We’ve put up a brand new page about the environmental impacts of the Kenmore Bypass and Moggill Pocket Sub Arterial. Many thanks to our supporters Bernie and Douglas! Check it out, and as with the rest of our site, link to it from any webpages or profiles you may have. Read on for a recap of what’s new.
We need to highlight the impact that the bypass would have on our natural environment. We need to get facts about the wildlife that exist in our suburbs. Some fragile native animals live in this greenspace whilst others depend on it as their own transportation corridor!
Did you know that Spotted Quolls were once thought to be extinct in Brisbane, but have since been seen in this area?
Did you know that the Moggill Creek Catchment is one of Queensland’s most biodiverse areas, and contains more bushland than any other catchment in Brisbane? (…and that the Kenmore Bypass will be built over the top of Moggill Creek?)
We need everyone in the area to think about the fauna you have seen in your backyard, or in any of the greenspaces in our suburbs. To see some of the animals that are already being monitored, see the list on the Wildlife Preservation Society of Queensland website. If you’ve made a Sighting, please complete the forms provided, particularly for the Spotted Quoll and Echidna.
For further information on the Moggill Creek Catchment, you can visit the fantastic Moggill Creek Catchment Group website.
Please also report any Sightings to us, and we’ll post updates for everyone.
If you’re already part of a local environmental group or have any significant information about the environmental impacts of the bypass, please let us know.

Just a thought, has anyone approached the CSIRO at Pullenvale for their environmental statistics. I live in Woodcrest Estate and the CSIRO periodically take samples of the water catchments/plant life within our environmental corridors.
