On behalf of Friends of Glebe Wetlands Authority received |
Face to Face |
I will address key points raised in the staff report to Council and advocate for the protection of the long established roosting habitat of the Grey-headed flying-fox at the Glebe Wetlands in Bega by recommending that Councillors vote for Option 2: Defer consideration of the matter and request a separate report identifying any relevant Section 4.55 matters for consideration and draft reasons for refusal. I will recommend that Councillors seek that the separate report include a new Ecological Impact Assessment to provide the Council with accurate information about the actual extent of the flying-fox camp prior to making a determination. I will also recommend that the Council formally refer the matter to the Federal Environment Minister according to the relevant provisions of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act (1999).
