I would like to see ecology studies submitted with all applications and compiled at the correct time of year, which are accurate and not biased towards the developers needs. All to often the ecology on potential sites are ignored or is wiped away before an application is submitted; trees cut down, vegetation removed and the wildlife interfered with. The 'experts' ecolgoy reports are taken as gospil and the locals' knowledge ignored as they perceived as NIMBY's concerned with stopping development and not with the local ecology or wildlife. Why are all studies accepted without checking their accuracy?
