David Mccready, Goetz Von Schweinfurth & Jan Davey

0:47 Councillor Wilkie: this morning from David McCready, Gertz von Schweinfurt, Jan David. The topic is 30 to Lambie Street. 30 to Lambie Street Zoning to Environmental Management and Conservation Zone. And that is in the report, Director General, on page 5 of the General Committee agenda, for those who are following this at home. Welcome. Mr. McCready, you have...

1:10 Speaker 10: Welcome. Thank you. And we're all ears. Okay, thank you for allowing us in your time to present. Our idea is essentially an opinion of the community. You know, deputation would be for myself, but it's inherently reasonable and...

1:28 [4 seconds the machine transcription could not make out; listen from 1:28]

1:35 Presenting as the board of the Wildlife Corridor in Coimbaru, the purpose is to maintain the council, this deputation is about maintaining block 30, the land is turned into parts by its heart industry, the ability to zone in its open space recreation, environmental management, this is about non-consolidating that piece of space. We have seen that the officials and the people present upon this matter, these and their comments signify the feeling we develop so quickly in a region where people were first disbelieving in their names about the prospect of losing a piece of land they longed to include in their hearts. Towards the end of last week I had many details and wonders put forward in this meeting, however the substance of the council and the development report just removed the necessity to cover much of that actual point. We commend those reports. Thank you. In addition, we will seek though to remove, to move towards some form of dedication in block 30 and 32 so that they do not remain as nearly freehold and ready for some possible stint in the Shire Council. Given the statement of dedication by the council, it would add to the apparent intentions of the original council who decided that blocks 30 and 32 would be the entrance to the park.

2:53 Speaker 2: In the light of events, when asked,

2:55 Speaker 10: without such matters might be handled in the future in a better manner. This process of defending that which we took for granted has not been without its stressings that we had. We think that we were to accept and reprint what we had. I'm sure the whole of the plans would have been hurt. No one was approached. No one knew. All became aware of the events over four weeks and years and years. These things have been on the public and along for years and years and yet no one knew. It's a record. The significant council of media and advertising has out for some time regarding the 2020 misdemeanor changes. But no one on the plane had any inkling that there was a change affecting the region. There was no sign. There was no board. Why would they think that? There was no sign. There was no board. It's not nuts.

3:41 Speaker 2: When you're inquiring.

3:42 Speaker 10: But you had zero response when you're inquiring. This is not a requirement of material change and use to issue. To consult with neighbors around the site. You're right. There's no need to advertise the sports around the site. Nobody experienced any of that. And we'd like to understand why. We've been in Parkland for 14 years. And there was no inkling or reason for this change. There was no change. In the reports we would argue that the detail lacks in the local process might be part of that improvement, and this process might be part of that improvement in the future. Science would be an automation of observation, recording, and introduction. Locals are the best practitioners of observation. No one asked the stream about its hydrology. It was estimated. No one asked locals about wild fox behaviour. No one asked the stream about coralisites. Nobody sought to do an automation on flora. The community frankly feels it's a lot to be part of. The community has thought that this job has been passed on for years. The community has used this space and increasingly regarded the park as being of great importance to them and the area. The trees have matured. Gets made new on Shrineport. Now I'd like to introduce Gets on Shrineport to speak about the animals.

5:03 Councillor Wegener: [3 seconds the machine transcription could not make out; listen from 5:03]

5:05 Speaker 2: good morning

5:07 Councillor Wegener: good morning

5:07 Councillor Lorentson: [2 seconds the machine transcription could not make out; listen from 5:07]

5:08 Speaker 2: thank you [8 seconds the machine transcription could not make out; listen from 5:11] All the information, as you all know, the area of Queensland has been a very good classroom environment, we know that. Very little has ever been used to assist them. We talk a lot, but nothing is in practice. But I've been in touch with Queensland Coral Crusaders from the Times, she's the president. We also have Priscila Goodman, she's a lawyer, and she's written a beautiful book called The Mistletoe Islands. It's the most well-known German one. She's also on the tour, and she was on board of the Mistletoe Islands. We have also on page 26 on the vegetation management report. It says clearly, core koala habitat. In this part it's like an oasis. You've got a beautiful ecosystem. You've got tortoises, waterfowl. Which is fed by the water, which runs actually off the moats.

6:14 Karen Brady: And it's got trees on it, koala trees.

6:22 Speaker 2: There's a little group of koalas, there's seven koalas there right now. Now they come across the road every now and again, especially when the mating season's on. The Minister of Council talks of considerable money and putting up lettuce worms. They go around and point towards waiting. See all these posts. They were put up by your council. Which is great. There's a koala's moose. They're not going to get up so quickly on this road. There's another one going on a moose's spoon. There's a big hotel. Another koala in the area. The koalas are desperate to get away from this whole thing. This part is the main traffic way, because they actually follow along this path. And they go to the top and down to Claiborne. And they are. I know this for a fact, because we've seen sightings of koalas that have been seen in the last 24 months. All have actually been caught crossing the road and behind coals. When the mating season's on, they move fast. And it's so terrible that this crop is in this little group, because it just doesn't do justice to the future preservation of our koala. And I'm going to talk about the other animals. I work with every animal. And I've got a very good network of large koalas.

7:38 I work with seven wildlife professionals. And they are all very concerned. Because if this goes ahead, we are in big trouble. And this is a beautiful system. And it should be a system not interfered with in any way. It's a small area. People love it. And they love the wildlife that lives there. And they just call on the coals for us. This is all about common sense and preserving our future wildlife for our future generations. And there are pretty big, short koalas in our area. And I know every koala area that lives on International Park and some other sections. Because I do it every day. That's my life. And I'm more than happy to show your wildlife people. Because I've always said this. Your wildlife people and the environment we live in is very important. They should come out and talk to us on the grassroots weekly. We don't get paid. We are there passionately working out the wildlife. Helping and assisting and even lecturing to achieve results to preserve our environment. And I just want to make that very clear. And the international situation is involved too. Because I live in the ocean. Since I was a consumer. I'm born in the Netherlands.

