It has been  confirmed. The people and the cassowary are of no interest to the State government and the cassowary and the World Heritage  areas are of no significance to the Federal  government.

First they take no notice  when the  council  puts together a shoddy planning report clearly skewed in favour of the developer and when it is bought to the Federal and State  governments attention by  hundreds of people they   say it is not of interest or of no significance.

The Federal Environment Department informed us   on 4th March "  I can confirm that the consultant working on behalf of Mission Helicopters Pty Ltd responded to the department advising that Mission Helicopters Pty Ltd is aware of its obligations under the EPBC Act but is focusing on finalising the Local Council processes at this point in time".
 Minister Ley  confirms in her response to our 'call in' request,  "The company has advised it is aware of its obligations under the EPBC Act  and will seek  advice  from the department when appropriate. "

The State Minister for Infrastructure and Planning/local government   has  decided against  using his power to call in the development for reassessment. He informs us   the  appropriate place for any community concerns to be heard  is in a costly court appeal. ,    "This is a reserve power that is used only in exceptional circumstances. In this instance, there are no state interests impacted by the development which would warrant my involvement. The Planning and Environment Court is an appropriate forum to examine any issues relating to the technical assessment of this application.

It's all in the  letters below.

The ordinary people, the ones  the governments are  supposed to be  working for, have been dismissed.
