Victoria’s Great Outdoors Taskforce is seeking community feedback on “The future of Victoria’s state forests”.
The Victorian Government has established the Taskforce to consult with the community and provide recommendations on the management of state forests that were previously managed for timber production.
SSAA Victoria has been engaged with the taskforce and will continue to engage directly with them over the coming months.
The Taskforce has been tasked with
- identifying opportunities to protect the environment and support recreational, social and economic outcomes
- identifying opportunities for Traditional Owner management
- identifying areas of state forest where recommendations can be made now, and
- advising on where more partnership and engagement work needs to be done.
SSAA Victoria has been engaged with the taskforce and will continue to engage directly with them over the coming months.
The Taskforce has a consultation open on the Engage Victoria website now (closes 12 January 2025). SSAA Victoria encourages members and other active outdoor users to participate.
