Greater Brixton Street Wetlands needs you!
Monday 24 July from 18:30 to 20:00
Free
The Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) has reminded us that “The Greater Brixton Street Wetlands (GBSW) are one of the most important wetlands on the Swan Coastal Plain with outstanding biodiversity attributed to the unique geological, geomorphic and hydrological characteristics”.
Join UBC, Friends of Brixton Street Wetlands and the wider community conservation network to learn more about the negative and far-reaching impacts of the proposed expansion of the Maddington Kenwick Strategic Employment Area (MKSEA). See the details on the City of Gosnells consultation hub. This plan would have significant adverse impacts for water & hydrology, buffers, connectivity, pollution and livability. Hear from researchers, consultants and long-time volunteers who have advocated and cared for the Greater Brixton Street Wetlands for decades. You will also learn more about the proposed Yule Brook Regional Park that would link the Darling Scarp, through the GBSW to the Canning River. (Click here for 2+ minute video clip)
Then we can work together to write submissions to the City of Gosnells so that they are more aware of the values of this precious natural area.
