PNHA is committed to raising awareness of, and providing information on environmental issues. We are currently involved in managing several educational and on-ground projects, and offer support for others.
We are involved in advocacy for environmental protection of key strategic sites, as well as the overall maintenance of the natural values that make Pittwater special. PNHA provides comment and advice on matters before Council that affect the environment through sumbissions where community consulation is invited.
Advocacy
- Rabbit Control. A pest species should not be available as a pet unless desexed. We are seeking to have legislation changed to rationalise this situation. Pet shops will be asked not to sell undesexed rabbits.
- Canary Island Date Palm (Phoenix canariensis). We are distributing the brochure we developed with Pittwater Council to properties in parts of Mona Vale where seedling palms are obvious and talking to residents about palm control.
- Careel Bay Marina Upgrade and Expansion
- Proposed Development of Currawong
