With the election called, and with no evidence Minister Plibersek has acted to stop the wholly unnecessary Northern Airport Road, the Conservation Council ACT Region holds grave fears for the safety of Canberra Grassland Earless Dragons at Canberra Airport.

For anyone concerned about the future of Canberra’s Dragons, we suggest you write–right now–to either or both of:

  • The Snow Foundation
    https://www.snowfoundation.org.au
    enquiries@snowfoundation.org.au
  • Mr Noel McCann
    Director of Planning and Government
    Relations
    Canberra Airport Pty Ltd
    n.mccann@canberraairport.com.au

Please request that they restrain their contractor. Do not allow bulldozers to bisect the ‘Conservation Area’ shown in Figure 1 on page 8 of the Northern Road project’s Threatened Species Management Plan. This is the core area of threatened habitat that would be destroyed by the North Airport Road. It must be protected!
