•     In November 2006 the Kenmore Baptist Church (KBC) had their site (at the roundabout at 17 Mile Rocks Road and Jennifer St) almost completely cleared of vegetation other than a few trees and the Waterway Corridor. The cleared vegetation was classified by BCC as Valued Urban Vegetation and as such was protected. The current KBC proposals make no effort to repair the damage done in the clearing despite being asked to by BCC in their letter of 9 January 2008.   Download and sign the submission objecting to the KBC building proposal.   (Note, the fax number in the original document was incorrect.  It has now been corrected.  Late submissions will be acceppted up to two weeks after the nominated closing date).

• At present the West Centenary Junior League Football Club occupies approximately 10 hectares adjacent to the Centenary Highway. Members of our organisation were told by a representative of Main Roads that the area of the replacement facility would be approximately 7 hectares. However the plans posted on the BCC website show an area of 17.4 hectares is proposed.   In August 2006, the then Premier, Peter Beattie, approved a plan for the ‘Westgate’ area of State-owned
  land. It included approximately 200 hectares for public recreation and open space. By fencing off the
  proposed sports field facility, this land will no longer be available to the kangaroos and other wildlife.  Read our submission seeking modification to the proposal.  (26Kb .pdf)
