Workers from Aldrich Timber continue clearing trees and bulldozing on the 14 acres of land in preparation for ground work on St. Rd. 200 on Tuesday February 11, 2014. The future home of Volkswagen dealership is being constructed by Magnum Construction Company.

Construction crews are clearing land on Southwest State Road 200 for the site of Gettel Automotive Group's new BMW, Porsche and Volkswagen dealership in Marion County.

The dealership currently operates at 3949 SW College Road and is planning to move 3 miles to the southwest, near Building Blocks of Ocala Preschool.

Marcobay Construction of Lakeland is the general contractor for the project, and a Marcobay official, who asked not to be identified, said the goal is to have the new location open by the end of 2014. Gettel officials, who did not return calls for comment, paid $4.5 million for almost 22 acres and told the Star-Banner in August 2012 the dealership was outgrowing its current home, which has six usable acres of land. About 5.5 acres in the new location will be used for Volkswagen, about 5 acres will be used for BMW, and about 3 acres will go for Porsche, with some 5 acres remaining for a possible additional line in the future, Gettel officials said in 2012.

PARIT BUNTAR: One of Malaysias biggest mangrove ecosystems is under threat as land clearing activities have begun at a patch near Kampung Kuala Gula.

At over 40,000ha, the Matang mangrove forest in Peraks Kerian district is the largest mangrove ecosystem in the peninsula, but it was subject to a series of land clearing activities last week.

Friends of Mangroves (FoM) chairman Zakaria Mohamed said about 6ha of mangroves had been cleared to pave way for the construction of a shrimp farm located about 30km from here.

The area is near the popular Kuala Gula bird sanctuary, where an estimated 200,000 birds stop over during the migration season between August and April every year.

What upsets us the most is seeing our efforts in rehabilitating the mangrove swamps go down the drain, Zakaria said.

Since the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, a heightened sense of awareness about the importance of mangroves has been ingrained in the locals, especially in the Kerian area, which was one of the coastal areas in Perak to be hit.

Villagers from Kampung Kuala Gula are concerned that the removal of the plot of mangroves from a swamp by the name of Teluk Rubiah here will lead to even more land clearing.

We have planted countless mangrove trees in the last seven years with the support of government agencies and other NGOs. But now, we do not know how much longer we can keep up with our endeavours, said Zakaria.

The 500ha Teluk Rubiah mangroves not to be confused with a bay with the same name near Sitiawan, also in Perak are 6km away from the village.

Besides migratory bird watching, the Kuala Gula area is well known for ecotourism, including village homestays, boat rides to observe mangroves, fireflies, cage culture farms, traditional fishermen at work, cockle culture and shrimp paste processing factories.

JAKARTA, Feb 12 (Bernama) -- At least three flight schedules were delayed in Riau of Sumatra due to poor feasibility incurred by haze from land clearing and the satellite observation shows a steep rise in the number of hot spots on Sumatra and Borneo islands, Xinhua news agency reported officials as saying here on Wednesday.

Several of the hot spots are located in forest conservation areas on the Sumatra island, including in the provinces of Riau, North Sumatra, Aceh, Jambi, and South Sumatra, Sutopo Purwo Nugroho, spokesman for the national disaster agency, said.

"The feasibility in Riau was less than 500 meters so that the flight witnessed disruption. Yesterday (Tuesday) three flight schedules of Garuda Indonesia, Lion Air and Air Asia were delayed, " he told Xinhua via phone.

According to a satellite observation, the hot spots scaled up and more than doubled to 470 on Tuesday on Sumatra and Borneo islands from 187 a day earlier, said Sutopo.

Indonesia has been battered by fires resulting from land clearing for new plantations since the 1990s, with haze caused enveloping neighboring Asean countries that hampered business spheres and incurred multi-billion US dollars of financial loss.

Indonesian authorities would take comprehensive measures, including using water bombs, modifying weather and enforcing law, to extinguish ongoing fires on Sumatra and Borneo islands in an effort to prevent a repeat of haze enveloping neighboring countries like years ago from happening, Sutopo said.

The condition of the dry season this year, which is forecast to be drier than in previous years, and weak El Nino, are threatening to exacerbate the spread of fire, he said.

