The National Trust of the ACT has commissioned a
survey/study of what Canberrans think of and want for Lake Burley
Griffin.
It is rather laborious (30 mins) online, but goes
through most of the frequently-used public areas round the lake & asks how
often the respondent uses them & what they think of the
facilities.
In every case there is the chance to 'tick'
views and nature. Wildlife is
mentioned only once specifically but if a whole flood of COG members were to
complete the survey using those terms, the National Trust might have more
ammunition for preventing the lakeshores being filled up with concrete
edifices which may make the National capital look more 'with-it' but which
would continue the destruction of Canberra's natural uniqueness.
