To preserve enhance & value our natural eco system & the survival of koala populations & other native species in the area

Michelle Tracy (Blackhead, 2021-10-10)

Object to the interference of the koala corridor in seascape
Please leave the natural habitat and fauna alone in this area

Trish McDermott (Hallidays Point, 2021-10-10)

I disagree with proposed clearing of koala habitat. Koala protection it’s of outmost importance.

Alison Anker (Hallidays Point, 2021-10-10)

#10

This corridor is highly valued by the community as a space for the flora and fauna unique to this area and requires the utmost care to retain its special position in our community

Patricia Lamey (Diamond Beach, 2021-10-10)

#12

I am concerned about over development and loss of habitat for native species.

Marilyn Dimmock (Red Head, 2021-10-10)

#15

Because this reserve/protection area should be protected and not negatively impacted by development greed. If the blocks cannot be safely build on the that is the developers problem.

Kieren Hinchliffe (Diamond beach, 2021-10-10)

To protect our critically endangered Koalas and to stop the over development of our beautiful environment.

Kerry Hamer (Red Head NSW, 2021-10-10)

#20

With Koala numbers dwindling, this safe haven is so important for helping to keep them safe. No land should be cleared from a koala corridor.

Bernadette Brislane (Tuncurry, 2021-10-10)

#21

I have purchased land up in Tallwoods Village and will be building and moving up there.

Louise Fox-Vaughan (Mount Annan, 2021-10-10)

#23

I add my signature to this petition to stop clearance of the koala corridor which is actually a safe habitat for koalas from the specific area, proven in the last few weeks. Locals want to keep the last remaining residual corridor whilst looking after the fire risks via traditional Indigenous cold burn methods, which has the potential to renew and make safe the corridor. Please consider the wishes and alternatives of us in this exceptionally special community who have the opportunity to be custodians of the corridor for years to come.

Destroying natural beauty

Jamie hurst Hurst (Breakfast point, 2021-10-10)

#26

I’m signing this because it hurts to see what they are going to do with no respect for the animals or the land.

Sheree Budden (Red Head, 2021-10-10)

#28

Animals can’t protect themselves, we have to protect them.

Belinda Morgan (Forster NSW, 2021-10-10)

#29

We need to keep space for our beautiful koalas. This is so very important

Emma Barton (Forster, 2021-10-10)

#30

Enough of our koalas have lost their lives and enough of our remaining koalas continue to lose their habitat. Enough is enough.

Jade Baggins (Coolongolook, 2021-10-10)

#32

Our koala population was decimated by the fires We cannot lose more habitat and wildlife

Paula Varnier (Waverley, 2021-10-10)

#34

I believe that one of our rarest uniquely Australian mammals should not be allowed to become extinct when it can be avoided especially to line the pocket s of our councils and politicians.

Jenny Lowe (BLACK HEAD, 2021-10-10)

#40

Every Koala habitat (corridor) needs to be both saved and managed.

Shane Matthews (Tuncurry, 2021-10-10)

#43

With all of the habitat already lost why should we be destroying the small remnants that koalas have left.

Mia Evans (Hallidays Point, 2021-10-10)

#45

I'm signing because I believe in the protection of our wildlife

Pauline Blake (Tallwoods Village, 2021-10-10)

#52

Even though the APZ in the subdivision DA, 20 years on the world has changed for koalas and the bushfire legislation has evolved. This needs another look from council to come up with a better solution that does not involve ratepayers paying for protection of 20 odd houses.

Tim Stenning (Diamond beach, 2021-10-10)

#53

We need to keep our Koalas safe in their own environment

Sonia Haggerty (Red Head, 2021-10-10)

#55

I care

Joanne Gillespie (Red Head, 2021-10-10)

#57

It’s not a binary choice. Reduce the fuel selectively while maintaining the most important features that support the corridor’s habitat values.

Norman Shapro (Black Head, 2021-10-10)

#59

Habitat needs to be preserved for koalas to survive.

Barry Galbraith (Cranebrook, 2021-10-10)

#63

Habitat loss is accelerating all through this region. Developers no longer want to build housing estates that coexist with remaining habitat, all they care about is how many houses can be squeezed onto the parcel of land to be developed. People move to this area to enjoy the type of life style nature is providing, not to see it destroyed.
Maybe in this case, the house envelope should be positioned to maintain the 14m distance from the koala corridor.

