Dear Sir,

I have been asked by members of the above association at our September 2012 General Meeting to write to you regarding the proliferation of Mangroves in Brisbane Water Central Coast. Photo's number 1 & 2 were taken from Brisbane Water Drive at Tascott. NSW during September 2012.

Our members are concerned that the proliferation of the Mangrove might become similar to that as shown in Photo's 3 & 4 taken from Brisbane Water Drive at Koolewong NSW during September 2012.

Members at our meeting expressed their concern at a loss of view over Brisbane Water should the spread of mangroves continue.

Any advice on the removal of these mangroves would be appreciated.

with regard,

The Management Committee

Grahame Orchard

Committee Member.
