The area at North Maclean is home to numerous threatened and endangered species like koalas, spotted tail quolls, cockatoos, as well as kangaroos and wallabies.
abc.net.au/news/west-logan-large-industrial-area-land-clearing/101362838Work has begun to clear 370 acres of land in West Logan to make way for a large industrial area, dealing another blow to residents who have been fighting to preserve the area's fauna and flora for 17 years.
"I've been here for more than 31 years now and I'm really angry that the community has been voicing these fears, making every effort that they can at state and federal level, and no-one is listening," Ms Page said."I'm past that point. I'm distressed, I'm upset, and I'm angry.
"This corridor is generally consistent with the location of Logan City Council's identified biodiversity corridor. "So to start with, species may be able to move into that and then eventually that may not be enough to sustain populations that were there before."State MP for Logan, Linus Power, said he understood the community's concerns.
"Locals also tell me that they would like to see jobs locally rather than having to drive long distances to workplaces."But local resident and Land4Wildlife member Bev Brett said she and others felt ignored by bureaucrats.
