Welcome to our neighbourhood site

We have created this blog site to keep our neighbours up to date on matters concerning the disgraceful state of the Korora Lagoons. A few concerned residents have approached Coffs Harbour City Council raising their concerns about the sedimentation of the water body, the increasing weeds and general lack of interest in repairing the mess that lies before them. Following some initial interest by one CHCC officer to kick start some on-ground action, little else has eventuated. This is despite repeated emails to CHCC, local members and the Mayor. We were promised months ago that the pollution event caused by the outrageous development (clearing and construction) of the Opal Cove area, would be resolved in the following weeks - the sediment from Opal Cove washed down the road, into drains and finally deposited in the lagoons. That sediment has now replaced the water and has created an island of muck and filth, an absolute eyesore in our neighbourhood. But somehow this compliance issue seems not to be important and the developers continue to make a mockery of the local planning process. As more information comes to hand we will post any developments.
