If this account is factual then it seems there is no good deed that Clarence Valley Council is not prepared to punish.....
Clarence Valley Rate Payers, Residents & Business Owners 18 October 2014:
Clarence Valley Council issued this statement on 20 October 2014 but did not send it to North Coast Voices until after publication:
Clarence Valley Council environment, planning and community director, Des Schroder, said fining people was always a last resort and it was disappointing they needed to be issued on this occasion. He said council rangers and staff from State Government agencies had been called to the site a number of times and at all hours. “We have an obligation to take action to stop stock getting onto roadways – particularly highways – where they can pose a serious risk to the travelling public,” he said. He said council staff had spoken with the stock owner this morning and advised him that if he wanted to contest the fines he could do that through the State Debt Recovery Office and the courts.
