Local bush is threatened
As Sue Ellis points out (Peninsula News, Edition 235: Environment Plan fails to protect environment), changes in Gosford Council's draft Local Environment Plan threaten the survival of local bushland, including Blackwall Mountain and Mt Ettalong.
The draft LEP puts these sites into new planning zones that remove their legal protection from future development.
Can I urge everyone who values the beautiful natural environment we have here on the Peninsula to write to Gosford Council expressing their concern at this re-zoning?
There is a draft letter you can copy and email on the Peninsula Environment Group website at www.peg.org.au.
