Sydney’s Bondi Beach considers privatization


(CNN) – Australia Australia’s most iconic beach is considering a plan that could lead to partial privatization.
Sydney’s Amalafi Beach Club has proposed the creation of the only rope, member-member section of the famous Bondi Beach.

A Wanverley Council representative, who oversees the area where Bondi is based, told CNN that the idea was originally put up in May and was rejected for a number of reasons, including concerns about mixing alcohol and swimming and not wanting to enter the high seashore. Season.

After that, Amalfi Beach Club tried again. His current proposal will turn a portion of Bondi into a members’ club only between February and May 2021. “The attachment will be made with the applicant after the assessment of the new proposal,” the representative said.

According to CNN Affiliate 9 News, the Amalfi Beach Club – named after Italy’s most popular area – wants to set up a beachfront cab, which will have to pay a reserve fee. Those who rent a cab will also be able to get food and drink.
Representatives of the project wrote in a petition posted on their Facebook page, “The Amalfi Beach Club is a commercial initiative to revitalize Bondi Beach, support local businesses and build community morale in the wake of the Colloid-19 crisis.”

Like many other destinations around the world, Australia has experienced the economic effects of the collapse of the tourism industry.

The Amalafi Beach Club petition notes that all of its cabas will be socially two meters away.

However, not everyone is a fan of the privatization proposal. Some opponents believe that parting the beach is only for people who can afford to pay for democracy.

“This is a highly discredited electorate and not a step away from the community proposal I have ever seen,” one commenter wrote below the petition.

“Our beaches and parks are public open spaces for everyone’s enjoyment,” a representative of the Worli Council wrote in a statement.
