Legal advice reveals NSW Planning and Environment Ministers have powers to create massive Western Sydney Green Belt including protecting more of the ADI Site.

Legal advice from the Environmental Defenders Office details a range of legal options open to the NSW Govt or an incoming Liberal Govt to create the Cumberland Conservation Corridor a lasting green legacy for Western Sydney. These options are realistic and legal and can be implemented with little cost to the taxpayer. The NSW Govt can list parts of the ADI Site under threat from the development as Critical Habitat. See the legal advice here See concept for Cumberland Conservation Corridor here

NSW Liberals must honour commitment to protect more of the ADI Site

Barry O'Farrell and the NSW Liberal Party have been called on to honour their 2007 election commitment to protect more of the ADI Sites critically endangered Cumberland Plain Woodland. Brad Hazzard and Catherine Cusack are called on to urgently announce their commitment to the protection of Western Sydney's threatened natural heritage. See the Libs 2007 commitment here The options mentioned in the EDO's legal advice above can be used by the Liberals. If they fail to act then they don't deserve government and should stand condemned for their inaction.
