{"status": "ok", "message": "Success!", "html": "\u003Cp\u003E   I understand what you are saying but I think you miss the picture. The locals there are more protective of the beach than anyone else, only a fool would think otherwise. I think what people want is to achieve a bit of balance between where they live and the natural environment. To simply let house after house fall away will have not only have no benefits for the environment, but would hardly foster a sustainable future for the people of Cathie.\n\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E  It is easy for the 'Negatives' to find poor examples of coastal engerneering but like wise there are  millions of examples where 'Hard Engerneering techniques' in the natural environment have had hugely positive effects for both the community and environment alike. We only need to look a to our own region to see examples of this.\n\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E  Everyone wants to see the Environment looked after (no-one disagrees with this), everyone wants a beach (no-one disagrees with this), what is easily just as important (and maybe more in my opinion) is that no-ones lives are ruined and that the enormous social implications of 'doing nothing' are avoided at all costs. The Reactive Management Strategy doesn't deal with any of these issues! The short term economic gains of letting this bit of coastline fall away, pale in significance to the longer term detrimental effect it would have on the community, environment (beach and Lake) and economy (decreased tourism).\n\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E  Lets pray the council doesn't put this in the 'too hard basket', the decision couldn't be simpler!\n\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E   \u003C/p\u003E\u0026nbsp;"}
