Save Bidjigal Reserve

We recently received a couple of emails of support from people involved in Pollok Park‘s successful fight against a Go Ape development.

From Lisa:

Hey Campaigners!
I just wanted to send you a message of solidarity from Glasgow, Scotland, where I’m sure you will know, we recently successfully managed to prevent a Go-Ape development in Pollok Park. Best of luck with fighting the project and the reams of red tape I am sure your elected members and officials will wrap themselves in.
It can be done and you can win!

And from Scott:

Good luck guys and gals.
We had to fight for two years to save our local Pollok Park in Glasgow.
Hope you can do the same.

On 6 October 2009, Council sent out notes taken at the Go Ape Conciliation Conference held on 7 September.  We’re providing them here for anyone who wasn’t at the conference or didn’t get a copy.

The accompanying letter from Cameron McKenzie (Group Manager – Environment and Planning for The Hills Shire Council) invites you to contact Adam Dean of Council’s Environment and Planning Services on 9843 0352 should you have any enquiries.

Feel free to leave comments here too!

The Nature Conservation Council of NSW has written to The Hills Shire Council to express its “significant concerns” at the proposed Go Ape development in Bidjigal Reserve. The letter can be seen here.

The NCC is also urging people to attend the Conciliation Conference on Monday, 7 September.
