Support the court challenge to save Arm End Reserve: Save Arm End Nature Recreation Reserve and the Spotted Handfish before it’s too late! We urgently need your help to protect this precious land and its unique wildlife. The Arm End Nature Recreation Area, located in beautiful Tasmania, is under threat from a Victorian-based developer who wants to build a private golf course, clubhouse, and infrastructure on public land. This construction would cause significant harm to one of the last remaining populations of the critically endangered spotted handfish. Donate to save arm end now.
The Tasmanian Conservation Trust (TCT) has commenced legal proceedings in the Supreme Court to have the golf course permit invalidated. But we can’t do it alone. We need your support to fund this vital legal battle. Every dollar you donate will help us fight for the survival of this precious reserve and the handfish. Arm End is a beloved natural area that sits at the mouth of the Derwent estuary. It is loved by local residents and visitors with breathtaking views across the Derwent to Bruny Island and kunanyi/ Mt Wellington. The peninsula is home to at least a dozen sites significant to Tasmania Aboriginal community and is formally reserved as the Gellibrand Point Nature Recreation area, adjacent to the Opossum Bay Marine Conservation Area. This area is also the breeding habitat for one of the last remaining populations of the critically endangered spotted handfish. We estimate that the legal battle could cost us up to $100,000. But we can’t let this developer destroy this beautiful and culturally significant land. We urge you to make a tax-deductible donation to the Tasmania Conservation Trust today. Together, we can save Arm End Nature Recreation Reserve and the Spotted Handfish from destruction.
