I benefit from swimming in CTB in Manly so I know how valuable a marine reserve is. Had the pleasure this morning of sighting two cuttlefish. It's so good for your wellbeing in a stressful life.
I love the ocean and I was excited to see the new show "Ocean" by David Attenborough. It was HARD to watch, but I'm so grateful for his work to help us understand the devastation going on through sea dredging!! I was sobbing with grief for the destruction of already struggling reefs and ecosystems and the waste of precious ocean life. We MUST save the oceans which will ultimately save ourselves. Balance must be achieved in all things. PLEASE HELP!
This has gone on for long enough please stop and protect Wamberal beach my family have lived in area for over 60 years and the beach like any beach naturally changes all the time with tides, big swell and weather patterns . The sand constantly comes in and out with the ocean. A Seawall is NOT the solution it will NOT work!! It will be dangerous and a huge Hazard!!
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.
I 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.
After 45 years having Lake Conjola as our family holiday caravan and then cabin in Deepwater Resort the number of floods that could have been avoided is disheartened to say the least. The amount of waste and contents from homes, caravans and cabins surrounding the lake that go into land fill after each flooding event is alarming! Surely that alone is crucial reason to keep the lake from flooding at all costs, whether that be a permanent opening or at least earlier interventions to ensure opening when flooding is a real possibility!
