When Corporations rule, nothing of value matters, only profit...
EVERYTHING is connected.
Go and enjoy the 3.2-hectare Victoria Park/Pakapakanthi Wetlands today! while you still can. π¦ Take some time to visit this beautiful wetland and experience the wildlife in its natural, peaceful habitat.
Right now, birds are all loved up, nesting or building their nests and feeding and caring for their young. πͺΊβ€οΈ This is their home a place where they should be able to raise their babies without the noise, machinery, lights and disruption that major construction and motorsport events can bring.
The proposed MotoGP circuit will run through the Victoria Parklands- alongside, adjacent the Victoria Park wetlands - with the surrounding area expected to be taken over by event grandstands, infrastructure and closed to the public. The newly revealed project involves a 4.13 km circuit and the removal of nearly 400 trees. οΏΌ
