We in the Bega Valley have lost homes due to fires, rising rental house prices, home ownership is too expensive for most and holiday rentals have taken the place of residential rentals, and when people are trying to find ways to resolve these issues, council sets laws that make it impossible and keep people struggling! Would the members of council prefer people sleeping in their cars and under bridges? It seems so. Obviously too narrow minded to be open to new solutions and ways forward for people in the Bega Valley.
