Unveiling the remarkable achievements of Wildlife Queensland’s branches across Queensland
On 9 September, more than 40 people joined Wildlife Queensland on the beautiful Sunshine Coast to attend the Society’s Annual General Meeting and the 60th birthday celebrations for the Sunshine Coast & Hinterland Inc. Branch. Find out what our branches have achieved this past year.
Beach clubs raise red flags on the Gold Coast
Wildlife Queensland’s Gold Branch is “getting crabby” about the exploitation of coastal environments and asking Queenslanders whether they want pristine, natural beaches free from private on-sand commercialisation, or whether they want sunbed-crowded, litter-strewn Balinese-style sandpits largely devoid of wildlife and non-paying beachgoers.
Don’t Crush Our Environment – A Win for Gold Coast Wildlife and Residents
In September, Gold Coast City Councillors voted 8 to 5 to reject the 100-year+ development application for Nucrush Quarry at Oxenford, but while that particular battle was won, the larger war looks set to continue. Of particular concern to Wildlife Queensland was the proposal’s potential for extreme, irreversible environmental damage.
