Top Greens MP is bulldozing trees and vegetation to add three $1.5M luxury townhouses to her investment property portfolio - despite rare wildlife living on the land in prime koala habitat
A Greens senator is planning to bulldoze dozens of native trees and local flora around her investment property in order to build three luxury homes at the heart of one of the biggest koala habitats in the state.
The party's deputy leader Mehreen Faruqi and her husband will knock down 20 trees at her investment property in Port Macquarie on the northern NSW coast and subdivide it to build three double-storey townhouses.
The architecturally designed plans will require the removal of most of the trees at the property including a hollow-bearing tree, which provides a habitat for native animals, council documents said.
Ms Faruqi has previously been critical of past state governments allowing native forests to be logged and koala habitats to be cleared.
As a state upper house MP in 2016, she opposed the duplication of the Pacific Highway on the NSW north coast because a koala habitat would have been cleared.
