North-Eastern Metropolitan Region
Aiv PUGLIELLI (North-Eastern Metropolitan) (12:53): (1047) My question today is to the Minister for Transport Infrastructure. While many fungi have small, restricted distributions and specific ecological requirements that make them sensitive to ecological change, the North East Link Program’s 2019 environment effects statement does not contain any reference to the fungal communities present at the Koonung Creek wetland. So I ask: how can the purported fast regeneration of biodiversity at this site be ensured when no record of the impacted fungal species has been taken?
