No Great Forest National Park for Victoria
Victoria’s state government has ruled out the establishment of what was proposed as the Great Forest National Park, which was to reach from Kinglake to Lake Eildon, Healesville to Mt Baw Baw. Source: Timberbiz Victorian Government Minister for Environment, Steve Dimopoulos said at an Electrical Trades Union Victorian Branch conference last week that the Great Forest National Park proposal was not part of government policy. That park would have tripled the area of the central highlands to be protected. Minister Dimopoulos stated that the only parks that the government is currently considering is three national parks at Mount Buangor, The Pyrenees and Wombat-Lederberg, which were announced in 2021. Polling conducted by RedBridge shows four in five Victorians support the creation of new national parks, with lower-income households among the most frequent park visitors due to their affordability, safety, and accessibility. The Eminent Panel for Community Engagement (EPCE) assembled a report, which is now complete, but is has not been made public. It led conversations with the Victorian community on the Immediate Protection Areas and surrounding state forests. To date a formal statement has not been made by Mr Dimopoulos or the Victorian Government regarding this decision only Field and Game Australia (FGA) and the Victorian National Parks Association (VNPA) has issued any statements regarding this.
