{"status": "ok", "message": "Success!", "html": "\u003Cp\u003EIt seems to me that one area that has been so far overlooked is the fact that along Chepana Street there is a \u0026quot;littoral rainforest\u0026quot; that is supposed to be a \u0026quot;rare and precious\u0026quot; piece of coastal reserve.  There have been great efforts over the last few months by Council and Landcare to re-establish this \u0026quot;rainforest\u0026quot;.  A great deal of money has been spent weeding and replanting.  Residents have been forced by Council to move fences and anything encroaching on this reserve at their own expense.  This is Crown Land owned by the State Government, apparently in the care of Council to look after.  I hear very little discussion about the importance of SAVING this piece of land.  Is it all of a sudden no longer important to Council and the State Government, now that it might cost bigger bucks to save? Happy enough when it is only the property owners footing bills and paying rates(well above those who live across the road) And for what the privelege of seeing their houses fall into the ocean or have ever decreasing property values thanks to the Council's notation on the 149 Certificate which should not have been placed there at this stage. IF THE STATE GOVERNMENT OWN THIS PIECE OF LAND SHOULD THEY NOT PAY TO PROTECT IT?  HOW IMPORTANT IS IT ANYWAY?  The houses on the seaward side of Chepana Street will not be the first to go if there is beach erosion - the rainforest will, or has this escaped their minds.  So where are the \u0026quot;greenies\u0026quot; on this issue, they seem to be conspicuously quiet! \u003C/p\u003E\u0026nbsp;"}
