Planning Alpine National Parks 8-Dec-2009 At 8:03:16 AM gtempest

You are right Wendy, the WePlan site is a bit convoluted. However, this is the first time Parks Victoria have used this medium to attract public contributions to what is an important chapter in the current planning process of the Greater Alpine National Parks. Rockclimbers may be affected by decisions taken in this planning process and I urge anyone with an opinion to contribute to the WePlan site. The area of major concern to climbers is obviously Mt Buffalo. However, there are also other climbing areas that are encompassed within the proposed new boundaries of the Greater Alpine National Park. Mt Erica Rocks in the Baw Baw area and many of the wilder East Gippsland cliffs such as Little River Gorge and the Cobberas are of interest to some. I'm actually a member of the Alpine Advisory Committee and am representing the interests of recreational users (which includes climbers!).
