Federal Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek has approved the Ozy Homes (Manyana Coast Pty Ltd) housing scheme, planned for the 20Ha forest we've been trying to save since the Black Summer bushfires.

It's fair to say we're absolutely gutted that the decision wasn't outright refusal, affording protection of the forest and all the creatures that call it home (and so much joy for so many in this community of bushfire survivors).

However, there are pages and pages of conditions, which we are now wading through before we carefully consider our options and next steps.

You can find the documentation including all the conditions by going to: https://epbcpublicportal.awe.gov.au/all-notices/ by filtering for 2020/8704 and following the links.

All the original preliminary documentation is here: http://tinyurl.com/2382n6je if you would like to view it.
