I am very pleased to see that with the approval of the EIS for the Aquis resort (for better or worse) that the specific recommendations I put forward have been adopted by the Qld Auditor General is his
evaluation Report.
The conditions for approval are heavily centred on reducing the obtrusive effects of outdoor lighting (see page 16 & the conclusion particularly)
I would like to encourage others to do the same when a major development is proposed for their area. This is particularly important with the proposals for gas developments in the Coonabaraban area that could affect the very existence of professional astronomy in Australia.
