The motion from last week that the LNP delayed is being debated now. Calling for the Lord Mayor to provide all advice he has received regarding wildlife fencing along Boundary Rd l, White Hill Reserve.
Cr Griffiths is pationate about it, saying there have been koala deaths and he wants to prevent any more.
He lambasts the Lord Mayor, Cr Cunningham and Cr Adams, who have said they’ve heard advice suggesting fencing this stretch would be counterproductive. None of them are present in the Council hall during this debate.
Cr Mackay seems to be the person designated to respond on behalf of the LNP.
He says that on previous occasions when Cr Griffiths has brought similar motions, the LNP supported them by saying they would listen to the experts and follow expert advice.
He quotes Darryl Jones from Griffith University, saying that fencing roads can be problematic from a wildlife diversity standpoint, because it blocks their movement far more than the road does. He also quotes CSIRO to much the same effect. However, he doesn’t provide anything specific about Boundary Rd.
He does say that a review is being undertaken at Boundary Rd, operated by experts from UQ. He moves that Cr Griffiths motion lie on the table until this report is received.