Rohan Knobbs (Red Head, 2021-10-10)

#68

Koala habitat is of prime importance at a time when, without our vigilance and actions, THEY WILL become extinct in our lifetime.

Caroline Croxford (Diamond Beach, 2021-10-10)

#69

I am concerned that corporate interests are over riding the importance to protect the environment and biodiversity across the mid-north coast. A planned approach towards sustainable development is imperative to protect this areas unique value.

Kathleen La Mey (Brooklyn, 2021-10-10)

#71

It’s for their future

Elizabeth Field (Port Macquarie, 2021-10-10)

#74

I’m signing because too many species are being decimated by poor choices, and dying out through inbreeding due to lack of biodiversity; the corridor does not pose a large scale threat, not linking directly to large timber; the local owners of the land backing onto the corridor bought BECAUSE it is there; Council have done nothing about it for years; it did not affect any homes during the worst bushfire season in living memory in the area; Council MUST CONSULT NOT inform.

Sandi Lear (Redhead, 2021-10-10)

#77

I'm using my voice to speak for our vulnerable koalas who have been through enough devastation of recent times. Their habitat needs protection.

Rachel Bauert (Diamond Beach, 2021-10-10)

#79

I’m deeply concerned at the rate of decline in our Koala population. It is increasingly difficult to see an animal in the wild. I am also angry at the rape of the country that Government Authorities insist on allowing developers to carry out. My country, its wildlife, all of nature, needs the people who care to protect it.

Tricia Lear (Smiths Lake, 2021-10-10)

#82

Councils are out of control. Giving developers a free ride to destroy bush and wildlife.

Koalas need our protection.

Elizabeth Collins (West Ryde, 2021-10-10)

#85

Koalas can't protect themselves. We need to do it for them.

Toni Fatherley (TAREE, 2021-10-10)

#86

Koala population is declining rapidly and the current NSW coalition government has done more damage than any other in history. We need to stop and protect what we have left in our area now.

Steve Shotton (Hallidays Point, 2021-10-10)

#87

I am very concerned as over the last 17 years since we moved here the kolas have slowly gone we used to hear the mating season every year close to us at diamond but no more

Dianne Stilgoe (Diamond Beach, 2021-10-10)

This is my home.

Coralea Knobbs (Red head, 2021-10-10)

Koalas are endangered, their habitat is fast disappearing, every tree that can be saved to help them survive is needed, Koala corridors are very important for them to connect with food sources.

Susan Hutchinson (Bonny Hills, 2021-10-10)

#92

Our area is naturally diverse and beautiful. We need to ensure this diversity is protected and not ruined by overzealous development. Environment first. Profits last.

Collin Croxford (Diamond Beach, 2021-10-10)

#94

Our precious Koalas need their habitat protected.

Narelle Williams (Diamond Beach, 2021-10-10)

#96

Saving any koala habitat or corridor will be instrumental in saving the koala from extinction.

Antonia Dick (Waitui, 2021-10-10)

#97

I don't agree that Asset Protection Zones should be on protected wildlife corridors or indeed at all out of the borders of the property it applies to. I cannot clear an APZ on my neighbour's rural land.

Kathie Kent (Red Head, 2021-10-10)

Koalas are endangered one reason being habitat destruction
Stop this

Our habitat is being destroyed by greed ... with no interest in our future!

Jan Maynard (Glenbrook, 2021-10-11)

I am concerned about protecting the koalas

Peta Power (Red Head, 2021-10-11)

#117

We desperately need to protect our wildlife, especially when it’s the greedy, selfish developers are
profiting .

Karin Hagen (Diamond Beach, 2021-10-11)

#118

This pristine area of Koala habitat needs to be preserved. The developers should never have been allowed to build on the blocks in question.

Brock Roslyn (Diamond Beach, 2021-10-11)

#120

I live in Seascape and one of the reasons I purchased here was because of the koala corridors and knowing that something was being done to protect them

Rachel Lenkic (Hallidays Point, 2021-10-11)

#123

I do not support the intrusion into the Redhead Koala Corridor.
Biodiversity and koala conservation requires protection of remaining habitat – habitat which is shrinking every day. This requires a commitment from decision makers to act with decisiveness, strength and courage to put nature first. I ask that the Mid Coast Council demonstrate leadership to protect, not reduce, habitat.
The proposed asset protection zone does not align with Mid Coast Council’s goal for a biodiversity-rich landscape. The important, and well-known, Redhead Koala Corridor is an important remaining refuge for koalas – which is even more important, after the recent 2019/2020 bushfires. Surviving koalas are depending on in-tact habitat.
I was heartened to see that the Mid Coast Council had secured significant post-fire investment to work with all stakeholders to understand koala populations and implement conservation actions to protect the species in our area into the future.
Unfortunately, it was very disappointing to hear that the Mid Coast Council is proposing to actively destroy koala habitat – this is counterproductive to the Council’s expenditure on koala conservation, thus reducing the effectiveness of such conservation actions and wasting previous conservation funds.

