issues at Maslin Beach.
The first picture was taken shortly after an 800m fence was installed at considerable expense by a State environmental agency along the storm-damaged face of the old quarry rehabilitation site at Maslin Beach – ostensibly to protect the overburden from further erosion.
The second picture was taken after the very next storm event on 15 September, shortly after the fence was installed.
It’s hard to know whether to laugh or weep. Residents walking along the beach have been shaking their heads in disbelief. One would be forgiven for thinking that our State Government environmental planners get their qualifications out of Weeties packets. Perhaps the planner involved here qualified at the King Canute School of tidal management!
