If your going to whinge, at least call them by thier real name- The Department of Environment and Conservation (me thinks) or DEC for short. LOL
Its sad that the management of parks is going this way, although the
water corp seem to be more proactive into the locking of parks and bushland due to
water catchment. Its a real catch 22, lock up an area, forces everyone to go to other areas, that area becomes overloaded and degraded, so that gets locked up and so on and so on.
A lot of lobyying is being undertaken by stakeholder groups at the moment, and much of it is ongoing. However my personal
views of some of the groups undertaking this lobbying is,
well, best kept to myself. Unfortunately, with most things, its a reactive process. A bit of forward thinking by government and stakeholder groups would, IMHO be more productive, and provide positive outcomes for all concerned.
As for who died and made them boss, it was your faithful state leaders back in 84 with the proclamation of the Conservation and Land Management Act of 1984. P.S. They're probably not all dead yet LOL
