Being asked for an opinion and not being able to comment, is not consultation?
Locals brought this site back from being clear-feld farmland in the 1930s before the government got involved
Lack of Consultation With Locals & Indigenous
750 people, many generational families, call Springbrook Mountain their home. As early as the 1930s, before any government incentives, the locals decided to regenerate this special area. Springbrook was brought back from being clear-felled, to being a lush and loved rain-forest.
Despite, locals attempting to advise the government, the authorities are not listening to the combined years of experience being offered to them.
The local residents are calling for an urgent injunction pending further independent investigation into proposed developments affecting the world heritage site.
Sham consultations with no ability for real input is not good enough
Locals who have use their own money, time, effort and energy, to defend the environment, find themselves being victimised. Many of their services being closed in an attempt to make their traditional country way of living in harmony with nature, no longer possible.
Locals have funded private campaigns protecting the environment by opposing proposed:
Multistory Hi-Rise Hotels
Golf Courses
Caravan Parks
The Cable Way
Olympic, High Altitude Training Venue
Drone Shuttles
Zip Lines
Large Day & Night Bus Terminals
Olympic Torch Venue
Light Pollution
