The Hon. Paul Scully MP Minister for Planning and Public Spaces Post: GPO Box 5341 Email: |
The Minister has the power to refuse approval for the Lizard Rock planning proposal. | |
|
The Hon. Stephen Kamper MP Minister for Lands and Property Post: GPO Box 5341 Email: |
A number of paper roads which are owned by Crown Lands are required for the Lizard Rock project. These are publicly owned land that should be kept in public hands for bushwalk access, conservation, and future needs. | |
|
The Hon. Jihad Dib MP Email: |
The land at Lizard Rock is mapped as bushfire risk by Northern Beaches Council. It is unacceptable to build new housing estates in areas of high risk, and put RFS volunteers and Fire+Rescue employees lives at risk defending the properties. | |
|
The Hon. Penny Sharpe, MLC Minister for Climate Change, Minister for the Environment Post: GPO Box 5341 Email: |
The land at Lizard Rock has environmental significance for flora and fauna, and forms part of a wildlife corridor connecting Garigal National Park, Narrabeen Lagoon State Park, and bushland on private and public land. | |

The Hon. Tanya Plibersek MP Commonwealth Minister for the Environment and Water Post: PO Box 6022 Email: |
