Victoria opens consultation on future of state forestsFriday 22 Nov 2024
“Victoria is home to some of the most impressive forests in the world, and we want as many Victorians as possible to enjoy the great outdoors,” said Mr Dimopoulos. “We want to grow opportunities for Victorians to enjoy the outdoors and ensure our forests continue to attract visitors from across the globe to camp, bush walk, hunt, horse ride, BMX, four-wheel drive, walk their dogs, fish and more.” The Government established the Great Outdoors Taskforce earlier this year, to consult with the Victorian community and provide recommendations to government on the management of state forests in Gippsland, East Gippsland and the North East. “This is a landmark opportunity to open up 1.8 million hectares of Victoria’s native forests that were formerly used for native timber harvesting, with new opportunities for recreation and tourism, while also ensuring we protect the things Victorians love about the bush,” said Minister Dimopoulos.
