Crematorium Threatens Endangered Habitat
Peter Sainsbury notes that the second pillar of the World Resources Institute requires that we “protect remaining natural and semi-natural ecosystems from conversion and degradation. All conversion and degradation of forests, grasslands and forests should stop by 2030 at the latest.”
Yet ACT Planning has given the provisional go-ahead for an unneeded, destructive crematorium complex on the boundary of the Callum Brae Nature Reserve that will destroy critically endangered trees as well as threaten an important wildlife corridor and biodiversity including the swift parrot and the Small Ant-blue Butterfly.
Friends of Callum Brae Nature Reserve, a community group, plan to appeal the development application approval to the ACT Civil and Administrative Tribunal (ACAT).
