[QUOTE="drystone, post: 437882, member: 8097"] Hi all, I have just waded through much of the VEAC Central West Investigation Draft Proposal (just the title is long-winded). :zzz: From what I can gather, proposed land uses are weighted on how many threatened species/relict plant communities are to be found and the perceived pressures likely to be faced in the future (expanding population, hotter/drier climate etc) As a previous post mentions, the biggest potential loser in this will be hunters, followed by wood cutters, followed by recreational prospectors. For a quick pass, the permitted activities have been summarised in a couple of tables in the draft: [url]http://veac.vic.gov.au/investigation/central-west-investigation/reports?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Central%20West%20Investigation%20-%20Community%20Forums%20and%20Submissions%20Invited&utm_content=Central%20West%20Investigation%20-%20Community%20Forums%20and%20Submissions%20Invited+CID_ae701cab57641013ef135358ddd59b24&utm_source=Email%20marketing%20software&utm_term=Draft%20Proposals%20Paper[/url] table 5.4, page 105, table 7.2, page 143 It appears that National parks, Conservation parks and Nature Reserves will not allow prospecting, however Regional Parks, Bushland and Historic Reserves and State Forest will allow it. One of the proposals is to join some Parks together, and expand others to allow for better "connectivity" which does help flora and fauna cope with pressure. that's the "take" bit. :/ One of the other proposals is to create a couple of additional (new?) Regional parks which allow for a broad range of recreational activities, including prospecting. that's the "give" bit. :| Being Tassie based, what I don't know is whether the new regional parks are worth a cracker or whether they exist already, just under a different flag. Either way we are watching with interest as what happens in Vic can then be used as a template for other states, cheers, Andrew (PMAT member) [/QUOTE]