I ask that the Mid Coast Council does not proceed with any asset protection (habitat reduction) in the koala corridor.

Kind regards,
Candice Skelton
Conservation Officer / Koala & Wildlife Ecologist

I live in the street directly across from this. I don't believe the trees need to be knocked down. There have been far too many trees knocked down already and we need to protect the little pockets of greenery for some wildlife to thrive.

Tara Todhunter (Red Head, 2021-10-11)

#125

I am incensed by this ludicrous proposal.
Not honouring an agreement to preserve enhance and value our natural ecosystems is despicable. I strongly feel the biodiversity framework goal should be upheld- destroying the Koala corridor, including the undergrowth in the area which other animals depend upon is cruel, insensitive and inhumane. They cannot answer you, fight or protect themselves. This is of vital importance given the decimation of wildlife during recent natural disasters. I implore you to reconsider, taking into account your promise to the community and the flora and fauna, and the future generations of all of God's creatures who visit or call this area home.

Janette Murray (Red Head, 2021-10-11)

#127

I’m signing because this Koala Corridor is known to be an extremely important reserve for breeding koalas and a vital link to the coastal forests. The local community have put over 15 years of work into planting, weeding and maintaining this natural asset.

Barbara Richardson (Diamond Beach, 2021-10-11)

#128

This government has all ready destroyed so much. Something they are very good at.

Phillip Knobbs (North Richmond, 2021-10-11)

#129

I object VERY strongly about the reduction a d cleaning out the Koala corridor. This can be done in a much more subtle way that will minimise disturbance to the koalas, the birds and the other animal populations that share the undercover.

Marie Lewis (Redhead, 2021-10-11)

#135

The koala is in such a perilous state, we have to save the last remaining pockets of their habitat.

William Howell (Bonny hills, 2021-10-11)

#137

These houses should never have been given permission to be built with a wildlife corridor behind them. Just a few examples of why they shouldn’t have is 1)don’t build adjacent to a close bush setting 2) it’s a purpose built environmental corridor. 3)Multiple native animals reside there, wallabies, birds, owls and of course Koalas who are just starting to come back. With more houses being built we could have domestic and future feral cats hunting in there and with the land cleared of undergrowth there is nowhere for them to get protection. A condition of building should at least include no cats.

Deborah Dickens (Red Head, 2021-10-11)

#138

Our area saw devestation of many species during the bushfires. It is time we prioritised our native animals over housing developments.
Council should have considered this during the initial DA. Koalas are critically endangered. We have to act now.

Nicola Mahaffey (Diamond Beach, 2021-10-11)

#142

I care for the koalas and all animals.

Julie Budden (Sydney, 2021-10-11)

Save the koalas and protect their habitat

Angela Gaudiello (Arncliffe, 2021-10-11)

#146

I strongly oppose the council proposal to diminish the asset protection zone on the grounds that we need to treasure the biodiversity plant & animals to prevent the extinction of our most important native species!

Wayne Dufty (Red Head, 2021-10-11)

#147

I want to see Hallidays Point Koala Corridor survive & be preserved for future generations. And not be destroyed by the greed of Developers & MCC Council

Denise Cohen (Hallidays Point, 2021-10-11)

#149

If we don’t stop clearing land we will have no koalas left here.

Emma Marshall (Hallidays Point, 2021-10-11)

#150

Our local koala colony is already in crisis. If local council goes ahead with the clearing of their habitat, they will not only be killing off local koalas, but wild bird life, lizards, bandicoots and other small unique to this area, mammals.

Sharon Carter (Black Head NSW, 2021-10-11)

#152

At a time when we have already lost thousands of koalas due to recent bushfires and their habitat is being decimated due to development why an earth would the council be considering removing one of the very few areas left originally designated for koala protection. This council should be purchasing land and creating more green spaces and habitat for our native animals not approving the destruction of every last square metre of it. To see what is being allowed to happen in this area, and the impact this is having on l nature is heart breaking. This koala corridor must be protected.

