Hawkesbury-Nepean Development Dilemma

By Richard Smith - posted Friday, 4 February 2011

There are three questions that I pose:

What is the duty of care of politicians and planners to the community?
Can the Community recover from the inevitable flood disaster that will happen in the Hawkesbury-Nepean?
With the benefit of the Brisbane experience, can our politicians and planners meet the challenge or will they continue to make the same mistakes?
