This is an inner city location and the colony represents a health risk by reason of the faeces and incessant noise alone which impacts on the amenity of adjoining houses, let alone the risk of viruses. The inner city is not an appropriate place for such colonies given the ready availability of habitat in areas on town fringes and the extensive crown lands which surround the built up environment of the Gold Coast. If any other creature or human was causing such mayhem action would have been taken years ago. The government needs to get its head out of the sand and sort out this colony. The bats can be effectively and safely moved on as they have from many other locations on the Gold Coast and throughout Queensland with absolutely no impact on their viability as a species (which deserves appropriate not hysterical protection) or other animals. If this was a marsupial rat plague in the city then action would have been taken. There are houses inthis area which are no longer habitable as a consequence of government inaction at all levels.

It is of great concern that bat faeces dry and become air borne particles penertrating into homes of young families and the aged. Making for an unsanitary living enviroment where diseases can spread including Hendra. We now know mans best friends dogs and horses can carry the Hendra Virus but we don't know if the
virus will mutate and pass directly to humans. It wasn't that long ago we where told only horses can carry Hendra. If so it will take years to get a vaccine for humans. Our family lost Alister to Hendra and we pray that his death maybe the last.

When I purchased my home nine years ago there was not a bat in sight. Then due to trees being cut down near Harbourtown, preparing land for the new university hospital on Olsen Ave & other developments taking place, we now have a roost of bats that number in excess of three thousand right on our doorstep!

Particularly at risk are the elderly at The Southport Nursing Home as well as the residents of Chirn Park who live on Loders Creek. Our lives are disrupted on a daily basis when the bats start screeching around 3.00am during summer & 4.30am during winter. The noise levels are such that if they were humans they would be arrested.

The stench from their faeces is intolerable & we have virtually become prisoners in our own houses not daring to open windows or sit in our gardens.

I invite any Qld State Politician to spend a few days at my place so they can experience first hand what an intolerable way we are living our lives.

I have had to resort to medication for stress & ear plugs for sleeping!

Enough is enough! Common sense must prevail!

Having lost a brother to Hendra Virus I am very concerned about the risk of direct transmission from bat to human ocuring.
I love animals but there is a point where they need to be culled.
