For the past two years we have held Toon Trust grant funding to replace the fence in the Ball Bay reserve. Following pressure from the graziers who were concerned that stock would be excluded from the reserve to the Minister Tim Sheridan; he and the Government made a decision to suspend the project pending new plans of management being done on all reserves. We successfully applied for 12 months extension as the plans of management were not complete. As they still werent done by the second year of holding funds; we had to apply for yet another extension but unfortunately we were knocked back and will have to return the funds to the Toon Trust. This is disappointing for us to say the least. Ball Bay Reserve is severely degraded and in need of urgent rehabilitation. It is truly a sad day for one of Norfolk's beautiful reserves.
