Richmond Valley Council has already spent $944,000 in legal fees from 1999-January 2009, assuming by 2019 well in excess of $1 million dollars in ratepayer funds. The waste of our money on this unsustainable development needs to end. 2. Environmental concerns Koala - is a threatened species, who are losing natural habitat specifically in the Evans/Woodburn/Broadwater region as a result of land clearing for the highway, Iron Gates will displace and remove critical natural corridor that allows the koala & other species to migrate. The recent Bush Fires has accelerating the destruction of native habitat for the koala and other native species proceeding the tragic Rappville & Bora Ridge fires. Koala droppings were found on the perimeter of the proposed development site, a reasonable person knowing Koala’s move to find specific eucalypt trees to feed on would think they would move within the site boundary to source the specific trees they eat that are established within the proposed development site.

  • Approved Conservation Advice for Rutidosis Heterogama (Heath Wrinklewren)
    This Conservation Advice was approved by the Minister/Delegate of the Minister on: 3/07/2008. Approved Conservation Advice (s266B of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999). Approved Conservation Advice for Rutidosis heterogama (Heath Wrinklewren) This Conservation Advice has been developed based on the best available information at the time this conservation advice was approved. Description Rutidosis heterogama, Family Asteraceae, also known as the Heath Wrinklewren or Heath Wrinklewort, is a perennial herb with decumbent (reclining to lying down) to erect stems, growing to 30 cm high (Harden, 1992; DECC, 2005a). The tiny yellow flowerheads are probably borne March to April (Leigh et al., 1984), chiefly in Autumn (Harden, 1992) or November to January. Seeds are dispersed by wind (Clarke et al., 1998) and the species appears to require soil disturbance for successful recruitment (Clarke et al., 1998). Conservation Status Heath Wrinklewren is listed as vulnerable. This species is eligible for listing as vulnerable under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cwlth) (EPBC Act) as, prior to the commencement of the EPBC Act, it was listed as vulnerable under Schedule 1 of the Endangered Species Protection Act 1992 (Cwlth). The species is also listed as vulnerable on the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 (NSW). Distribution and Habitat Heath Wrinklewren is confined to the North Coast and Northern Tablelands regions of NSW. It is known from the Hunter Valley to Maclean, Wooli to Evans Head, and Torrington (Harden, 1992). It occurs within the Border Rivers–Gwydir, Hunter–Central Rivers and Northern Rivers (NSW) Natural Resource Management Regions.

The assessment program, conducted annually at years 5 and 7 in urban schools and at ages 10 years and above in non-urban schools, monitors achievement in English and mathematics. In 1991, nearly 4,000 urban students and 1,700 non-urban students participated in the testing program. Findings reveal a significant improvement in the achievement of urban students in years 5 and 7 in mathematics in 1991 compared with 1990. Fundamental changes in the reading test mate it impossible to compare the two years. However, evidence suggests that urban school functional literacy and reading comprehension was good, but was not as good in the non-urban schools, where many students appeared unable to perform satisfactorily in tasks required for Stages 4 and 5 of reading and Stage 4 of mathematics.
