Explosives depot threat to Sunshine Coast hinterland

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Thu, 12/08/2010 - 4:26pm

By Arkin Mackay

Dam and Blast!

Just when we thought the pressure was off the Mary Valley for a while after the scrapping of Traveston Dam, there's a new threat to the area. A proposal currently being assessed by Gympie Regional Council could see the Moy Pocket quarry in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland become the site for an explosives storage and distribution facility that would provide explosives for extractive industry operations throughout south-east Queensland.

What does this mean?

Horse rally raises funds for court case crucial to resisting a proposed new Queensland dam

Submitted by Diet Simon on Mon, 21/09/2009 - 10:32am

MEDIA RELEASE September 20th, 2009

Claims made by the Queensland Premier, Ms Anna Bligh, that the proposed Traveston Crossing Dam near Gympie in the state's southeast will save threatened species like the Mary River cod, Mary River turtle and Australian lungfish from farmer-induced extinction have outraged people across Queensland.

The Save the Mary River Coordinating Group President, Glenda Pickersgill said by far the greatest threat to these species survival is building more dams and spillways.
