Title: DSE SUBMISSION (What DSE are planning to do with our Forests!!!)
Post by: miami on August 21, 2008, 12,03:40 PM
I just got this information today (Passed on to me by a horse riding enthusiast) and I thought it was worth passing onto others. I have only just started riding my DRZ400 in the Toolangi state forest and am alarmed at what DSE are wanting to do. What will this mean to Bike riding and general enjoyment of our forests?

I'd like to copy the full email to someone at amtra but do not know who to send it to. Submissions against the proposal deadline is September 5th so if anyone wishes to voice there concerns they need to do some writing to DSE and very soon.

The DSE want to ban HORSE RIDING, CAMPING, DOG WALKING and even COMMERCIAL PHOTOGRAPHY in these areas.
Stevenson Falls, Thomson River, You Yangs, Murrindindi, Deletite, Sylvia Falls, Otway ranges, Cobboboonee, and Tarago and Yarra Tributies.  And get this "camping in state forest generally.
They also want to charge for car parking at these areas.

If you want to have the right to use these and other parks, I suggest you start writing letters.  The person responsible for the reviews is:
Bonnie Ryan
Policy Officer
Public Land Policy
DSE
P.O. Box 500
East Melbourne
Vic 3002
email.  recreation.regulations@dse.vic.gov.au

Hi,
The closest thing I've got relates to the existing regulations that are due to "sunset" April 2009. They cover the parks mentioned. DSE are conducting a review and drawing up new regulations. Public comment / objections needs to be in writing and posted to DSE by September 5th this year.

I've emailed Ian Robinson the full email I've recieved so hopefully he can post this information on the amtra website for all to see.
The closest I've got to a link is: http://www.legislation.vic.gov.au (http://www.legislation.vic.gov.au)
Look for links to the appropriate forrect / park regulations.


A regulatory impact statement (RIS) and regulations will be prepared and subject to the public consultation process. It is proposed that this consultation process will take place in November and December this year. Additional public comment will also be heard then. This information will be available from http://www.vcec.vic.gov.au (http://www.vcec.vic.gov.au)
