Mount Cotton, (30 minutes from CBD) is an iconic bush land habitat nestled between Brisbane, Logan and Redland communities. It has Queensland’s most significant coastal koala habitat, other vulnerable and threatened species and a regionally significant rainforest ecosystem. Tourist drives, biking and walks are a feature of Mt Cotton. Our action group is a coalition of Brisbane, Redlands and Logan residents and community groups

What is proposed: A large area in the middle of Mt Cotton to be turned into a hard rock mine for the next 50 – 60 years.

Our concerns: Mt Cotton is already home to one of the largest quarries in Queensland. A second super quarry with the associated community and environmental impacts is an appalling example of large scale mining greed. We are committed to ensuring that this development and its flow on impacts of 80,000 trucks, silica dust plumes and habitat destruction does not go ahead in this jewel of SEQ. But we need your help to protect this wonderful place and local communities from this large and inappropriate mining activity.

OBJECTIONS TO THIS DEVELOPMENT CLOSE 11 JULY 2012 and must be posted or email to Redland City Council
