Every day driving past this site I worry about the future of our wetland eco system and animal habitats as over a hundred logs are piled high beside the development area.
An independent organisation such as the National Parks And Wildlife Service should be asked to establish small parks in this development area to allow for the new 4,500 homes for humans and still provide homes for the native wildlife also. Improve this proposal to benefit the life-cycle of children growing up in the area to see the growth and movement of native Australian plants and animals.

Kings Forest Extension of Stage 1 Application Process
I ask that Council makes a request to the NSW Planning Department for an extension of the Public Exhibition process until 28 February 2012 in light of the complex and extensive nature of the application and need to obtain advice from a network of local specialists on the new Koala Plan of Management.

Council makes a request to the NSW Planning Department for an extension of the Public Exhibition process until 28 February 2012 in light of the complex and extensive nature of the application and need to obtain advice from a network of local specialists on the new Koala Plan of Management.
Kings Forest Stage 1 Application Community Consultation Process I request that the Council requests the NSW Planning Department for the Department to hold public meetings on the Kings Forest Stage 1 Application in light of the wide spread public interest and ramifications of this development and the community concern for the preservation of the Tweed Coast Koalas.

Our roads and services are not adequate, our bush and beaches are already under so much pressure. Local people have had enough of the relentless push for development. This must stop. Community consultation at both local and state level need to be conducted. We must debate our population target for the sake of our future. Our environment cannot sustain such flogging indefininitely.
Thank you.

2. The Buffer fencing needs to be in place before earthworks commence to protect fauna and to ensure that the earthwoks are contained within the approved areas.
3. The construction traffic should be limited to 40km/hr and traffic controllers used in risk locations and during risk times of the day (before 11am and towards dusk)
4. The proposed stormwater pipe accross the entrance parkway near Tweed Coast Road intersection ( beside the fauna underpass should be fitted with a flood gate to allow controll of the drainage upstream which will then allow the Swamp Schlerophll a chance to regenerate strongly. The open drain around precinct 2 runs through to the farmland to the north west and is important for the drainage of the farms but could be managed to great advantage as described.
5. The road descriptions on the earthwoks plan by Morton Urban Solutions are wrong. It incorrectly decribes the location of Secret Lane. It describes the unnamed Crown road reserve and Council road reserve as Secret lane and Depot road.
6. Greater attention needs to be given to the timing and extent of fauna fencing in relation to the stagings of the developments. A hollistic approach should be taken otherwise there is likely to between the fauna movements and development.
7. Maintenance into the future of the fauna/buffer fencing needs to be considered to ensure that the fencing remains effective.
8. Dogs should not be permitted in the estate.
9. The fauna culvert design needs to consider dry passage for koalas and needs to incorporate protective structures such as raised logs, to assist in safe passage for koalas.

It fails to provide adequate protection for the dwindling Koala population and other fauna within it's borders.
It is too dense with houses, which will not be self sufficient in water or power.
It will place enormous pressure on what remains of the natural coastal ecosystem.
It is all about a big developer making big money, at any cost to the environment and the community.
If there must be a development, then I suggest the following;
The Golf Course should become a wildlife park, which would provide employment and ongoing interest for tourists.
Like Koala Beach, all domestic cats and dogs should be banned.
The development should be self sufficient in water, with tanks and recycling mandatory. Cycleways should be included. Lots sizes should be larger, to provide room for shade trees and gardens for native birds and other wildlife to inhabit.
The number of dwellings should be halved

The dwindling Koala habitat & other threatened species in this unique part of the north coast of NSW is reason enough to stop this development.
Development is not always good. This is only for pure monetry greed by Leda. They dont care about our enviroment. Leda's Reg Van Rij's comment that the cause of dwindling numbers of Koalas in the Tweed was ''not development but wildfires & road fatality hotspots. This development would increase these causes for the Koalas demise.

Also in line with Tweed Shire Council guidelines, this subdivision should include provisions for storm water harvesting for use as grey water.

Because of its size and impact on delicate coastal flora and fauna, including koalas and their food trees, this subdivision should exclude ownership of domestic animals, particularly dogs. Also cats tend to kill a lot of native birds and small mammals.
In line with Tweed Shire Council guidelines, this subdivision should include provisions for storm water harvesting for use as grey water, to lower the future water demands by the subdivision.
