The group 鈥淐onserve West Lake Macquarie Now鈥 is working with local government and lobbying the New South Wales government and a coal company to gazette the woodlands of West Lake Macquarie on the NSW central coast as a State Conservation Area.
The area is Crown land, some of it leased by local coal company Centennial Coal. This land will provide the final links for a 鈥済reen corridor鈥 from the Watagan Mountains to the shores of Lake Macquarie.
