Friends of Moore River Estuary Protecting our pristine Moore River Estuary and surrounds through safeguarding from over development

The much loved Moore River Estuary is under threat of degradation by urban development. It is a pristine and stunningly beautiful bush area that is a breeding ground for endangered species, most notably Carnaby's Cockatoos. The Moore River Company owns the beautiful bushland south of the estuary and plans to develop it. The Friends of Moore River Estuary must now make appeals to Moore River Compan

y and to the Gingin Shire to protect this unique area of cultural and environmental heritage. The level of threat demands direct and concerted community action. The problems with the Moore River Company proposal go far deeper than concern with their Outline Development Plan. The unique area south of the estuary, much of which has been classified as 'pristine excellent,' has been re-zoned from Rural to Urban Development. There is no prohibition to future development almost up to the southern shore.

A new report demands urgent action as it sets out to turn the tide on Western Australia’s “biodiversity crisis”.

And of immediate concern is the rate at which the state’s native vegetation is being cleared, with 51,000 hectares already approved by the state government and another 128,000 hectares in new applications, according to the Conservation Council of WA.

On Thursday, the state’s peak conservation body will release Back from the Brink: A Protection Agenda for Nature, which sets out 36 recommendations for the government to act on.

Among the recommendations are calls to expand the Environmental Protection Authority’s strategic assessments, review the Biodiversity Conservation Act, limit the use of environmental offsets, and review the prescribed burning program in WA’s south-west.
