Public Information Sessions will be held across the State to answer queries about the new draft management plan for the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area (TWWHA).
The Hodgman Liberal Government recognises there is significant community and stakeholder interest in the proposed management of the TWWHA and these sessions are part of an extensive consultation period to allow full consideration of the draft Plan.
The draft Plan was last month released for public comment and representations are required to be submitted by March 22, 2015.
The consultation period is an important part of the process of developing an effective management plan for the TWWHA and anyone with an interest in the management of the TWWHA is encouraged to make a representation.
The open Public Information Sessions will provide members of the public with the opportunity to understand the content of the plan, the representation process and the process required for the development of a final approved plan.
Members of the TWWHA Management Plan Project team will be available at three locations in the first week of March – in Hobart on Tuesday March 3, in Launceston on Thursday March 5 and in Deloraine on Friday March 6.
The Public Information Sessions will run between 10am and 3pm.
More information about the draft Plan, and the Public Information Sessions, including locations, is available on the Department of Primary Industries, Parks, Water and Environment’s website: www.dpipwe.tas.gov.au
