Development brings Bruce to the bedroom
The clearing of hundreds of trees at 106 has created an amplified tune from the Bruce Highway trucks at night. When the westerlys blow, so do the trucks.
It's as if Bruce is right there in your bedroom.
What are we to think when our local council are unable to tell endangered vegetation species from weeds: I have offered him my photos and encourage him to look at the SCC website maps that show the original vegetation. Sadly, birdwing butterfly vine and many rare and endangered plants were here. And we have enough evidence to take this to the environment courts. Here is what Cr Hungerford tells me today: Council Officers investigated the site on 19 September 2011 and have advised me of the following:
The clearing being carried out is in accordance with Condition 20(d) of the REC10/0039 for declared plants under the Land Protection Act (Pest and Stock Route Management Act 2002). The area is to be protected by Statutory Covenant as required by the conditions of the REC10/0039 and be kept free of declared and environmental weeds. The clearing within the covenant areas was for camphor laurel trees that needed to be removed.
Thanks for all the great support team! Please click on this site often just so we get the count up to be the first thing that comes up with any search for Upper Rosemount Road.
What about forming the Rosemouont Environment Defenders? RED: which is the code on the DERM maps that indicates the most protected areas of bush, that include the area that has been assulted.
