​Mandalong. Where the Forest She-oaks grow.
SAVE MANDALONG
FROM INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT
The recent publication of Lake Macquarie City Council’s Morisset Place Strategy set off alarm bells for the Mandalong Community Association.
The Strategy does not mention Mandalong by name however, should the Strategy be implemented, the effects on the Mandalong valley will be extensive and environmentally catastrophic.
The Mandalong Community Association set about galvanising our community to protect what we hold most dear. Currently information is being disseminated and public meetings are being held.
​
The main concerns being addressed are:
The effects of building an industrial estate on a flood plain.
The disruption that will be caused by an increase of traffic, particularly trucks using Mandalong Road to access the industrial area and the M1.
The inexcusable destruction of environment and wildlife habitat.
The MCA has published a booklet which outlines the responses from the citizens of Mandalong to the LMCC Morisset Place Strategy
The LMCC responded to this booklet with the following letter:
