Preservation of habitat for our flora and fauna is critical for their survival and must be given greater priority.

Lawrie Adamson (Wingham, 2021-10-17)

#406

I believe we have a responsibility to do what we can to preserve threatened native species such as the koala.

Susan Stott (Old Bar, 2021-10-18)

Our Koalas need saving from humans

Kerry Muller (Port Douglas, 2021-10-18)

Biodiversity is critical to our environment and natural resources (fauna and flora) so it is imperative we uphold the Mid Coast Council Biodiversity Framework

Lisa Sullivan (Diamond Beach, 2021-10-18)

Many of us don't appreciate the ecosystems that are present and how they affect us on many levels. All existing plants and animals interrelate with us and when a species or subspecies disappears it leaves a hole in the fabric of life. Not only that, what have koalas done to us that we should make them suffer and deprive them of their habitat?!

Marie McArdle (Monterey, 2021-10-18)

I am signing this in hope that it assists the aims of the petition to help in its endeavours because I do not trust the Authority to act in the habitat's best interests.

Brian Vincent (Diamond Beach, 2021-10-18)

This is important and council needs to consider

Dan Roberts (Firefly, 2021-10-18)

I live at Phillip Island and we still have a few koalas living wild and free. They are such a unique animal they deserve all the help they can get to live in their natural habitat

Council has not provided details of how or when it will fire clear a 14m wide strip on or near the remnant koala corridor or how it will maintain the biodiversity in this area.

Ian Turner (Taree, 2021-10-18)

#429

the residents of this area are concerned about developments that lead to bush being cleared and consequent loss of habitat and biodiversity. it would be ideal if MCC protects this corridor in its entirety.

Jennifer Allison (Wingham, 2021-10-18)

#432

Our koalas should be protected

Dee Godfrey (Budgeree, 2021-10-18)

#434

It is essential to maintain this corridor for the Koalas

Sharon Burdekin (Red Head 2439, 2021-10-18)

#437

I am concerned about the Koala Corridor being destroyed. Our koalas and other significant wildlife have been decimated by the natural disasters that have impacted our region recently. Further loss of habitat will almost certainly lead to local extinctions.

ROBERT Radford (RED HEAD, 2021-10-18)

#438

Littoral rainforest is supposed to be protected by law. Koalas are meant to be protected. There must be a better way to protect currently non- existent houses.

Pieta Laing (Black Head, 2021-10-18)

#439

Im signing because the animals and trees can't

Michael Moylan (Red jead, 2021-10-18)

#440

I stand in solidarity with MidCoast residents who want the rates they pay to reflect climate action and biodiversity appropriate to urban, residential and rural zones.

Dheera Smith (Mondrook, 2021-10-18)

#441

I care about our environment.

Judith Henshaw (Rainbow Flat, 2021-10-18)

#442

Protection of habitat for all native animals should preclude the building of houses in well known koala corridors, such as this one.

Helen Hannah (Taree, 2021-10-18)

#444

The wildlife corridor should be maintained and not destroyed.

David Sheridan (Forster, 2021-10-18)

#445

No responsible Australian should wish to take action, or even carry out a development, which will endanger Koalas or other vital wildlife, no matter how much profit might be involved.

Terry Stanton (Tinonee, 2021-10-18)

#450

Corridors connecting forested areas have been shown to be very important for wildlife. The feral grass species needs to be kept under control by the forest canopy. I used to be the initiator and co-ordinator for the Landcare Group at Hallidays Point.

Leave our Koalas alone.

Leona Matthews-Whitehouse (Glenthorne, 2021-10-18)

#453

Wee have lost all too many koalas and their habitats during the 2019-20 firestorms. Corridors are essential to their safe movement for nutrition and mating. Don't let hungry developers have their way!

Graham Barnes (Wingham, 2021-10-18)

#461

We don’t want to lose this incredible creature that is already a threatened species and all the other animals and plants that occupy this precious habitat.
I cant believe we are still having to sign petitions like this. Those in power are paid to ensure conservation of these increasingly rare and essential places. Why does the community have to do the job that Council bureaucrats and politicians are paid to do??

Lee Crennan (Green Point, 2021-10-19)

#462

Loss of Koala habitat without doubt is leading towards extinction for the Koala.
Mid Coast Council has made committments to "preserve, enhance and value" our natural eco-systems", and has to be held accountable.
The remnant Koala Corridor located between Maslin Court and Scarborough Circuit, Redhead has to be retained in tact and protected.

