Who makes the money from these ocean front lucrative properties?
Who allows it?

On the news last night there was a gathering of journalists at one of these properties, and then the Ch7 reporter said .. "Ah .. the owner has just arrived".

Obviously the landlord.

No!

Stop it!

I cannot help but shake my head at the people who lost their homes in that storm -- those parked on the shoreline. I would not laugh at stories about loss of life or injuries sustained. However, if you are going to build a home on the shore, at least get some protection from high tides.

Have a look at where the waves have scoured away the sea-front to show nothing but wet sand under the front of the houses. No underpinning foundation pylons at all. I feel 100% sure this wasn't legal at the time those houses were built.

There's no way a council or independent Building Inspector would have given their approval to the plans. Zero.

Brown paper envelopes. Hush-money.

No!

Stop posting nonsense!

Please!

rubbish ... that was a raised house and verandah that someone later closed off. You can see the metal pole between the two wood frames put up purely to nail the cladding on. The metal pole would be the structural support for the house, not the timber frame.

No one is immune to the effects of climate change. Even the richies with all of their wealth cannot avoid it !!

It is notable that just ONE of these houses carried solar panels
Apparently climate change is a joke - until it affects "me"

I see where you are coming from, but there are often good reasons why solar panels can't be installed. Overshadowing from trees and nearby buildings or wrong orientation of the roof line for example. When we lived in Sydney we attempted to get solar panels installed, but were told that due to the large number of trees near our home they would not be effective. The council would not let us remove or even trim back the trees because all mature trees were under a preservation order........very ironic. Wink

I just looked at the size of that swimming pool some idiot had put in.. the size of the hole would have created a huge problem...

I agree councils need to hold some responsibility for what they allow people to do..as far as i know an in ground pool need council permission...

it would damage the wall just putting in sewage pipes..all the way along..

I'm waiting to hear of a Class Action being arranged by these home-owners against the council, the planners, the Building Inspectors, the concreters, the building company, the builder's insurers, the subcontractors, the geologist, and a whole host of others.

Maybe even the local imam. Cool

Heads should roll.

Why would you build a pool when you have a beach in your backyard.

The Council wanted to build a seawall years ago they didn't after dim witted leftists protested.

The Council knew there was a problem and failed to act because dim wits protested, if they could find each and every one of these dim wits I would be happy for them to be sued otherwise I reckon the Council will wear it.

I doubt it was dim wit leftists, but cashed up property owners doing the protesting against the sea wall.

The council was negligent on a number of causes.

Ratepayers will come up with the cash.

Herb, not even the landlord makes money, yeah, sure, getting rent money, paying tax as it's an income, and paying rates, and what would the exorbitant rates be there? So i forgot to add, the tax dept also get money from this/these (rented) property/ies. Now, the 'owner/s' being landlords or occupants, will make no money, not now. Re: the opposition to a wall being put up, it should have been a lawful requirement and no such opposing a protective barrier, well, whoever opposed it is now liable.
