CEC fined $300 for run off

This information from Cairns City Council gives us more insight into the main cause of the possible collapse of CEC.

Council have been brutal in their determination of the fine amount. CEC are probably very glad they did not get a parking ticket as well, as it would have doubled the amount they have to come up with. Possibly we may see another share float to cover it.

Hello Peter,

How are you?

I am unaware of any fines against CEC Group for sediment run-off [at False Cape], however, some people have said to me that they were fined.

Can you clarify this with me and tell me how much CEC Group have been fined if they have?

Thanks Peter and have a nice day.

Rgds,
Steven Nowakowski

Hello Peter,

Can you please respond to this request below. I have phoned the council four times already about this issue and I am not getting any answers. In fact I cannot reach any of you.! Can we please have an open and transparent council and can you please answer the below question. Were CEC Group fined for allowing sediment run-off from the False Cape site. A 'yes' or 'no' is sufficient and a dollar amount would be helpful.

Fran, perhaps you can help me here.?

Thanking You,
Steven

Steve I believe I have shown to you in recent time my preparedness to provide open communication to you on this matter.

I try to give all the emails I receive a similar standard of reply but as I receive on average at least 50-60 a day I am not going to respond to multiple questions about the same topic, when I have other aspects of my job to perform away from my computer.

I was aware you had made contact with other officers yesterday and was of the view that a response had been provided. If such was not the case, let me advise that CEC were fined under the EPP water and the amount was $300.

Peter

Thank You Peter,

I understand you have a stressful job and you may have to reply to 50-60 emails a day. I'm sorry to have added to that stress by sending you four emails in the whole of your career at Cairns City Council.

I'll try not to hassle you again.

Kind Regards,
Steven Nowakowski
