Maria Island Management Plan – Changes to Draft
Is that usual? Do you expect to make many changes to the document that you are presented with by your experts in Parks?

Why has the draft review of the Maria Island Management Plan been sitting on your desk for more than six months? This was a review that commenced almost four years ago.
The Tasmanian Greens have written to UNESCO highlighting the failures of the Australian and Tasmanian governments to properly manage the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area.
Minister, I'm enjoying this conversation in a strange way we're having about climate. This goes again to a similar question of resourcing.
Honourable Speaker, I rise tonight because it is time that this House had the discussion on the restoration of Lake Pedder. It would be globally celebrated and it has been internationally called for by bodies such as the IUCN.
Mr President, this is just a quick follow-up question to the Minister for Parks and the Environment. You made reference to the resourcing for Parks and you said they are resourced sufficiently for a typical fire season. What happens? What are the arrangements should this fire season turn out to be atypical?
This is a follow-up question following our conversation in this Chamber yesterday. Does the minister have more information relating to the coming fire season in the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area and reserve lands, and possibly some more information on what kind of fire conditions our emergency services and Parks is expecting this season?
What can Tasmanians who will be visiting parks and the TWWHA (Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area) in coming months and over summer best do to make sure the risk of an accidentally lit fire within the TWWHA is mitigated to the greatest extent possible?
Minister, I will just remind you that Reg Hall managed to maintain his hut without a helicopter.
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.
