COASTCARER | SEPTEMBER 2019

Zali Steggall MP regenerates the dunes for Landcare Week

Zali Steggall MP, the Federal member for Warringah, stepped out at Curl Curl Beach to support a community-planting event to mark Landcare Week, facilitated by Northern Beaches Council.

It came after a successful event at Wentworth NSW on 3 September to mark 30 Years since Bob Hawke launched the national Landcare movement in 1989.

And while planting local flora species to protect the biodiversity of the dunes, Ms Steggall praised the national Landcare movement for ‘countering a sense of environmental despondency.’

INSTEAD OF COMPLAINING, WE DECIDED TO TAKE ACTION

Last year concerns were raised with the local council over the eroding conditions of the dunes along Henley Beach. The council solution was to install a fence to prevent foot traffic from accessing them. Lisa Redman believed that there's a more sustainable solution, and she took action.
