Compounding an existing problem
7. The business's proposal to operate as a tour in Woondum National Park will
significantly impact upon the local environment and endanger our protected flora and
fauna, eroding the habitat that has been set aside for protection of our natural
environment. The tour will likely have invasive impacts like disturbance to animal and .
bird breeding and the introduction of weeds.
8. We understand that’ Noosa Parks Association; Noosa Biosphere Ltd; National: :
Parks Association QLD, Wildlife Preservation Society QLD, Australian Centre for
Agricultural Health & Safety and Noosa Landcare have also raised their concerns.
On this basis, | would not consider this proposal to be in keeping with proper
development of the area and would ask that the application be refused.
