Energex's Safe trees |
 |
 |
|
A lot of questions about the loss of trees have been asked of Energex, who say they will replant them!
Whilst the Energex statement that they will replant trees may be true, these replacements will be young trees.
The majestic old gumtrees that provide food and shelter for eagles, koalas and other fauna will be replaced with immature trees not able to provide the same food and shelter.
VETO was given the link below about "safe trees" from Energex.

Reporting your local Wildlife Fauna & Native Flora |
|
|
|
Energex have been conducting ecological surveys of the proposed route. They did not bother to survey ANY of the river area, which is a bit of a worry since it is designated on State and Local Planning documents as an important bioregional corridor.
(I guess if we were supposed to be looking for Paris Hilton, we COULD try just looking for her at the Marsden shops- but perhaps we'd have more luck if we looked in her actual habitat -Rodeo Drive in Hollywood.)
Logan Village and surrounds are known as significant koala habitat areas , and for other important native species of flora and fauna.
Please click on the a map for Koala sightings.
The koala sightings in the map shown have been reported to WILDNET (Department of Environment and Resource Management) by the community and other scientific experts, and are current to June 2009 and include historically observations as well. The koala population in the Mount Lindesay North Beaudesert area have NEVER been properly surveyed by any local council or by state government and these WILDNET sightings provide very valuable information for the local area when no other detailed studies have been undertaken
If you live on or near the proposed route , and can inform VETO and Energex about local species living on or passing through or near your place.
This will help us to ensure Energex take these ecological concerns into proper account in their decision making process.