8:53 I live in Africa. And I was born in the United States. We are all trying to help the Koala community, and we are all trying to help the Koala community to move alone and make sure all that's worked together as a team can make sure we get to the front line and bring together the Koalas. Thank you very much.

9:15 Councillor Wilkie: Thank you, guys.

9:23 Karen Brady: Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and councillors, my name is Karen Brady, and I am the coordinator for Shire Council for New York City. I have been to New York on many occasions, and I want to go here the rest of the year for my own self-care and fitness account as well. I'm here because I'm a wicked surrogate, and the work that I practice here is a work of art. It's a way to carry through my contract, and I'm getting it to Australia, and I'm using this part. Where have we gone? It's been 10 years. When our trees were stopped by it, and there was a little red. Today, when I arrived, there was a lot of noise. The noise was from males trying to talk to their females, and having a little bit of a boogie. They were supposed to be babies.

10:20 Speaker 2: And a lot of the rest of them were on.

10:22 Karen Brady: It's about three, four, five, six months to the present time. You can't wait for their movement. The child's up north. You can't wait for your son. And Northern Territory. When they give birth, it's a time of the year. In fact, the females die first. And then the males, like all males, like the other girls. At the moment, it's a bit of a boogie, because the boys are saying to each other, come on, don't you bug me. Let's get close. I'm a little bit concerned about the two blocks being, having their trees removed. There are some very important trees in the child's box. For example, this is Silphia. And that is very important for the female child's box, one of which was pregnant in the last month. Most of the trees the child's box is going for have an nectar of 58 to 20, 58 to 20% prokaryotes or more. And it takes 50 years for a tree to grow enough to produce that for the child's box. And with the right kind of output, there's two blocks. The base of the third album is going to be right next to the one for the colony.

11:38 Now, they might shout while the bats are away. But when the bats return, I don't think they're going to be very happy people. And I think councillors are going to have to be a little bit worried as to what they're going to do. Because up until now, people have been banging sticks around the house. They've got sticks and drums and everything else to try and get them to move. They are moving to our area because we, as humans, have taken down their trees further away. And before the fire in 2019, I think it was, our job is to go around and help councillors get rid of all the dead animals, dead bats, from all the parks and bushes and people's boxes. They work with them up through the graves. They starve. They're starving to death. And they're going to continue to starve to death unless we stop removing their trees

12:37 Speaker 2: and giving them some peace.

12:39 Karen Brady: They're also dying from starvation. They're actually fat. Fifty percent of bats die of heat stress in one day. The reason? The colonies are not there anymore. So it's more than calling it in. A colony is a colony. A colony is there and there's no vegetation for them to get under the shade. And this is going to continue on and on. And if we continue to take all their trees down and remove all their vegetation, we will lose the bats, gracefully. And as Dr Nurse Hall said, if I work with that well, it's a must away. Once that starts, we've got ten years to go before we lose all our trees. Five bucks a year. They go around and pollinate the trees. And science proves that the nectar produced from eucalyptus is at 1am in the morning. That's when the birds are going to sleep and the bees are going to sleep. Use the bat, use the tree. Simple as that. I pray that you will think carefully about getting that site removed in those trees. Because I think it will cause a lot of problems in the future.

13:56 Speaker 10: Thank you. Thank you, Jay. I'm coming back.

14:04 Starting back those two minutes? Yeah.

14:10 Okay.

14:12 Councillor Wilkie: You want to summarise, Dave?

14:15 Speaker 10: Yeah. We've got a minute and a half, I believe. Petitions have been taken in support of our case. Five of the six councillors, the time has come out. How many? How many people have been put into the block with us, walk around and do us a vent? All four councillors have spoken to us by phone, they've taken emails, are back and have kept up with details of the case and have responded. And we've responded back to them often. Should there be any relevant issues with our planning, we stand ready to address it. Please redress this piece only. Please return the block 30 to open the space for recreation and environmental management. Please ensure that the blocks 30 and 32 are not again considered for a material change of use, as they recently were. You have the chance here to be a say on the right side of history. The grass was a disaster, perhaps not a new maker, but it was on real life. This must bear on all of the minds. In 30 years, people might report the council who preserved this wonderful urban asset. It's up to you now. And I did read Mayor Stewart's comments and take it every day, applauding the wonder of Noosa and why people like the place so much.

15:37 I think we all have to keep that in mind at all times. It's hard doing the job you're doing, but Noosa is known around the world for its biosphere, its environment, its natural nature. As I said to a few of you when I first came from Cooling to Noosa up that road, there was not a house between Cooling and Noosa. That's what we do. That's what humans do. We sit on land. We spread. And we clear. It's devastating. We have to just try to stop and then hold back. We maintain what it is that we love about the place. If I have any time left, I don't think I do. I'm going to ask a question. Other than that, thank you very much. Thank you.

16:21 Councillor Wilkie: Thank you, David, Jan and Gertz. We'll think very, very carefully about what you said during your excellent presentation. And the item will be discussed more fully later on this morning if you'd like to watch online. And just to let you know that any decisions made today, any motions passed today will have the status of recommendations going to the ordinary meeting on Thursday night where they're there and then they'll be passed as resolutions of local government.

16:50 Speaker 10: Great. Thank you. Thank you, David.

16:53 Councillor Wilkie: Thank you, Gertz. Thank you, Jan.
