Brookbent Road Development
Feb 28 2007, 8:06 AM EST
Just wanting to know the extent to which the development earmarked for the Brookbent Road area of Pallara / Willawong will impact the native bush / vegetation in that area?I have witnessed many species of birds and animals, such as nesting eagles, Kangaroos (grey), gliders, bandicoots, ring tail possum to name a few..I am also aware of Koala sightings and Quoll sightings in the area, although rare. To what, if any extent is the bush around this area protected from any sort of development? And,what consequences have been explored as far as the effect of major development in this area on the Oxley Creek rejuvination plan? 4 out of 6 found this valuable. Do you?

Hello Joee75,
Re your comments about the future of Paradise Wetland (Brookbent Road) development. The section of bushland you refer to between Oxley Creek and Blunder Creek is classified in the current City Plan as 'Conservation Area'. This classification should under normal circumstances provide adequate protection. But given that the Willawong Local Area plan states that this land should have stayed in the hands of the public it is difficult to have faith in the capacity of the City Plan to protect our natural bushland. The council is also currently undertaking a series of Neighbourhood plans. The Paradise Wetland Neighbourhood Plan will have some impact on this area. This might be of interest to you. I read an article in the South West News 21st where the lord mayor spoke about a Paradise Wetland proposal and asked for the local community to become involved and provide community input. For more information they advised contacting the call centre 3403 8888. Regards Greenfrog Do you find this valuable? |
