A work in progress Sat, 04 Feb 2012 01:14:12 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Pat & Steph Nield http://middletonbeachgroup.com/2010/01/07/middleton-beach-users-what-do-you-want/#comment-8 Tue, 12 Jan 2010 04:52:33 +0000 http://middletonbeachgroup.com/?p=82#comment-8 Middleton Beach is a naturally prestine and beautiful place and needs to be preserved without too much development, to maintain this character.
The residents have chosen Middleton Beach to live, and many have come from the hinterland and Perth to retire. Yet, other families come here for a holiday to enjoy the climate and natural fascilities that Middleton Beach has, taking advantage of commercial accommodation (caravan park, motels and b and b’s).
To some extent, residents and holiday makers and tourists may have differing priorities and some compromise may be required.

We, as concerned citizens of Middleton Beach, see the need for a new hotel, where the Esplanade Hotel was, as far and away the main priority for the improvement of the Middleton Beach precinct, with other issues falling into relative insignificance. The balance of the vacant site also is in need of development, with retail outlets and some accommodation. Of course, the owners of the vacant land will now only do the development if it can be shown to be sufficiently profitable. (It is a bit late for the governing body to make it a mandatory condition once the demolition has taken place).

We are aiming for 500 responses!
