Blind or what?

 

Your report on the clearing at 18 Kahibah Rd states that "bracken underscrub and the principle trees remain on site" requires further investigation.

Am attaching Photos that clearly show a bare earth clearing (some of which is outside the property boundary of 18 Kahibah Rd) and slap bang up against significant vegetation that has been roped of by council staff as it is critical vegetation for the regeneration of this much degraded creek.

It is worth noting that the roped of areas are so because council has an obligation/license under the Environment Protection & Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 to restore the creek and provide compensatory planting because of clearing for flood prevention

Note also no sediment control fencing.

In light of these pictures how can council staff claim that bracken underscrub remains on site?

Are they blind or is this a deliberate attempt to mislead the Director and Cr. Latella.? I also have photo that shows mature cheese trees that were completely removed.

Perhaps a visit to the site would be helpful for your reference.
