Public Works Criticizes Harbours Department Over Merimbula Wharf
In a Hansard speech, Mr. W. EL. Wood attacks the Harbours and Rivers Department for mishandling Merimbula wharf funding and delays. He cites £7000 spent with only £1500 needed, rail access denial, and a forthcoming bridge cost of about £2000, urging public use of the wharf to reduce freight costs for local wool and perishables. The debate touches on Illawarra Wharf control, private vs public trade, and shed funding ethics at Tathra.
