24.01.2022 The Petition to Kingborough Council will be tabled at the Council meeting on Monday night 22 May. Likely not to result in discussion, with discussion deferred until 13 June. Still probably worth attending to show them we mean business.

23.01.2022 If only Kingborough Council would recognize the truth about jet skis!

22.01.2022 Gary Arnold General Manager of Kingborough Council: - Why did you issue a jet ski tour business with a permit to launch jet skis at Coningham Beach when there a...re no boat launching facilities at Coningham Beach? - Why did you issue this business with this permit for an ongoing period? - Why have you not stipulated a fee under this permit for this business to use the beach? - What consideration did you make of public amenity and the saftey of other beach users before you issued this permit?

22.01.2022 Council's own the seabed. How about that Kingborough Council? I guess you still think you have no role in managing jet skis in the Environmental Management Zone established under your own interim planning scheme? The high court of Australia disagrees with your position that you have no role managing business activities in the marine zone.

20.01.2022 Council protests too much! Look at the notice they published in the Cygnet and Channel Classifieds today. If you want to understand why Council is protesting check out the update published this evening on the petition at: nojetski.org

20.01.2022 We started a new petition yesterday to Kingborough Council. Kingborough Council Guidelines for petitions only allow for hardcopy, signed petitions. If you want to sign please message us so we can arrange a time for you to sign. Plan to be at Coningham Beach with the petition this weekend.

19.01.2022 We lodged our Petition with Kingborough Council on Friday 11 May. The Petition is likely to be discussed by Council on 13 June. At that meeting members of the public will be able to ask questions. I plan to attend, with questions ready! I hope that many of you may be able to join me. Further updates to come.

11.01.2022 Kingborough Council: When legal questions are raised it is best to seek legal advice rather than only offering opinions.

11.01.2022 Tonight Kingborough Council voted against taking action to stop jet ski tours operating at Coningham Beach. Such a shame that they refuse to really analyse the advice that their staff are providing them. Tonight Council were told that the home based business operation is not subservient to the jet ski tours operating from Coningham Beach. They were also told it was MaST not Council that are the regulators. Once again they misconstrued the legislation and did not realize the power that they have to overturn the approvals the GM of Council issued.

09.01.2022 Kingborough Council will be considering our petition against the approvals they have issued for a jet ski tour business to operate from Coningham Beach on Tuesday 13 June. Come along to the Council meeting on Tuesday night and show your opposition to the continued use of Coningham Beach by this business.
