Hi all,



I just wanted to let everyone know of a development proposal in the Bundaberg 
council for an area adjoining Gengers road at Moore park. Local birders know 
this great location well and it is home to an amazing variety of birds some 
listed as vulnerable such as the Black breasted Button Quail. Coxen’s 
Fig-Parrot (very endangered) has also been recorded in the area. Other birds 
found here include  Superb Fruit-Dove, Barred Cuckoo-Shrike, White-eared 
Monarchs,Topknot Pigeons, Satin Flycatchers, Large-tailed Nightjars and 
Rose-crowned Fruit-Doves,

It is hoped that with enough voicing of opinion to the council the proposal 
will be rejected.

Unfortunately there are some nearby landholders that hold aspirations of 
developing their land so one would hope that a rejection of the current 
proposal would extinguish any further re-deveopment of this critical area and 
surrounds.



Susannah
