Looking north east from Eckerman Avenue we see land earmarked for urban growth boundary expansion. In the last few days we’ve heard of a Kangaroo turning up in the backyard of a resident opposite Dead Man’s Pass to the left of this photo, that Eckerman Avenue residents sometimes play host to visiting koalas, and a pair of rare diamon firetail finches has been spotted. What does this show? Well, what we residents already know, that the urban fringe can still contain significant habitat and that urban expansion is a threat to the biodiversity supported by this habitat!
