Birdlife Northern Rivers speaks prior to the 20 February Council Meeting pertaining to the letter in its earlier post. Council approves a motion as stated below.

1. That Council approves the advertising of its intention to dispose of the properties at 39 and 41 West End Street in Murwillumbah (Lots 5 and 6 in DP1303298) by Public Auction in accordance with Council’s Policy for the Disposal of Land v1.3 and invites written submissions on the proposal be made within 28 days from the date of advertisement.  

2. That Council recognises the biodiversity of Lot 4 and the neighbouring WWTP, and that any future work takes this into consideration and includes appropriate community access, including a walkway on the road reserve that links Rous River and Murwillumbah township.

Birdlife will pursue work with council for the said walkway, riparian restoration and a wildlife corridor as opportunities arise.
