Site Report

Royce gave a report on discussion with National Parks regarding the Watagans sites. They have agreed to approve the new NE and W launches at Murrells in exchange for giving up the Heaton Park and NE Heaton Sites. A motion was carried in favour of pursuing approval for the 2 new sites, with the possibility of exchanging 2 currents sites. Ward strongly opposed the motion. Suggestions were raised of exchanging Taylors Launch instead of NE Heaton. Royce is to follow up with National Parks regarding this.

A motion was carried to create a signage committee with John Boy, Adriaan and Tony volunteering.
