NB The NSW Govt. is trying to reintroduce this development.
Catherine Hill Bay, NSW – Development stopped
Tuesday September 1, 2009: NSW’s biggest housing development and a host of other Hunter Valley projects backed by Labor Party donors are facing collapse after a court ruled illegal the agreements negotiated secretly to have them approved.
A crushing judgment in the Land and Environment Court has swept away plans by Rose Group to build 600 houses at the coastal hamlet of Catherine Hill Bay, south of Newcastle, and another 187 houses at nearby Gwandalan on Lake Macquarie, and sounded the death knell for developments at both sites planned by Coal & Allied.

| Tell Tony how essential marine sanctuaries are! Having trouble reading this email? Read it online |
 |
Dear Neville,
Yesterday we were shocked to hear Opposition Leader Tony Abbott announce he will stop creating marine sanctuaries around Australia if elected Prime Minister.
So let’s get as many people as possible on the phones to Tony – tell him to get a snorkel to go with those budgie smugglers and take a look at what’s beneath the waves. Call Tony today on (03) 8616 5100.
While our marine life buckles under the pressure of pollution, overfishing, and the destruction of marine habitats, Tony’s vision is to do nothing. Protection of our Kimberley and South West marine life are now under serious threat.
