How hard is it to take advantage of a opportunity ?

Our Council have a history of finding it hard to make decisions . They let developers tell them what to do ( Barham River ) , they let State government tell them where to shift libraries and schools  , they let their planners tell them what to do with our library,   and when they have the opportunity to think about road planning,  they squib it altogether .

Now we hear that the  lake Bypass will be too expensive ."Everything is so expensive , we better not do anything ", or wait till the govt has an idea and a budget and we will go along with that! That's easy .
 Since when has the opportunity of a lifetime been too expensive . I wonder if we will really get all the facts and be allowed to deal with competence and planning for a project that could really change the future of Colac and Colac's flooded swamp . From an unpredictable quagmire,  to a place to stay and play .
The only way to really deal with our lake is to really deal with it . Suddenly we have road talk and fixing the lake is not even linked to it  .I hope that dealing with complexity is not too hard for our current Councillors - at least they need to come out and state what really worries them -maybe we can help them ? Maybe they need to share the challenges  like they have seldom done before !  maybe the people might even get a chance to respond this time ? Its possible -isn't it ; anything is possible in Colac .
