I feel it is immoral that big business gets an inroad to approvals and whilst area is of significance and no doubt potential for tourist $$$$. Do we want to be another Gold Coast ?!?! We are all guardians of this planet and should not expose such a sensitive area to the impacts upon the very environment they want to promote. Governments should not be winding back legislation set in perpetuity for short term gains. The Northern Inter Urban Break should be jealously guarded for perpetuity, ie hands off development - when it’s gone it’s gone. Protect the natural environment please.
Dianne supported: Protect Pumicestone Passage and the Greenbelt – Assessment under environment laws criticalI wish to address the subject of the greenbelt between Brisband and the Sunshine Coast, particularly the applications for large-scale intensive and impactful developments at 1807 and 1641 Roys Road, Coochin Creek, Sunshine Coast, Queensland.
These sites are located next to the ecologically significant Pumicestone Passage, a Ramsar-listed wetland of international importance.
Neither development has been referred for review by the Federal Government (as required by law) and neither development is transparent to the community.
We, the people, are concerned that the Sunshine Coast Council and SARA’s serious and valid concerns regarding the significant change to the proposed areas, (being that of environmental impacts etc) are being overlooked and the Community concerns sidelined. I wholeheartedly agree with the petition which calls on the Minister to please~
not proceed with the proposed Ministerial Call-Ins
respect the authority of Sunshine Coast Council and SARA
protect Pumicestone Passage, its wildlife, and community’s voice.
alison supported: Protect Pumicestone Passage and the Greenbelt – Assessment under environment laws criticalI have a dog who has a tendency to eat things, the first time in saw her pull a chunk of this green plastic netting out of the ground I managed to get it off her and scold her harshly for her own protection. That piece alone would have been enough to cause a potentially deadly intestinal obstruction. Since then I have spent over twenty hours combing through my yard pulling little pieces up whenever I can. I have filled my residential garbage bin at least twice with this green netting and pieces of black plastic fabric ground cover left from the construction of my home over 15 years ago. These products pose not only a real and present danger to pets and wildlife but also are a wasteful use of limited petroleum reserves, and as they degrade under environmental conditions they form microplastics that end up in the air and water, threatening marine life and biodiversity, harming agro and maritime economic productivity, and as recent science has shown, decreasing the photosynthetic potential of photoautotrophes. Wasteful and actively harmful uses of plastics like this should be condemned and eradicated at every level and at any cost. There is no reason that biodegradable materials such as cotton, hemp, jute, manilla, or coconut coir should not be the standard application for erosion control measures that currently typically employ plastic fabrics or grids. Any increase in cost is far outweighed by the hidden costs of continuing current practices.
