There is approx 20,000 square metres of land situated between Rignold Street and Castle Circuit, Seaforth.The largest block is now FOR SALE. There is currently contracts out to overseas investors and developers.

THIS IS THE MISSING LINK TO CREATING A FORESHORE WALK THROUGH SEAFORTH.

The land is separated by conservation land that joins Garigal National Park. This land should be purchased and returned to the community for all to enjoy and wildlife to be given a fighting chance at survival. 

This is a thriving riparian zone that should be made a wildlife corridor. It is currently the wildlife corridor that connects existing corridors to Garigal National Park .Running through the middle of the land is a permanent water source that attracts and aids the survival of many animals. Currently there are wallabies, echidnas, powerful owls, lyrebirds, monitor lizards, water dragons, numerous species of small birds and insects such as a large variety of dragonflies. 

The Powerful Owl is listed as vulnerable in NSW and there is talk of changing the  lyrebird's status to threatened in light of the recent loss of habitats due the devastating fire season of last summer. The Seaforth Mint Bush is listed as critically endangered. The Angophora's  are a protected species.

The loss of hollow bearing trees is a key threatening process in determining  whether or not these vulnerable and threatened species will survive.  

Given the conservation status of this flora and fauna I am asking for this land be bought back to create a wildlife corridor to join the land that was saved behind Dalwood homes. At present the land is made up of two privately owned properties, one is owned by a Chinese consortium and the other is owned by an American family. Both parcels have derelict houses that are falling down, leaving shattered glass, asbestos and building rubble spread through the bush. One property has no street access and is only accessible by water. 

Thank you to all who have read this far and thank you in anticipation of your signatures helping to protect this very unique area.
