史蒂芬斯港理事会批准了《萨拉曼德湾地区计划》,允许在曼博湿地附近进行住房、商业、卫生和社区用途的新发展,尽管保护者反对,他们警告说该计划威胁到湿地生态缓冲区。 The Port Stephens Council has approved the Salamander Bay Place Plan, allowing new development near the Mambo Wetlands for housing, commercial, health, and community uses, despite opposition from conservationists who warn it threatens the wetlands’ ecological buffer zone. 议会市长Leah Anderson指出,预计人口增长20 000人和国家住房目标是有理由的,指出发展不会直接发生在湿地,包括保护区。 Council Mayor Leah Anderson cited a projected 20,000-person population increase and state housing targets as justification, noting development won’t occur directly on the wetlands and includes protected areas. 自然保护者仍然感到关切,认为周围的灌木林地在生态方面至关重要,并计划继续倡导替代场地和环境保护。 Conservationists remain concerned, arguing the surrounding bushland is ecologically vital and plan to continue advocating for alternative sites and environmental protection.
