Another Sunshine Coast Wetland Wrecked

A campaign to secure protection for the recently drained Yandina Creek
Wetland on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast continues, but in the meantime, a
much smaller though important local wetland has been gutted.

The Parklakes Wetland near Bli Bli had provided refuge for good birds
including nesting Australian Little Bitterns and Australian Painted Snipe.
That wetland has effectively been converted to a useless duck pond by the
property developers who own the site so that residents can have open water
views. A most unfortunate development indeed.
