next week will be 6 weeks since it started , the whole job was supposed to take 6 weeks and they haven't finished the right hand side , as usual rocky council has let it get out of control , lots and lots of people that use that ramp are getting more and more pissed of , every time you go down there slack arse work force are sitting in the sea container having a brew up and have their ute parked in the disabled parking spot , not realy their fault I suppose if our local council is letting them get away with it no wonder out rates went up wopping 7&

whoa..
You mean to tell me, that theres a government funded construction project, that might not finish in time?? holey shitballs!
Get over it pete. Remember the 2 rocks ramp bullshit 2 years ago. Took them nearly 8 months to get that opened again, which was 6 months more than it shouldve.

TR ramp was a complete F--up. Had to re-do the laying of the ramp concrete as they did it wrong the first time.
All finished now and i think it is a discrace. What they have now would have been perfect 20 years ago.
Sometimes when the water is quiet, you can hear the fish laughing at you !

I dont think how long the jetty is taking has anything to do with the rates going up. They would have a tendered price and it would stay the same no matter how long it takes. There not having a brew every time you go there. At least everyone will have a nice new ramp to use in the christmas holidays. Just my two cents worth.
And I hope you stick to your promise.

rates will surely come down at the expense of the windsurfers.

Apparently the beach
Apparently the beach launching ramp between Donald Drive and June Road is on the agenda for an 'upgrade' - now that has me REALLY worried.
From what I understand the council got a $90,000 grant just to decide what to do there - 90 grand???
