Editor:
OK, let’s summarize:
• Copious amounts of rain, followed by water rationing.
• Single, congested (and dangerous) two-lane road, masquerading as a highway.
• Garbage disposal system at the end of its useful life.
• Municipal governments hooked on development cost charges.
• An essential ferry system, barely coping with winter demand, that falls flat on its face once summer arrives.
Welcome to the Third World. Also known as the Sunshine Coast.
Let’s quit the finger pointing. Freeze residential development on the Coast until the silo mentality that pervades all levels of government here is eliminated, and the infrastructure issues – for which they are collectively responsible – are competently resolved.
