Our review of yet another attempt to justify the economics of the proposed boat ramp and breakwater development at Bastion Point has shown that it will not deliver a net benefit to the local economy. In-fact, it may just do the opposite and have an adverse impact on overall tourism to Mallacoota while also incurring significant annual maintenance costs.
The economic justification for the proposed development has been shown on repeated occasions to be lacking. Any purported economic benefits used to defend the currently proposed scale of breakwater and boat ramp need to be disregarded in the public debate. The forecasted economic benefits only serve to deflect debate away from options for a development that will meet all the desired objectives with fewer negative impacts.
