Proposed Golf Resort Subdivision?

Why a Golf Resort Subdivision is bad for Seven Mile Beach:
What is proposed is not just a tourist hotel. This is a community-title subdivision.
part of the golf course falls within an established conservation zone.
villas will be constructed in a previously rehabilitated vegetation and wetlandsite, which is a habitat for the endangered Green and Gold Bell Frog
400,000 cubic metres of fill will be dumped in Foys Swamp to build the golf course.
it will add to the cumulative loss of biodiversity and habitat.
it will significantly change the natural character of the area.
This Golf Resort proposal is still being developed and it will go on exhibition at a later stage.
