Hare Krishna

Proposed Hare Krishna TempleDespite strong community opposition, Brisbane City Council recently approved a Development Application from the Hare Krishna movement to build a temple, one of the biggest in Australia, on a site overlooking the beautiful Rocks Riverside Park.  It is due to be built in an area of bushland which was formerly protected from development, and hundreds of trees will be felled to make way for this inappropriate development.

The development proposes a temple, ashrams, a common room, administration rooms, food court and restaurant on the 9753sqm site overlooking the park.

CDEA has long been opposed to this development.  See the Channel 10 interview, broadcast on 18 May 2011 with Cr Matthew Burke, Shealagh Walker and Ed Parker.

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.
