Issues of Concern to the Community

The Bushland’s survival to the 1990s  was more an accident of history rather than good land-use planning. Its survival from the 1990s through to today, however, has undoubtedly been the result of strong community action. Local residents have fought to  ensure that the Bushland’s survival will no longer be subject to the pressures of those who would see houses and roads as its inevitable destiny.
