		The Council argument in support of the proposal is based on an assessment that a “significant number” of people who use the wharves are not residents (ie, ratepayers) of Pittwater.
		Council has claimed that it is prepared to “fund and/or support those wharves which provide a direct benefit specifically aimed at its ratepayers”, but it appears that if the facilities are also used by a ‘significant number” of non-ratepayers, then they are no longer Council responsibility.
		Pittwater residents are urged to write to local Councillors pointing out that many Pittwater ratepayers are boaters, that the wharves are used by locals, and they are an important part of the amenity of the area.
