Kristina Keneally, NSW Minister for Planning, are you listening?
Monday night's high tide produced the third consecutive night of flooding in many parts of Yamba.
And, it's no surprise!
If Minister Keneally cares to ask the residents of the flooded areas what they think about their recent experiences she'll be told that the flooding was exacerbated by developments that have seen low-lying wet land areas filled by developers.
If proposals for further development in West Yamba, which are currently on the Minister's table, get the nod prospects for local residents are indeed very grim.

Hi,
Great post....
There's a website, called:

It has some interesting things that are almost as interesting as this blog's stuff! I think you'd like it.
Thanks for the good post!

Yeah, I wasn't impressed to find flood water coming into my street either and like others blame the lack of any realistic urban planning for Yamba.
As the water flows so does my vote!
North Coast residents might like to look at what is likely to happen if ocean levels rise at
