Newcastle Greens试图将灌木林地转让给城市控制, Newcastle Greens seek to transfer bushland to city control for permanent conservation amid habitat loss.

Newcastle Greens议员正在推动州政府将位于Newcastle市内Newcastle区和John Hunter医院附近的三块灌木林地移交给Newcastle市,以获得永久保护。 Newcastle Greens councillors are pushing the state government to transfer three parcels of bushland near the Newcastle Inner City Bypass and John Hunter Hospital to the City of Newcastle for permanent protection. 这片土地是Jesmond Bushland Complex的一部分,由于4.5亿美元的绕行项目而蒙受生境损失,对像松鼠滑翔机这样的本地物种构成威胁。 The land, part of the Jesmond Bushland Complex, has suffered habitat loss due to the $450 million bypass project, threatening native species like the squirrel glider. 议员们指出,分散的所有权和不明确的管理是养护的主要障碍。 Councillors cite fragmented ownership and unclear management as key obstacles to conservation. 他们建议将土地重新划分为理事会控制下的社区土地,并与新南威尔士州生物多样性保护信托基金签订养护协定,以确保长期供资和保护。 They propose reclassifying the land as Community Land under council control and establishing a conservation agreement with the NSW Biodiversity Conservation Trust to ensure long-term funding and protection. 该动议突出了社区和理事会多年来为保护该地区所作的努力,并呼吁统一管理,以维护生物多样性。 The motion highlights years of community and council efforts to preserve the area and calls for unified management to safeguard biodiversity. 该理事会将决定是否正式要求州和联邦官员提供支持,将土地永久用于土地。 The council will decide whether to formally request support from state and federal officials to dedicate the land in perpetuity.
