Don't develop in endangered ecology

 

The revised development proposal for seniors living units on land owned by the Catholic church at the corner of Hillview St and Veron Rd, Woy Woy, is on display at Woy Woy library for public comment until June 16.

The development will destroy 5000 square metres of bush, which the Land and Environment Court said should be treated as Endangered Ecological Community, protected under the Threatened Species Act.

The Australian Conservation Foundation Central Coast branch believes such endangered ecological communities should not be developed.

Gosford Council should reject this proposal and negotiate with the owner to bring the land into public ownership.

We urge residents to lodge their objections on this occasion as they did for the previous proposal.

John Wiggin ACFCC president North Gosford
