The clearing of old-growth forest at Lee Point would be a national disgrace. The proposed Defence Force Housing must not proceed until the full impacts of the destruction of the Lee Point wildlife corridor are understood.The Greens are the only party that can be trusted to Save Lee Point. |

Lee Point must be preserved and rehabilitated for future generations—to shield us from urban heat islands, provide a haven for wildlife, and serve as a sanctuary for locals, bird watchers, mountain bikers and bush walkers. The surrounding green corridors and rural areas must be preserved to protect our territory way of life. |

Phil SCOTT Independent |
YES |
Regardless of whether I’m elected or not, I will continue to do what’s in my power, and to empower our community, to advocate for a moratorium until other locations are independently evaluated for long-term public benefit. This would ensure the best environmental, financial, health and social outcomes for our community. |
