Minister, I will just remind you that Reg Hall managed to maintain his hut without a helicopter.
In the other place you backed in the Halls Island Helicopter Tourism Proponent who has deliberately neglected our precious high-country heritage.
Minister for Parks Nick Duigan today doubled-down on the Liberals’ support for the Lake Malbena proposal, despite new evidence emerging that the developer’s excuses for neglecting the Heritage-listed Hall’s Hut are false.
The federal Environment department was indeed waiting for the Lake Malbena proponent to provide additional material requested in 2023.
Heritage Tasmania, Parks, and ministers have been asked to step up and save the heritage-listed Halls Hut at Lake Malbena.
Heritage listed Halls Hut sits in the middle of a little island today identified as Halls Island on the idyllic Lake Malbena.
Even though we have seen two premiers and countless ministers move on since then, the Lake Malbena proposal still hangs over us.
Yesterday, the federal Environment department requested more information from Wild Drake in order to full assess the proposed development at Lake Malbena.
Deputy Speaker, I rise tonight to talk about our fabulous wild places and their protection in lutruwita/Tasmania.
