Please, please don’t destroy it.

]]> Sat, 5 Oct 2019 12:19:16 UTC 23267093 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/23222495?utm_medium=rss Let us have it for public land, not housing.

]]> Tue, 27 Aug 2019 08:13:06 UTC 23222495 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/23215790?utm_medium=rss This is a sanctuary in our community used by so many people for walking, running and just sitting on the benches from the youth to the elderly and different ethnicities. It is a green lung and home to diverse wildlife. It needs preservation like that of Blackburn lake.

]]> Wed, 21 Aug 2019 02:21:56 UTC 23215790 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/23211084?utm_medium=rss The housing density is increasing in the area rapidly and its important that we leave some are as it is, to balance it out. The development can increase human activity and the wildlife and the nature suffers.

Save the lake!!! Stop concreting every part of our little town!

Australia needs to wake up and realise that a quick buck now isn’t going to be worth much if our planet is dead.

]]> Thu, 18 Jul 2019 05:54:04 UTC 23181882 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/23141389?utm_medium=rss It is so important for areas like this to be kept in it's natural state to preserve the local habitat and how wonderful to have something like Blackburn Lake here in the City of Knox which we could all enjoy. The reason we all choose to live here in the City of Knox is because of the environment and open spaces, not to have them all built on.

]]> Tue, 25 Jun 2019 10:53:52 UTC 23141389 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/22940111?utm_medium=rss This area adjoins the Lewis Park development.It requires careful management.

]]> Wed, 12 Dec 2018 10:54:03 UTC 22650453 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/22269617?utm_medium=rss I think that it important to preserve what is left of our open environment.

]]> Wed, 4 Jul 2018 12:58:36 UTC 22269617 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/22157793?utm_medium=rss Knox City has always promoted itself as an environmental haven. Indigenous plants, birds and wildlife protection through retention of trees and natural areas has been a critical part of this approach throughout the over 30 years I have lived here and many more before. It would be disappointing to see this approch destroyed by over development

]]> Tue, 24 Apr 2018 05:30:24 UTC 22157793 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/22090651?utm_medium=rss Sat, 17 Mar 2018 06:18:12 UTC 22090651 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/22082466?utm_medium=rss ....this is a lake not a dam..!! it has a healthy eco-system which is home to many species of flora & fauna..please do not destroy it..!!
I don't live in Knox any more but still have strong ties to the area and visit often.
The State Govt. has a responsibility to the people of Victoria to develop surplus public land & buildings to the benefit of all Victorians which includes all flora & fauna especially endangered species..at least two of which can be found at this lake.
Knox Councillors have a responsibility & duty of care to all Victorians & City of Knox residents specifically to ensure that any new developments provide new green spaces &/or include & protect already established green spaces ..this lake needs protecting..please declare it a sanctuary, thank you

]]> Mon, 12 Mar 2018 03:57:35 UTC 22082466 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/22076343?utm_medium=rss Don't ruin this wonderful Park!

]]> Wed, 7 Mar 2018 07:53:19 UTC 22076343 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/22055386?utm_medium=rss I dont want more development, keep some green space in our suburbs

]]> Fri, 23 Feb 2018 08:19:45 UTC 22055386 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/22055385?utm_medium=rss Save our green spaces

]]> Fri, 23 Feb 2018 08:17:32 UTC 22055385 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/22049386?utm_medium=rss please save knox lake -we need more peaceful places to go during our hectic lives! we need to protect our wild life and we dont need any more houses or roads in this area

]]> Sun, 18 Feb 2018 10:42:05 UTC 22049386 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/22049375?utm_medium=rss Public spaces that allow contact with nature and wildlife is fundamental to good mental health and promotes social connection and good physical health. Stop unecessary overdevelopment.

]]> Sun, 18 Feb 2018 10:27:32 UTC 22049375 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/22048840?utm_medium=rss With Victoria's woeful track record in looking after wetlands (recent Auditor General's Report slapped DEWLP and water authorities) or native waterbirds (Victoria one of last remaining states to still allow the cruel practise of duck shooting in which thousands of our dwindling native waterbirds including rare and threatened species are killed and maimed each year) one would think a simple act of preserving a simple wetland like this would make sense. If the government allows this precious waterway to be developed one must seriously question our governments capabilities and ethics. Again. Shame on the developers as well. Name them and shame them. If the developers had any ethics they would develop sustainable vertical gardens or the like. If Australia,, one of the main culprits being Victoria, keeps going on this path, there will be no nature assets left for our children to enjoy in future.

They help to provide habitat for many species. We need to be saving these spaces and protecting them further. The Dandenong Catchment is an important catchment that directly affects Port Philip Bay. Removing lakes like these will effect the water quality and place more pressure on Blind Creek, the Dandenong Catchment and Port Phillip Bay - all the while removing habitat and lowering the biodiversity of the area. Please protect this area.

]]> Fri, 17 Feb 2017 12:02:50 UTC 21057803 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/21018238?utm_medium=rss Don't ruin our park

]]> Thu, 2 Feb 2017 03:50:52 UTC 21018238 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/20977489?utm_medium=rss Too precious to lose - a tranquil green place surrounded by crowded housing and close to two busy roads. I use it often for exercise and to clear and rest my mind - so do my friends and neighbors.

]]> Sat, 14 Jan 2017 03:31:38 UTC 20977489 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/20971090?utm_medium=rss Please protect the remaining green environment, including water bodies, in our city from development.

]]> Tue, 10 Jan 2017 04:41:20 UTC 20971090 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/20971061?utm_medium=rss I walk around the lake everyday and enjoy the wildlife that has this as its habitat, also is was one of the reasons we bought a house in this area.

]]> Tue, 10 Jan 2017 02:39:16 UTC 20971061 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/20971057?utm_medium=rss This was one of the reasons why we purchased in this area. My family and I love to walk around the lake whilst enjoying all that the lake has to offer. Please keep this area as is. Please don't spoil this wildlife sanctuary.

]]> Tue, 10 Jan 2017 02:34:20 UTC 20971057 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/20970979?utm_medium=rss Australia has the 'proud' distinction of leading the world in species extinction, and it is overwhelmingly due to loss of habitat, caused by humans. The time for Governments and councils to get into step with, and meet community expectations to redress this disgrace is way overdue. Instead of relentless destruction of our natural environment, everything should be done to, not only nurture what little is left, but to create more - and urgently.

More bird life sanctuaries and pleasant natural recreational areas are needed. The area shouldn't be under threat at all. As development is so high native recreational areas should be mandatory. It was legislated so.
