The Queensland Department of Housing & Public Works (DHPW) has proposed clearing 5.4 hectares of bushland in the Belmont Koala Forest. We had a meeting with the Department on Thursday 7th February to discuss our concerns.
This forest totals over 550 ha of bushland, east of the Belmont Hills, of which 340 ha is under the stewardship of the State Government. These bushlands are critical habitat and form part of a vital fauna movement corridor. Read our article(includes maps and link to make a submission).
