HPERM Ref: D24/525468 |

Recommendation That Council staff produce a report which clarifies large scale community concerns regarding the planting of trees, medium size shrubs and groundcovers adjacent to, and overlooking foreshore areas across the Shoalhaven.

Council staff note, consult and respond to the following list of very common grievances: 1. The area in question is part of a residential precinct and should not be treated as a wilderness location. 2. Erosion is minimal, and the vaguely communicated proposed works will have less than marginal improvement to the site. 3.
