Town planning and building departments

We look to our civic leaders for direction and support.
They put the laws and bi laws in place to protect us from harm and ourselves.
Well what have been the results.

This is just one and shows the problem dramatically and we accept this as the normal or you may like this.


This could be any city in the world after severe storms.
If Sydney Australia was hit with a severe weather system the results would be the same.
The housing industry needs  to be looked world wide with the structures they build being able to stand up to severe winds and rain.
Now we come to planning and development for our new buildings we build the same after fire or flood.
Building for such events is easy and it needs a change in the process.
 In Wollongong (the city of innervation) my proposals were knocked back because they were too radicle.  Yes radicle steel minute frame and concrete partially underground.
In severe weather our homes do not stand a chance.
Our civic leaders have failed us and so have our governments.
The scene above will happen again as we found our in Nowra a year ago but we were lucky when a hurricane hit but it missed the suburbs.
