Comment on Letter Wizard by Rusty Geller

I am alarmed at how a developer can go into a rural neighbourhood and blatantly disregard the local amenities and try to force a high denisty development on them. And I am doubly alarmed when local and State Governments allow this to happen. There are social and environmental concerns that have been ignored, and that is a dangerous precedent.

Great website!!!

However, I have tried to generate the letter x 2, once from home and once from elsewhere and it hasn’t worked…

Comment on ‘Aged care’ issue used to deceive residents by Wattle Grove Vision

You ask a good question Susan. We cannot say with 100% certainly who paid for the postage and delivery of the letters by Mr Giardina.
It certainly wasn’t a cheap operation considering these residents received self addressed envelopes and submission forms to fill in.

With regards to this mailing of 10,000 pamphlets by J. Giardina – who paid for this? This would not have been a cheap operation and where did he get the addresses from if he is an ‘ex’ councilor.

Mark, I think you would have to concede that while 3.4 ha is grassed polo field that what is there now is a lot more like wild forrest and a habitat for wild creatures than 220 group houses which, if my information is correct, will all be disposing of their sewage into the groundwater and creating 650 car movements a day. Apart from that point the rezoning is the thin edge of the wedge and if you don’t believe me, ask Dick Lovegrove

Comment on A Sign of Fair Process? by Sorcha

In all fairness, I didn’t think the Shire has the resources to respond to graffiti incidents much faster than a few weeks….?

I’m surprised your group hasn’t created a sign to place over this one, to at least alert people to the deadline. Perhaps it’s worth a go?

As this area is used on a daily basis by cockatoos (are there red-tails, and Carnaby’s?) I would think that the proponent is obliged to refer the proposed devt to the Federal Govt under the EPBC Act. If the proponent has not done this, then report that to the Dept of Environment, Water. (Fed Govt) Their investigation Branch will look into it and the proponent will have to refer the proposal, I think.

There’s a big difference between 3.4 hectares of cleared polo-field on a 15.1 hectare site that does currently have flora, fauna and natural waterways to having 230 red roofs and vast expanses of bitumen.

Bare in mind the comment was a made by a 5 year old child who has grown up in a dense urban area. From this little girls perspective properties with trees and native animals occur as a ‘wild forest’.

But you have overlooked a very important point Mark. By approving this rezoning and development it sets a precedent for other dense urban developments that consequently result in more land clearing and habitat destruction. Do you want all of the greenbelt that protects the Darling Range destroyed? The line has to be drawn somewhere.
