"Logging has continued within areas assessed for the proposed park and there has been growing anger within the conservation community about convictions recorded by the state logging agency for breaches of environmental conditions."

When the 'Australians dream of home ownership' becomes a nightmare for Australian biodiversity.

Put new mass housing on completely degraded land with no biodiversity values or in the middle of a last biodiversity hotspot? South-east Queensland sprawl, Ipswich, Woogaroo Forest, Lot 9999
