The Total Environment Centre (TEC) has criticised biodiversity certification for development of Sydney’s northwest and south-west growth centres, saying that it is seriously flawed, contains inadequate scientific assessment, and will result in loss of valuable native vegetation.
TEC urban campaigner Mr Leigh Martin said "The process approved by the NSW government will result in the loss of 1,867ha of high and medium conservation value native vegetation. This is a major impact on an already severely depleted resource in Western Sydney”.
