In response to my article The battle for Western Port, Christine Grayden reminded us that “Politicians are not mind readers. They rely on us to be responsible citizens and let them know our concerns loud and clear”.
That time has come, for the proposed strategic framework for Western Port highlighted in my article is in limbo.
The framework calls for a:
- new strategic plan for Western Port;
- new collaborative management partnership; and
- dedicated Western Port fund, similar to the current Port Phillip Bay approach.
