The application to allow residential development of the above land was discussed at the Hornsby Shire Council meeting on 11 March.
After many speakers, Council accepted a motion by Councillors Hutchence, Browne, and Azizi that included the following:
Council write to the Minister for the Environment, Local State Members and candidates for the
upcoming State election for the seat of Epping, seeking the NSW Government’s commitment
to purchase 79-87 Malton Road, Beecroft on the basis that it provides important habitat for a
diversity of native flora and fauna including several threatened species such as the GangGang
Cockatoo endangered population and the vulnerable Powerful Owl and Grey-Headed
Flying Fox and forms part of an important wildlife corridor that allows species to disperse and
transfer genetic material between local reserves and Lane Cove National Park.
The matter was adjourned to allow time for that submission to be put and responded to.
