Councillors had just over one week to make their decision after receiving the final design and economic reports which have come under considerable criticism. See our Media Release and ABC news coverage, and Council Minutes.

Economists at Large concluded the serious methodological problems within the Buchan economic impact assessment call into question the validity of the results. Buchan Consulting is the fourth company EGSC has commissioned to write an economic report on its proposed harbour development.

It preserves the values of Bastion Point and enhances the amenity for users. This alternative is by no means a detailed design. It does however show that there are other better options besides the Option 3b breakwater development. We support the Inquiry Panel’s recommendation that the Council should establish a community advisory committee to be independently facilitated and whose role it would be to determine the most appropriate design solution for Bastion Point.
