In response to Monday's coverage (Mercury, October 29) of the Save Killalea barbecue.
The Save Killalea Alliance was happy with the organisation and community turnout into the hundreds, for the barbecue on Sunday, October 28.
It showed a significant and continuing visual opposition to proposed inappropriate development for the park.
Although not all groups were able to wear identifiable T-shirts for the day, the diversity of support was overwhelmingly apparent.
It included a welcome and Aboriginal ceremonial dancing, with community groups including environmental activists, surfers, Aboriginal representatives, as well as unions, parliamentarians, and councillors from Kiama, Wollongong and Shellharbour councils.
The Save Killalea Alliance, with the overwhelming support of the community, will continue to peacefully oppose the significant and inappropriate development for Killalea State Park.
We also look forward to working with Howard Jones (Deputy Mayor of Kiama council) to make a presentation to the Local Government Association that was made possible through his successful motion to it.
