Hi Birders,
As I recall, much of the Kogarah Golf Course in
southern Sydney NSW, was once a wetland that was largely reclaimed. Filling
wetlands to create golf courses has been a pre-occupation of local councils over
many decades.
Terrill, I would contact the Fisheries Dept to find
out what they know about the proposal because Fisheries would have to give
consent first for reclaimation of areas below Mean High Water. It would help if
some species, scheduled under the NSW Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995
as either "Endangered" or "Vulnerable" has been observed to use the
site.