ABC The expansion plan will make Woolnorth one of the largest grass-fed dairy operations in the world.

A $122 million dairy expansion at the Van Diemen's Land Company in north-west Tasmania has been given state approval.

VDL wants to double milk production at its Woolnorth property, creating 11 new dairy farms by converting beef operations and clearing land for another two.

The expansion plan will make Woolnorth one of the largest grass-fed dairy operations in the world.

The company has not yet announced investors for the project, but told shareholders late last year there were several interested parties.

Chief executive Mike Guerin says talks are progressing well.

"The sooner we can finish that equity raising obviously the better, it's a key part to this development program," he said.

The company has altered its land clearing plans after input from conservation groups.

Mr Guerin says planned native vegetation clearing has been reduced by half.

"We were thinking of clearing about half the remaining uncleared land on Woolnorth, or about 3,500 hectares," he said.

Residents irate over work on potential travellers site in Poole

5:40am Monday 10th February 2014 in News By Diana Henderson

CREEKMOOR residents are outraged after Borough of Poole began clearing land being considered for a controversial traveller stopping site, before it has gone before the planning committee.

Irate residents, who are complaining about a lack of consultation and democracy over the chosen sites, are more than ever convinced that the council has decided to forge ahead regardless.

Two possible sites on land at Marshes End, Creekmoor and off Broadstone Way have been put forward and planning permission for 12 pitches at the former site is due to be sought in March.

However council workmen have been spotted on the site clearing it of undergrowth although Borough of Poole denies that any construction work is underway.

Creekmoor resident Terry Hughes said: This deceitful and disgusting behaviour by our council makes me feel ashamed to be a Poole resident.

He said the council had caused great distress to many elderly residents and it was now becoming clear that, Creekmoor was always going to be the target for this, no matter what obstacles were going to be encountered.

Another Creekmoor resident Edward Webster said he was disappointed that work appeared to have been started without planning permission.

The application does not go to committee until next month so one assumes the outcome is already known, he said. I am told the work is to prevent birds nesting which would delay development.

FMT LETTER: From Ramakrishnan Ramasamy, via e-mail

The signboard at the entrance to the District Land office, stands forlorn, totally ignored by all around it. It has been standing there since 2008 proudly proclaiming the following:

Please be informed that all land applications for Grant titled land and Temporary Occupation Licenses have been frozen for the District of Cameron Highlands as per the decision made at the Exco Meeting Bil No 25/2008 on the 30th July 2008 for Temporary Occupation Licenses and Bil No 31/2008 on the 24th September 2008 for Grant titled land.

Anyone applying for new TOLs will be politely reminded of this decree. Even Menteri Besar Adnan Yaakob will use this to defend the state government whenever hes asked by the media to explain illegal land clearing. We have not issued any new TOLs since 2008.

In 2008 as a response to wanton land clearing, the State Government to its credit came up with this ruling. One would have thought that with this, illegal land clearing would be more manageable. But the opposite happened.

Looking back, how can the opposite not happen with so many wolves in sheeps clothing at the local Land Office? An equivalent proverb in Malay would be harapkan pagar, pagar makan padi. It was during this period that the word Flying TOLs or TOL Terbang was coined.

In accordance with the Land Conservation Act 1960, farmers in Cameron Highlands were given TOL or Temporary Occupation License to work their land .Most of these TOLs were for two acres or slightly more for a period of one year to be renewed annually.

However farmers tend to farm more than their stipulated area and most of these would be adjacent to their original plot. Back then there were still land which were below 25 degrees gradient and deemed suitable for farming. However from 2005 these suitable areas were mostly used up and that was when the State Government came up with the above ruling.

For earth works to commence land clearing permits have to be issued first. Land clearing permits have to be referenced to a particular TOL and can only be issued by the Land Administrator and the top ranking Land Administrator in Cameron Highlands is the District Officer.

Now assuming all the old TOLs were used up and no new TOLs issued, then there should logically be no new land cleared for farming. But instead there was an explosion of them mainly in Kampung Raja, Kuala Terla and Manson Valley.
