Heritage Mango Trees Saved

The Mango Hill Progress Association has achieved an interim victory in
seeking to limit the loss of Mango trees along Anzac Ave with a decision
by the Qld Department of State Development, to not approve the original
location of an access road onto Anzac Ave. This location was identified by
BGM in DA/33328/2016 (Development application) for an 80 house
block development.
As recommended by the Progress Association, SARA (Qld State Assessment
and Referral Agency) which coordinates all responses from the various State
Government Departments on proposed local developments has stated in its
letter of 14th September:
This location is the current “turn around lane” entry into Nuway
Landscape yard.
Whilst any further incursion onto Anzac Ave is not ideal, the Progress
Association accepts:
• There must be an access road onto Anzac Ave and this is the best location.
• Some further trees may be lost.
However, as was our recommendation back in 1996 with the duplication of
Anzac Ave and the formation of the current “U-turn facility” at this location,
the Association will advocate strongly for “relocation” of as many trees as
possible to the western side of Anzac Ave. (in 1996, 6 trees were successfully
transplanted and continue to grow on western side of Anzac Ave).
Current Situation:
Moreton Bay Regional Council has approved a 6-month deferment in the DA
application process from BGM effective to 28th February 2019, after which
further consideration of the their DA will be considered.
The Mango Hill Progress Association is pleased with the terrific response
from the community at large and thanks all local Media outlets, over 6900
individuals who signed petitions and our State Members for their support. Written by
“The Price of Peace is Eternal Vigilance”. It is up to everyone in the community Laurence Christie
to keep an eye on what goes on in their Community. President - MHPA
