As an Embo resident who works with local young people from primary age to upper teens I know how vital it is for them to see possibilities of employment, and a future, in their own locale. More than ever with the economic effects of Covid on our small community, hope and a future is essential for the next generation.

I work in the outdoors with young people and am passionate about the outdoors, nature and the environment. If I felt this proposal was detrimental to our local environment I certainly would not support it. However having reviewed the plans and the environmental protections put forward I fully endorse this campaign as positive for our community and our next generation and wholeheartedly support and welcome this community approach to get our golf course underway.
