The Pinnacles, Eli Creek, Maheno Shipwreck, Indian Head, Champagne Pools, and Lake Wabby, located along the eastern coastline, were also unaffected.

The petition is asking Local Government Minister Steven Miles and Environment Minister Meaghan Scanlon to intervene to ensure the protection of the regionâs koalas and native plants and wildlife.
In an attached form letter addressed to Mr Miles by the sites creator, a âconcerned residentâ, the MP is being asked to intervene under Queensland legislation which allows for urgent or direct action to be taken to protect the stateâs interests. Protesters say the repeal leaves the region with insufficient protection for its flora and fauna. Pictures: Kristen Camp
The letter states without the TLPIs in place âinsufficient provisions in the Planning Scheme may significantly impactâ the regionâs biodiversity, coastal environment and water quality.
