Current Issues
Fauna Crossings
Written by Brian   
We are campaigning for fauna crossings for the unique urban mob of over 1300 kangaroos at Wacol, on the new Wolston Road (adjacent to Pooh Corner) and Wacol Station Road.
 
Prison Land
Written by Brian   
Planning of final use of 200 ha of State-owned prison land at Wacol.  CDEA is working with the community to retain open access to the area for native wildlife and the general public, and to keep an ecological corridor across the site, including access to rivers and creeks.
 
Metroplex Development
Written by Brian   
the Metroplex Development Proposal (ex Sanananda Barracks, Wacol).  The court appeal by Metroplex was dismissed on 11 November 2009.  CDEA was a co-respondent by election in a court case in the Planning and Environment Court, and is still working to protect the ecological and biodiversity values of this valuable bushland area.  As a minimum, we are working to save 50% of the hollow bearing trees plus the endangered Regional ecosystem areas and ecological corridors.

The Latest News

DandelionOur most recent meeting was held on Thursday 24 May at the Mount Ommaney Library

 

TOPIC - Wacol weed survey of important ecosystems

 

Brisbane City Council, through funding provided by the Wipe out Weeds program, commissioned Technigro to conduct a thorough weed survey at Pooh Corner & Wacol bushland conservation reserves & surrounding creek environs in May - June 2011. By conducting this weed survey, a very detailed & scientific account of the current weed issues in these conservation areas has been mapped & delivered. This data can now be used as a basis with which to prioritise any weed management activities & develop management plans, while taking into consideration the level of funds available for these activities.

GUEST SPEAKER - Rob Mollison

Rob Mollison, Brisbane City Council's Technical Officer Natural Environment, discussed the very interesting findings and the implementation of this survey.

If you would like to be on the mailing list for notices of future talks, please contact our secretary.
