You can complete the survey (last link) without registering, but I have also registered (the second link). If you could get your bird watching friends or groups to protest that would be pretty significant I think. I wonder if there were any bird watching groups represented at yesterday’s workshop (the discussion paper is at first link).

Each representative was able to contribute their views, within the context of the published discussion paper http://www.yourseqwater.com.au/projects/samsonvale-kurwongbah/documents/74/download It was made clear that SEQWater would not be permit public access to Lake Kurwongbah because of risk from spreading the infestation of Cabomba weed This, and the representation of other groups, has resulted in a great deal of pressure to open Lake Samsonvale for powered watercraft. While LSWSA Committee members will contine in their efforts to protect the club’s interests, there is still an opportunity for individual club members to influence the outcome. – Register your interest on the SEQWater site http://www.yourseqwater.com.au/projects/seqwater-recreation-review – Fill in the Lake Samsonvale on-line survey https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/LakeSamsonvale There have been already 450 survey responses.