Graeme Macey (Smiths Lake, 2021-10-19)

#463

This corridor is rich in biodiversity and an important refuge for many wet scherophyll plant and animal species, including some threatened ones such as koalas. It is well loved and used recreationally by residents and visitors. Much of it has a healthy understory of low fire risk native plants including themeda, basket grass, native geranium, plectranthus, breynia and much more. Any disturbance to this healthy native vegetation would be detrimental. If Council want to reduce fire risk, they could consider assisting us with the control of siteria, which exists in a few previously disturbed areas of the corridor.

Alan Pursch (Hallidays Point, 2021-10-19)

#465

I'm signing because I am concerned that koalas are on a path to extinction. Why Council would even consider a haphazard burn without first studying the biodiversity of the area concerned is beyond me.

Kaye Matthews (Cobar, 2021-10-19)

#468

I disagree with you taking the homes of the Koalas. If this continues our beautiful Kialas will have no where to go and will die off.

Lynn Gill (KEW, 2021-10-19)

#469

I would like to see the Koala Corridor Preserved.

Nicole Cook (Gloucester, 2021-10-19)

#470

Our Koalas and other animals and plants there need protection.
This corridor is important habitat in an area that is under siege from too many developments already.

Jacqui Keats (Black Head, 2021-10-19)

#471

1. Biodiversity cannot sustain the myriad assaults on it. I expect that Council should do everything it can to protect our precious biodiversity.
2. The demonstrated long term community commitment to restoration should be supported and respected.

Sue Gould (Coomba Park, 2021-10-19)

#472

Koalas are in danger of extinction. We must preserve the habitat and corridors that are left.

Lynn Benn (Mulbring, 2021-10-19)

#474

I walk through this corridor quite often the bird life is abundant and it’s a very important space.

Alina Anker (Black Head, 2021-10-19)

#475

Our natural environment and animals should be protected!

Peter Warr (HALLIDAYS POINT, 2021-10-19)

#478

We need to keep the forests we have left, and allow recovery from the last bushfire disaster, before the next one occurs. The mor eforest removed, the sooner it will be, the more we lose.

Felicity Cahill (Drake, 2021-10-19)

#480

Koala “s need protection before it’s too late

Denise Donnelly (Greystones, 2021-10-19)

#481

If it’s important to my learned cousin, it’s important to me. Koalas matter.

Elizabeth Barrett (Cumbria, 2021-10-19)

#484

Given climate change and its impact we are already feeling, we should be preserving our native wildlife and their habitat. Council should recognize their responsibility in this regard and ensure that they honour their commitments.

Leanne George (Karaak Flat, 2021-10-19)

#486

we need to protect our environment and our beautiful Koalas

Lindy Stricker (Wallabi Point, 2021-10-19)

#487

So much was lost in bushfires, any remaining areas need to be protected

Kristy Mah (Bathurst, 2021-10-19)

#490

Koalas need habitat

Pam Sharp (Highfields, 2021-10-19)

#492

Koalas are listed as a vulnerable species. I do not want to see any more destruction of their habitat otherwise they will eventually be critically endangered. Sadly ,they may already be on the brink of that categorisation.

Christine Stanton (Tinonee, 2021-10-19)

#493

We need to save our koalas, they gave been devastated by bushfires and development. Surely being an Australian icon they deserved to be saved, building a koala corridor is such a sensible idea and being an ex resident I hope that you will approve this. .

Julia Lee (Newcastle, 2021-10-19)

#495

We need to protect koalas.

Tahlia Muller (Taree, 2021-10-20)

#501

This is extremely important remnant habitat that has been invested in by our local Landcare Group for decades. It is a historic agreement that would not be entertained today. Besides koalas there are likely to several other species that are dependent on prickly undergrowth for survival including small birds (see the Birds In Backyards commentary on the at risk status of small birds) and potentially phascogales, bandicoots squirrel gliders and others. A more creative and ecologically friendly approach needs to be found.

Kym Kilpatrick (Diamond Beach, 2021-10-20)

Bruz is a Koala Killer!

Bevan Sheens (Leonay, 2021-10-20)

#504

Whilst I realise and approve of development in this area it is also MORE important to protect and maintain existing bushland, both for amenity but primarily for our natural wildlife.

