PART TWO - EXPOSED!! Gold Coast Council’s Years of Lies, Cover-Ups and Neglect

PART TWO – EXPOSED!! Gold Coast Council’s years of cover-up, neglect and denials

Summary – The year in perspective

CASE #1 – BROKEN TREATED SEWAGE MAIN. A broken treated sewage main on an easement of Serenity Cove residential lakes estate in Helensvale Cr. OWEN-JONES Division 2, bordering Coombabah Creek, released huge volumes of ‘C’ grade treated water into the Ramsar internationally protected Coombabah catchment and designated fish habitat. The leak remained undetected for up to three years. The poor quality of this water means that it also contains high levels of prescription and illicit drugs and not to be released into the catchment. The main is privately owned by a local Golf Club and used for irrigation. The incident was discovered by a local resident and reported to DES, which instructed GCCC to take immediate action. The main was repaired by the owners. However, several requests for GCCC Waste and Water to conduct comprehensive recreational water tests across the catchment were denied, claiming insufficient reason. I would have thought serious resident concern would be sufficient.

CASE #2- NEGLECTED TREATED WATER INSPECTION/ MAINTENANCE PIT. A two metre deep concrete inspection and maintenance pit was discovered by a resident close to the location of the broken main on the easement of Serenity Lakes Estate (Division 2) approx two months following the above event. The heavy metal cover which is normally padlocked was loose revealing large tree roots filling the void and electrical wiring corroded and exposed. The incident was reported to GCCC W&W and the owners (private golf club) notified. A request was made of GCCC Waste and Water to outline the governance measures in place to ensure and enforce regular inspections and maintenance by private owners of treated water infrastructure.

RESOLUTION #1: Wed, December 18, 2019 and after some delay GCCC Waste and Water confirmed that “The City will condition the requirements for infrastructure like this through the approval process – all approvals can be seen through PD online. Also everyone is subject to the general Environmental Duty requirements from the State. If there is wilful Environmental harm then DES has the powers to prosecute those responsible.” THAT MEANS that until now, permission has been granted to own and install this infrastructure with no requirements to manage or maintain it.

RESOLUTION #2: Wed, December 18, 2019. Received at the same time from GCCC Waste and Water…”Please note that The City is not approving any more private recycled water mains at this time”. They have still not stated what future measure will be taken to conduct inspections of existing like infrastructure by either the owners or GCCC. I will continue to follow up in the new year.

[EDIT – 18 Nov, 2023. ‘Mayor’ Tom Tate is now driving the insidious Agenda 21/30 ‘Sustainability’ objectives on behalf of the treacherous United Nations/World Economic Forum “You will own nothing and you will be happy” WEF Chairman Klaus Schwab.]
