You should expect services to be carried out with appropriate competency and skills, and completed to a reasonable standard.
For example, Jan had two painters provide quotes for some painting and wallpaper work. She chose her painter and the work was completed. Two weeks later she noticed bumps and lumps in the wallpaper, that she hadn’t noticed at the time the bill was paid.
With a faulty product, you can return it and ask for a repair, replacement or refund. But that’s not so easy with a service! But Jan’s story ended well, the painter came back and rectified the problem at no cost to Jan.

This sets out a range of coastal issues including coastal hazards for discussion. A series of public meetings will be held around the Peninsula in October.
This is all highly commendable but there is no cause for further delay in mapping coastal flooding hazard areas. The Govt required this work be done in 2010. Identify the hazards– then talk to the public. This is what most other coastal Councils are doing.
