Letter to Editor June 08

Dear Editor,

Many residents have noticed the continued and escalating clearing of koala food trees and other natives within the Moreton Bay Regional Council area.  Recently, the Department of Main Roads removed trees on Youngs Crossing Road, Joyner, regularly used by koalas and other native wildlife.  No wildlife ecologist was present and legislation designed by the EPA to protect koalas was not adhered to.

We all know of the benefits of having smoke detectors.
Do we all remember to change the batteries on our smoke detectors – every 12 months? 
Do we all remember to check that each smoke detector is working by pushing that ‘test’ button – monthly?
