It is NOT set in concrete yet and they are open to suggestions at this stage. The TRVA executive will listen to their arguments and formulate a response based on this. All the good stuff you guys are doing out there helps. Don't forget to phone your local Member and give him/her your thoughts! They don't like voters calling them up and giving them heaps--it makes them very nervous! Go get yourselves a copy of the Draft management Plan and study what is being proposed-it will help your arguments.

Thanks // Nice work Pat

Keep us posted on the news

Everyone needs to get a copy of the draft management plan and study it. Then respond to it no later than the 30 sept sending responses to


Director of national parks and wildlife
GPO Box 1751 Hobart 7001

The more responses the better.
Everyone who responds with merit will then be invited to attend a public forum.

Spread the word.

The TRVA Southern Executive met with Parks senior Planner Gary Willmott last Wednesday and had a frank and open meeting. They realise that this is a hot potato issue and fully expect users to be pissed off. They expect that their proposed Plan will go to the Planning Board and thus will hear submissions from user groups etc. over their proposed plans. I can only stress that you contact your local pollies and bash their ears bigtime over this one. It is generally considered that the personal contact of one voter to a pollie is equal to the opinions of 100 voters!!! So if you really care follow this advice PLEASE! Petition signing is good too but personal contact is the way to go, trust me. The proposed closure will not come into effect until possibly summer of 2006 or later. We are leaning towards the alternative track that parallels the existing tracks to the Spit but must stress that nothing is decided yet.

Black Swan lagoon will fall under the same Management regime as the main track from their point of view--i.e. they would like it closed. I guess from the point of view of trying to keep a low profile (us) it would be better to leave Black Swan alone as Recherche is getting a lot of attention from other groups lately and it is quite close. But , the decision is yours.

the best tracks should be used, ie pig pen, and the marsh should be closed off to let it recover, dont see why going to black swan should hurt, it is mostly compacted sand tracks and single tracks at that. doesnt make sense to just close the whole lot off :x

Most of the tracks leading in to the Black Swan Camp site are well formed and on the ridge line only with a few problem holes to cross, and if the sty or forestry road was used it would reduce the dammage down there 10 fold, with just a bit of work in the holes....... The camp site at Black Swan is also much larger and environmentally less dammageable by campers I would not like to see this place ruled out as an option.

Any other Ideas or thoughts?

TRVA ( 4WD Tas.) will be placing their submission with Parks on Tuesday. We have worked long and hard on this issue,contrary to what one tosser has said on this thread, and since Parks do not seem all that confident of getting their Plan up, we hope we can have a considerable influence on them.

was a great couple of weekends hey gav

There were a lot of vehicles having a lot of trouble both weekends and this was mostly due to under prepared vehicles and lack of proper recovery gear. A couple of Pics of the vehicles that were well prepared and had little trouble.
