Biotropica’s 2008 report on “Wongaling Beach Habitat Linkages, prepared for Terrain NRM, lists Habitat Linkage
6 (which is: Reserve 214 to Tam O’Shanter National Park via Lot 802 on SP110366) as a primary linkage that “…. is considered the most significant linkage within the Wongaling area. .... Linkage habitat on the eastern side of the
Tully Mission Beach Road is State land but adjacent forests are privately owned lands. …..The security of
linkage habitat on State lands is assumed, although this security rests entirely on achieving appropriate levels of protection for the very significant linkage habitat represented by Lot 66 SP164474"
“These two parcels contain very high quality vegetation, including riparian vegetation fringing two watercourses that flow into Reserve 214. If these parcels are developed there is a high risk that this critical linkage will become dysfunctional and degraded.
The long term future of Lot 66 on SP164474 requires careful consideration given its critical position, high quality habitat and continuity between State lands. Protection incentives should be considered and some acquisition may also be warranted.” (Biotropica 2008)".