Francoise Dupen (Hallidays Point, 2021-10-11)

#153

Nature was given to us.We have destroyed enough.

Delma Shotton (Argenton, 2021-10-11)

#154

So shocking this could even happen koalas are nearly extinct how could council approved developing any area well known and documented to have koalas living there.

Fiona Lane (Tallwoods village, 2021-10-11)

#155

Don't we just love the Koala! This is a rare animal that has direct links to the indigenous community and is protected how sad that we don't care for these marsupials same on you

Liz Thompson (Smiths Lake, 2021-10-11)

#156

Koala population have decreased greatly with the fires and they are endangered

Chris Horsfield (Black Head, 2021-10-11)

#160

This is home to many animals particularly koalas. My children and I walk through here numerous times per week. This has been here for a long time and we hope that with all the development going on around here it would be lovely to maintain some nature.
It is said fire is the reason for this however local fire fighters are also opposed to the destruction of the koala corridor. People have bought these kinds knowing that the koala corridor is here.

Debbie Cougle (22 hope st red head, 2021-10-11)

#161

I’m signing because this corridor is a precious resource and must be protected for current and future generations.

Merri Mulherin (Red Head, 2021-10-11)

#166

It is important

Lynne Sherwood (Garden Suburb, 2021-10-12)

Due to the already reduced numbers of koalas I want to preserve as much of our area to ensure the future of the species .

Lynda Merzlikoff (Diamond Beach, 2021-10-12)

We need to save our koalas, to be their voice

Jacqueline Morgan (Forster, 2021-10-12)

#170

PLEASE we want to protect our local Koalas natural habitat that they are already living in now, they will have no chance of reproducing and building there population back up., especially after our horrific fires that decimated so much of their natural habitat. This unique marsupial is the only one in the our world and we are so fortunate to have them here in our own local bush lands. We don’t want them moved elsewhere or to zoos, PLEASE let them be free here in our beautiful protected bush land surrounds. PLEASE don’t let them become extinct

Sue Ireland (Tallwoods Village, 2021-10-12)

I looooove the koalas in their natural habitats at redheads n I'm sure they loooooove it there even more!!!

Anni Bekens (Seaham, 2021-10-12)

Too much koala habitat has be destroyed by humans, we need to save them now before they become extinct in the future

Megan Cowan (Manning Point, 2021-10-12)

#176

Protection of koala habitat is essential for the long term survival the species.

Melissa Horne (Forster, 2021-10-12)

A lot of koalas died in the bushfires & we need to preserve as many as possible.

Lyn Cowan (Warners Bay, 2021-10-13)

#180

I am concerned at any i tervention in the koaa corridor.

Graham Studd (Diamond Beach, 2021-10-13)

#181

We lost so many animals in the 19 20 fires. Please done do this and harm more animals

Sue Taylor (Taree, 2021-10-13)

#186

I'm opposed to taking away the koalas habitat to make room for humans that can live elsewhere and still survive.

Von Ireland (Forster, 2021-10-14)

I believe we are all responsible to take of our dwindling Koala population

Allison Maberly-Smith (Black Head, 2021-10-14)

#190

Australia's extinction rates for our unique wildlife are alarming, and we need to protect the surviving flora and fauna.

Sandra Pertot (Diamond Beach, 2021-10-14)

#192

Protecting our local wildlife is an obligation on the community - we need to protect it as best we can.

KEITH SKIPPER (red head, 2021-10-14)

#196

Property developers must no longer be able to rely on years' old agreements that force Councils to accede to totally inappropriate and harmful clearing where any Threatened Species have been identified or are likely to occur. The decimation to wildlife in the area due to drought, fire, heat events and flood in the past 3 years alone MUST bring in special protections for Scheduled wildlife species. This environmental vandalism and raping and pillaging for the Almighty Dollar must cease. Curb the human population growth to sustainable levels.

Meredith Ryan (Brombin, 2021-10-14)

#197

developers need to employ ecologists to identify species and pay for ongoing monitoring, land clearing can be done selectively, protecting identified significant trees and corridors

Wendy Hee (Wauchope, 2021-10-14)

#198

Koala populations have always shared this coastal environment. They are increasingly vulnerable as habitat reduction is not strongly regulated and enforced particularly in times of rapid development.

Terry Gould (Black Head, 2021-10-14)
