Introducing Shoop
the Sugar Glider!
-
- A wonderful
Australia Post Landcare grant has allowed Shoop the Sugar Glider to
come to life to spread our environmental message to the wider
community.
-
- OCCA will take Shoop
to schools and community festivals to educate community about
conservation and the need to look after our local wildlife – in
particular, the plight of the sugar glider. Sure to be a great hit
with both kids and adults, Shoop will make its debut at the 2008
Peaks to Points Festival. Watch out for it!

Urban Planning Changes Unacceptable
- Urban Planning changes being put
in place by the Premier may threaten our catchment. Two actions of
the Premier have grave implications: first, fast-tracking of land
releases at 17 sites in South East Queensland, including the
so-called Oxley Wedge, riding roughshod over normal council
development application procedures; second, revising the SEQ
Regional Plan without consultation with stakeholders, including
OCCA, threatening existing reserved greenspace in our catchment as
well as elsewhere in SEQ. Click on the Link to see our Press
Release.
