Anyway, it's a good article, thanks for sharing. Here's what I think is the most interesting bit.

Despite numerous recent environmental vandalisms, you can still find koalas and even echidna within 5 or 6 kilometres of our city centre. If we added denser native vegetation to urban parks, and slowed down cars in certain areas, we could feasibly return many other charismatic species like potaroos, bandicoots and goannas to the inner-city. Maybe by planting more eucalypts along Enoggera Creek, perhaps one day we could even connect the koalas in Alderley’s Banks Street Reserve right through to Barrambin?

The river – our biggest wildlife corridor – is also part of this story. Dolphins are regularly spotted cruising past the CBD, and Maiwar’s periodic bioluminescence is a magical spectacle (which, sadly, many locals don’t even know about due to excessive riverfront light pollution). If we focus on revegetating upstream creek banks and preventing construction site sediment run-off, we could have a river that’s clean enough to swim in by 2032 (presumably with a couple enclosures to keep the bull sharks out).
