Hello Everyone,

I need your help today to ring & write more letters to all the decision makers to take Action this World Environment Week. The situation is dire. Our Glossies are on the brink. Our fire trail that keeps our Community safe is about to be blocked forever endangering our lives. An impossibility to evacuate hundreds of Elderly from a cul-de-sac with one way out. Our decision makers have a duty of care. We need Minister Steven Miles, Minister Mark Ryan, Minister Tanya Plibersek, Minister Leanne Linard, Noosa CEO Larry Sengstock, Mayor Clare Stewart, Cr Frank Wilkie, Cr Amelia Lorentson, Cr Tom Wegener, Cr Joe Jurisevic, Cr Karen Finzel and Cr Brian Stockwell to overturn this decision to destroy Lot 9 Grasstree Court, Sunrise Beach, Queensland. We need to ask them if anyone they love was killed in a fire because the decision makers didn’t listen, how would they feel?

Thank-you everyone for your amazing support & for joining me on Monday at my peaceful protest. You are all so amazing. Lots of love Spencer & Mummy.

Please Copy us into your letters so we can keep a count, Thank-you.

To all recipients of this email

I am asking you all to take Action this world Environment Week. The Sunrise Glossies & Sunrise Beach Residents need your help to keep them all safe. They need you all to overturn this decision putting their lives first. You have a Duty of Care. Fire trails should not be blocked under any circumstances. This puts human lives at risk. This is unfair & unjust.

Thousands of Children from 5 schools & a day care all would need to be evacuated, along with the elderly from the Grasstree Court development which is on a cul-de-sac feeding into a one way system. The increase of the elderly population (102 beds Nursing Home & 303 beds Retirement village) "will unduly burden disaster management response and recovery capacity and capabilities,” as expressed by the planning officer when Council rejected the 2017 Nursing Home Development at Eenie Creek road. See related article in Noosa Today & on the Noosa Council website.  https://www.couriermail.com.au/news/queensland/noosa/aged-care-use-is-just-far-too-risky/news-story/86d8c614be470bfe0145b45c279662f1 & https://www.noosa.qld.gov.au/news/article/327/aged-care-facility-appeal-withdrawn

Offsets on a dump site for a threatened species is totally unacceptable & Noosa Council should have referred this to the State & Federal Environment Departments. We all know our Environment Laws are failing yet none of you are changing your practices to align with science & the recovery of the Glossy Black-Cockatoo or any other threatened species. You can’t wait around for the Environmental Laws to change otherwise your targets of No New Extinctions will be impossible to meet.

The Fussy Vulnerable EPBC & NCA listed Glossy Black-Cockatoos need Lot 9 Grasstree Court, Sunrise Beach for their survival. The ramifications from the loss of this habitat on the Glossies & other threatened species of Flora & Fauna in the neighbouring National Park have not been considered. I am asking you to overturn this decision or face the extinction of the Wallum Ecosystem & the irreplaceable threatened species that call this home.

I want you to ask yourself these questions below & think about Human Rights while you decide.
If you were a Child trying to protect something so important, how would you feel watching it be destroyed as you watched helplessly because the decision makers failed to act?
If anyone that you loved was killed in a fire because decision makers didn’t listen, how would you feel?

Thank-you
