The Master Plan for Fred Caterson Reserve was adopted in November 2020.
Friends of Fred Caterson Reserve have written to Council and Councillors and our concerns were not addressed.
There is still time to have the Master Plan amended or totally rescinded, if this is what our Councillors choose.
If you care for Fred Caterson Reserve and our environment, please join us.
WHAT CAN YOU DO TO HELP?
Visit Fred Caterson Reserve, take a bushwalk, take photos and share them with us. Let us know if you see any threatened species.
Read the Master Plan, including the new Concept Plan for the elite rugby facility requiring the destruction of native bushland the area of TWO rugby fields of old-growth vegetation.
