Greetings all: Some of you will have seen the
article in Times 2 in the Canberra Times today on woodland birds, particularly
about the impacts from the proposed development in the Molonglo Valley
and birds of prey. As Im aware that a number of COG and list
members are interested in this particular issue, Im attaching the
submission which COG has sent to the ACT Planning and Land Authority, in
response to their Structure Planning Study - some quotes from that submission
were in the Canberra Times article today. We also plan to publish the
submission or relevant parts in the next Ganggang Newsletter which will be
February 2006, to better inform members about COGs view/position. For
those who might want to read more, the submission sent by the Conservation
Council on Molonglo Valley development which I contributed to with my
CC hat on, is available on their website - look under latest news:
cheers
Jenny
