Many local residents have contacted Council regarding this matter and Council has responded. A concept design for a replacement boat ramp has been prepared, however Council is awaiting information from the Department of Primary Industries
regarding the erosion of the Pelican Foreshore before it can progress. The required advice from The Department of Primary Industries is expected
to be received by November 2016. At the community workshop to inform the preparation of a Local Adaptation Plan for Pelican and Blacksmiths, it was requested in a separate discussion that Council keep the community informed, and the Blacksmiths Post Office message board was suggested. A poster has since been put up in the Post Office with the latest information. Council will continue to keep the community informed of any updates.
