Fauna Mitigation Fences Still Not Up
Residents have forwarded distressing photographs of wallabies as late as Friday, June 21st, still being struck by cars and killed in the area west of Ingleside currently being dug up.
This has been a known fauna thoroughfare from one side of the road to the park and feeding grounds on the other side for decades.
Although assurances that fauna fences would be installed were made a fortnight ago the carnage is continuing.
Where are the fauna fences?

The latest update on nightworks that were to be completed this week (weather permitting) informs residents and road users that;
As mentioned in our April update, some of the excess soil and rock from this project, will be reused for the Mona Vale Road West Upgrade. This will be stored in the area between Mona Vale Road, Tumburra Street and Wirreanda Road.
Clearing of vegetation is already underway within part of this area, however some of the clearing needs to take place at night due to traffic restrictions and safety considerations. Temporary road barriers will also be placed along Mona Vale Road near this clearing area.
Night work is planned on the following days, weather permitting:
- Tuesday 11 Jun: 8pm – 5am
- Thursday 13 June: 8pm – 5am
- Monday 17 June: 8pm – 5am
- Tuesday 18 June: 8pm – 5 am
- Thursday 20 June: 8pm – 5am
There will be noise and temporary traffic changes during this work. We will minimise noise where possible.Equipment used may include excavators, a crane, chain saws, lighting and small tools for the clearing work.Removal of the debris from the site is likely to happen during the day to limit truck movements at night.
NB: Rain fall this week may have delayed some of the above described works.
