Living on the Edge

The results of the Sustainable Neighbourhood survey of Toronto, Carey Bay, Coal Point and Kilaben Bay showed that the most highly rated considerations was the need to “protect and improve the natural environment” followed closely by the need for access to parks, beaches, bushland and other natural areas”.  

With this Chronicle is a copy of our council's LIVING ON THE EDGE brochure.

While this appears to be aimed mainly at lake foreshore homes it's good to remember that several of our reserves are not on foreshore eg  Burnage, the Ridge Reserves and Carey Bay Wetlans with its catchment creeks.

The suggestions in the brochure about ways to protect reserves apply to all homes in our area as seeds from very invasive plants in gardens fly through the air and flow with drainage. This causes big problems in reserves which local landcarers struggle to manage especially in the bushland areas we so much appreciate.
