Make Mothers Day extra special this year.
Spend an hour or two showing that you care about conserving our Koalas, our Bay and our Planet.
Come along to a family friendly event at Raby Bay Harbour Park next to the Cleveland Train station.
There will be stalls from local community groups, music and a visit from Beako the massive Far Eastern Curlew puppet.
Beak the giant Eastern curlew at Lights in the Mud will be at the Walk for Toondah
Walk for Toondah starts at Raby Bay Harbour Park
Starting at Raby Bay Harbour Park, the Walk for Toondah will proceed very slowly through Cleveland Town to show we say “NO” to 3,600 units being built in the bay.
Before or after the Walk for Toondah you will have time to visit the popular Cleveland Markets in Bloomfield Street.
The Walk for Toondah route.
Together we can protect Toondah Harbour
Community concern about the project is growing.
The Stradbroke Island ferries leave from this area that will be a construction worksite for up to 20 years if the proposed project goes ahead.
Locals are worried about the loss of irreplaceable habitat for animals like Eastern Curlews, dugongs and koalas, as well as the increased traffic and the impact on the community and local businesses.
Mudflats, used by critically endangered migratory shorebirds as feeding grounds, will be destroyed to make way for up to 3,600 apartments.
Increased traffic from up 7,000 apartment occupants will impact on the endangered koalas who are found regularly in trees around Toondah Harbour.
This proposed project shows complete disregard for our country’s international obligations under the Ramsar Convention to protect a globally significant wetland.
We can stop this project and protect Toondah Harbour. But we need to come together and show our support for safeguarding this beautiful and significant area.
Join with us at the Walk for Toondah to help secure the future of this amazing place we all love and enjoy.
