Member for Coomera, Michael Crandon said the decision was made last year to remove the fishing huts and sheds as they contained asbestos sheeting. “It is important we continue to consider the environmental and health implications these kind of structures have to the local community and marine life,†Mr Crandon said. “The decision to remove the structures means visitors to Crusoe Island can now enjoy the Island in its full capacity. Additionally, it reconfirms our commitment to protect our precious Moreton Bay marine habitat.†Mr Crandon said the DNRM began remediation works on the one hectare site in July. “Contractors completely demolished and removed seven fishing huts and two sheds as well as makeshift retaining walls constructed from discarded objects including concrete blocks, pipes, bottles, rocks, timber, metal and old car batteries,†he said. “The top layer of sand on the beach was also removed to clean up rubbish including bottles, glass, dead vegetation and other debris.†One wonders why dead vegetation is labelled debris? qld.psnews.au/Page_QLDpsn28413.html
