LACA Koala sightings
The koala sightings in the map shown (click to enlarge) 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 historical 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.

Resident confronts Energex on powerline route

The face of progress presented itself at Don Hungerford's Maroochydore Road property yesterday but did not have much to say.
Mr Hungerford, embroiled in a dispute with Energex, which wants to run high voltage transmission lines across his strawberry fields, past his riding stables and within 50 metres of two rental properties, did not refuse entry to two property management division employees who arrived at 8am to inspect their preferred route.
But nor would he give his consent. Surrounded by angry parents, pony club members and other similarly affected property owners, Mr Hungerford exercised his right to put a series of questions relating to the health impacts of the power line to the Energex representatives.
One of those men was a surprisingly quietly spoken and unthreatening Gavin Smith, who had signed the letter the company sent to Mr Hungerford on July 8 threatening police action or a Supreme Court injunction if he refused them entry. Mr Hungerford, who has farmed the property for the past 40 years, had already visited the sergeant of police in Maroochydore for advice about his legal rights and was careful in his use of words.
"You are here to enforce your will,'' he declared.
"I will not obstruct you and I am not obstructing you. Why ask my permission when you have already told me you don't need it. I'm not going to give my permission for you to come on to my property and start something that will threaten the health of these kids and my workers.''
A barely audible and clearly uncomfortable Mr Smith again asked permission to enter the property.
"I don't consent but I won't obstruct you,'' Mr Hungerford repeated.
And with that, instead of exercising the right granted by the Acquisition of Land Act and simply entering the property, the agents of the infrastructure roll out needed to power the region's future turned on their heel and retreated to their vehicles.
Energex said its officers chose not to enter because they believed they may have been in breach of trespass.
"While Energex would prefer not to take this matter to the courts we are still considering our next course of action,'' a spokesperson said, acknowledging they were not blocked from entry.
