Stop hill cutting or face action
Kota Kinabalu: The Land and Survey Department has advised the owner of 12 Country Lease (CL) titled land at Kg Togudon in Penampang, who are currently doing hill cutting there, to stop the activity or face action.
Its Director Datuk Osman Jamal said the department's investigations made following a complaint, which was also published in the Daily Express on Monday, showed that the owner concerned does not have an approval to carry out hill-cutting.
He said the department's record shows the landowner had never submitted an application to carry out hill cutting to the department for approval and thus the department had never issued any approval for the activity.
"Our check showed there is a hill-cutting activity involving the 12 CL titled land area.
But the department has never issued an approval to the landowner to carry out the said activity, so I advise the landowner to so do immediately or face legal action," he said when met at his office in Wisma Tanah and Ukur, here Tuesday.
Osman said the department, through the Penampang Land and Survey Office, will issue a stop work order to the landowner today (Wednesday).
He said if the landowner fails to comply, action would be taken against him under the State Land Ordinance.
On the issue of a quarry project at Kg Notoruss in Babagon, Osman explained that actually until today there is no quarry activity at the said site but only land clearing activity.
This was based on an inspection conducted by the Penampang Land and Survey Office at the said site on Aug 17.

Construction equipment for land clearing was brought onto the site of the future home of a new shopping center at High School Road and Highway 305 just before 9 a.m. Wednesday morning.
Access to ProBuild, a building materials store, was limited as workers in orange-safety vests and hand-held stop signs restricted traffic through the property where the shopping center will be built.
Visconsi, an Ohio-based development company, received a clearing permit last week from the city of Bainbridge Island. The company had hoped to begin the selective removal of trees Monday from the 8.14-acre site where the shopping center will be built, but the land instead became ground zero in a much publicized demonstration against Visconsi and the new shopping center.
The demonstration was led by Chiara DAngelo, who climbed 70 feet up a Douglas fir on the property and camped out on a raised platform roped to the tree for two days. DAngelo concluded her demonstration Tuesday night and left the property just before 9 p.m.
Visconsi officials could not be immediately reached for comment Wednesday morning.

ON Peter Yench's sheep farm the bulldozers are ready. When they surge forward, trees will be ripped from the earth, clearing the land for grazing and crops.

ON Peter Yench's sheep farm the bulldozers are ready. When they surge forward, trees will be ripped from the earth, clearing the land for grazing and crops.
Elsewhere another vast stretch of sparse, dry native forest stands on Mr Yench's land. It is hardly the Daintree, but like all forests it is a sink for carbon dioxide. If it too is brought down then the CO2 stored in the trees will be released, exacerbating climate change.
Mr Yench holds a permit to clear on his western NSW properties, Bulgoo Station and The Meadows. Traditionally the more land a grazier could clear the more sheep they could run, bolstering their economic return.
Reminded of an old farming adage that "the only good tree is a dead tree", Mr Yench smiles in recognition, but retorts: "yeah, but that's not right".
"You got to have both, your balanced country. That's the way I look at it."
Instead of clearing everything, Mr Yench has promised to keep almost 7000 hectares of forest on Bulgoo standing for 100 years. In exchange he receives carbon credits under the federal government's Carbon Farming Initiative. It has proved a healthy alternative revenue stream.
Quietly, another 30-odd landowners in western NSW have promised to do the same or are exploring the option. Like Mr Yench, many are based around the mining and grazing town Cobar. It has quickly become an unlikely national centre for carbon farming.

Published August 14, 2014
LOUISVILLE, Ky. Workers are clearing land in northern Kentucky to build a long-stalled tourist attraction featuring Noah's Ark.
Ken Ham, head of the Christian ministry Answers in Genesis, posted video of the excavation work on his Facebook page this week.
It is the first sign of large-scale construction activity at the site in Grant County since controversial plans for the 510-foot long biblical ark were announced by Answers in Genesis in 2010. The project had been delayed when private donations did not keep pace with the construction timeline.
Answers in Genesis said in a news release that the project also recently secured a federal permit that is allowing construction to proceed. Last month, a state tourism board gave preliminary approval for up to $18 million in tax rebates for the ark attraction.

Land clearing to entice bats away from houses

REDLAND City Council will start clearing land housing a bat colony in Lawn Terrace, Capalaba, tonight.
The work, expected to be completed by this Friday, will start 10 days after the federal government issued the council a permit for the work.
The federal permit, known as a "referral decision", was issued on Tuesday (August 5) and allows the council to "nudge" black and grey-headed flying foxes away from houses by clearing scrub bordering nearby Valentine Park.
However, exasperated Lawn Terrace resident Lyn Sloane said it was imperative the council did not miss an August 16 deadline to move the colony before the bat breeding season.
Ms Sloane said she was delighted the works would finally start after three years of being driven batty.
