Cable Car over Mt Wellington's Organ Pipes |

Here is an image showing the proposed addition to the Pinnacle Specific Area which, if approved, will open the door for a cable car directly over the Organ Pipes. The green polygon shows the proposed expansion; the red line is the route of the cable car; the red circle is the terminus (which will actually be an enormous structure) and the red triangle represents the 36 metre high tower that will support the cable:
Now is the time for anyone who cares to make a representation to the WPMT. This page has links to the proposal to amend the PSA and to various forms that you can you use to make a submission:
http://www.wellingtonpark.org.au/draft-amending-plan/
Some points you might make:
# environmental impact on a sensitive sub-alpine environment
# severe impingement on the climbing experience
# hydrologic concerns that any further development in the area will disrupt the water table, decreasing or polluting the springs that emerge lower down and affecting the stability of rock structures
# any buildings closer to the top of the Organ Pipes will restrict climbers' access for recreation and rescue
# increased risk of the general public easily accessing the top of the cliff with the resultant safety issues: we've already had problems with people throwing rocks down on climbers - this would only increase
# incalculable potential damage by any blasting in the construction of foundations needed for buildings erected closer to the cliff edge
You've got a month to put in a representation but the sooner the better!
Thanks and regards
