Summary
His evidence covered the important indigenous wildlife values associated with the Beach Road Inlet wetlands and in particular their significance and how that relates to the Esplanade Reserve provisions, the subject of this hearing. I will discuss the mitigation measures needed to protect the wetland areas adjoining the esplanade reserve and how this could be achieved. I will also discuss the matter of cats and dogs and their detrimental impacts on wildlife and ways to avoid such impacts.
