Hi Fiona and all
Here are some comments from Adrian Walker at Mission Beach (DA = development
application):
> Fiona has an excellent point which can be expanded. Developers will (and
are
> here) already arguing that in the wake of Larry, significant vegetation
has
> been trashed and in so having been, should allow them to override EPA
rules
> and regs. There are a couple of properties I know in MB where DA's have
been
> lodged, and are currently being clearfelled as part of the "clean-up"
> operation. Obviously EPA will have problems taking people to court for
these
> actions in light of what has happened, yet it seems to represent a greater
> problem than canefield burning - at least to some of us..........
> Maybe birding aus could look at this one - Winifred should provide some
> before and after evidence as a precedent - even if only in the form of
> aerial photography and actual DA's being presented etc.....?????
> Cheers from the WET tropics.......
Regards
Andrew
