Greens in golf course protest
“IT IS irrational to expect people to save water…while allowing big businesses to waste our water resources.”
Such was the reasoning of the President of the Federation of Environmentalist Organisations of Cyprus, Christos Theodorou.
The Federation protested yesterday against the government’s continued insistence on examining golf course construction studies.
The protesters gathered outside the Environmental Services, where the Committee for the Assessment of Environmental Impact met to look at the environmental effects of a possible new golf course in the Tersefanou area.
According to Theodorou, studies for golf courses should no longer be looked into for two reasons.
One is the suggestion by a Ministerial Committee to reverse the current golf course policy which favours their construction.
Another is the government’s publicly-aired stance to freeze procedures which would grant licences for the extension and/or creation of fairways.
“It is at best an inconsistency on behalf of the government, but also a contradiction to allow procedures like this to continue after they have publicly expressed their intention to re-orientate golf policy,” Theodorou said.
He explained that, “the vast residential developments which accompany golf courses mean a waste of depleting resources, such as non-renewable water and environmental sources.”
He added that one would expect that, “given the water problem as well as other negative repercussions which golf courses carry, that the change in golf course policy would have been put into effect at once.”
