A large and tight colony of approximately 90-100 plants at the entrance to Mac's Reef tip. The colony was unnecessarily destroyed by damage peripheral to roadworks to the new transfer station, despite notifying Palerang Council of its location.
Unfortunately the answer is yes, Tony. I told Palerang Council about the colony (in which there were many plants like in the close-up). They did not need to destroy them, but as usual the damage created unnecessarily each side of a minor roadwork site took them all out.
Thanks Tony and Geoff - I have been meaning to talk to all the environment officers within the surrounding councils about Canberra Nature Map and how they can use it to avoid unnecessary destruction of important plants and other wildlife - this has given me new impetus to arrange those meetings