Christine Gould (Black Head, 2021-10-20)

#505

We need to save our koalas as they are a dying breed!

Colin F Lalor (Hallidays Point, 2021-10-20)

#510

Koala corridors are vital for saving one of Australia's unique animals

Jude Conway (Newcastle, 2021-10-20)

#511

We risk losing our koalas unless we stop destroying their habitat now

Helen Kvelde (Wingham, 2021-10-20)

#524

Koalas are so very special.I just love seeing them around our area

Lorraine Ryan (Rainbow Flat, 2021-10-20)

#530

Give these poor animals a break!
How are they suppose to survive without habitat, the clearing in this region is out of control!

Louise Moore (Port Macquarie, 2021-10-20)

#532

I have spent many hours photographing wildlife in the corridor. It is an important avenue for many species. It's loss would be tragic.

Brian Champion (Red Head, 2021-10-20)

#534

I am sick of witnessing the constant over development of this pristine environment on which I have grown up on..
Humans can relocate,however our animals are subject to constant destruction & greed ...l hate mid coast council

Mitch Baker (Diamond beach, 2021-10-20)

#538

I believe in keeping the koalas safe in this habitat.

Lum Wendy (Hallidays Point, 2021-10-20)

I lived in this area for most if my life and do not want to see our koalas dissapear.

Jenni Gray (Talgarno, 2021-10-20)

#548

I believe there should be an alternative to clearing this nature strip.

Rhonda Schiffmann (The Branch, 2021-10-20)

#549

The koala is an endangered species and every effort at all levels of Government should be made to save this iconic species
Mid Coast Council must not clear any habitat especially when this area contains koala .Council must commit to the 2021 Biodiversity and Greening Strategy

Stephen Albury (Limeburners Creek, 2021-10-20)

#554

We simply must protect our Koalas .

Renee Molineaux (Forster-Tuncurry, 2021-10-20)

Corridors and habitat must be retained if we are to protect native species

Pat Durmsn (Campbelltown, 2021-10-20)

#563

I'm signing because Aussie animals should NOT have to compete with human destruction.

Patricia Meredith (Spencer, 2021-10-20)

#564

Save the green corridors. The animals enchant People who come, then want to stay.

Frances Rosamond (Old bar, 2021-10-20)

#565

I’m signing because protection of our natural habitat is crucial for our sustainability.

Terry Pearson (Diamond Beach, 2021-10-20)

#568

I'm very concerned about the welfare of koalas and the potential extinction of koalas in some areas. Koalas are an iconic Australian animal and should be supported to flourish.

Sarah Cowdery (Canberra, 2021-10-21)

#572

Clearing of this E2 zoned land for APZ contradicts the Community Strategic Plan which acknowldges that 'Our natural environment is protected and enhanced, while we maintain our growing urban centres and manage our resources wisely.' This is an active koala habitat with many recent sitings. Surely 20 houses can adopt a higher fire rating through double glazing etc. rather than put an entire ecosystem at risk.

Adam Turville (Red Head, 2021-10-21)

#573

I live next door to the koala corridor and love to walk through looking for animals and want to protect them.

Lee Brassell (Red Head, 2021-10-21)

You can always find an alternative way to live in peace and harmony with our native animals.

Smith Kellie (Diamond Beach, 2021-10-21)

#581

Given MCC performance over recent years I far that it will clear this vital habitat despite community consultation and protests such as these. However I am attempting to protect the remaining koala habitats that exist in the mid coast.

Stephen Ballantine (Green Point, 2021-10-21)

#582

It is essential to the future of this planet and the enjoyment of this and future generations that we maintain the biodiversity we still currently enjoy

Brian Burdekin (Hallidays Point, 2021-10-21)

#584

Koalas and other fauna and flora need help now

Hutchinson Colene (Perth WA, 2021-10-22)

#585

To save our koalas we need to ensure that they are protected from the proliferation of housing developments in their area.

Rose Eshman (Diamond Beach, 2021-10-22)

#586

I care.

Kathy Bishop Dicker (Blackhead, 2021-10-22)

#587

I’m signing becauseI would love my grandchildren to see Koalas in the wild. Each destruction of habitat is a nail in the coffin of koala population.

Robyn Lee (Old Bar, 2021-10-22)
