Questions are being raised on Waverley Council's responsibility for safeguarding Bondi Beach. Recent report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has envisaged about sea level rise by up to 80 centimeters by 2100.

Another piece of research has predicted withdrawal in Bondi beach by 2050 by 20 metres. In fact, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has raised questions on the council.

But it seems that mayor Sally Betts is not going to gulp down the allegations so easily. It has reverted back by saying that they are well aware of their duties and in fact are much ahead in the game.

"We've done risk assessments of all our cliffs and beaches, changed development rules and conducted comprehensive community consultation . and, most importantly, we've made long-term plans to address environmental issues", affirmed Betts.

Betts has not denied the predictions about rise in sea level. With this, he has remained firm by saying that they have got no reports indicating about receding level of Bondi beach.

For now, there is no issue that should trouble people. But if time will demand change in sea walls then they will do the same. Liberal councillor Leon Goltsman has affirmed that authorities concerned should be concerned about immediate problems like smoking and drinking and not the ones that is predicted to take place in 100 years.
