  • Mr Daniel Iglesias Director Attention
    President – Christine Lawrence Vice-President – Cathy Banwell Secretary – Beth Stone Treasurer – Debbie Morrissey Mr Daniel Iglesias Director ACT Parks and Conservation Services Territory & Municipal Services Directorate Attention: Trish Bootes Canberra Nature Park Draft Reserve Management Plan 2016 The ACT Equestrian Association welcomes the opportunity to make the following early comments on the draft of the new Canberra Nature Park Reserve Management Plan. The Elephant in the Room While the Draft Management Plan states Recreational, community health and wellbeing objectives are integrated with nature conservation goals in management of the reserves. it does not really devote much space to considering what impact a massive amount of recreational pressure will have on the reserve system over the life of this Plan. In the year 2000 there were around 311,000 people in Canberra. The Territory is expected to hit 400,000 this year and to be gunning for 500,000 by 2036 when this Plan will be 20 years old. All these people will be looking for somewhere to recreate in their local environment. While a Parks and Conservation organisation legitimately expects the protection of the natural environment and at-risk ecological systems to be its main task, ignoring this reality is planning for the future by turning a blind eye. Recreation pressure will be a major issue for the Canberra Nature Park over the next couple of decades and zoning on a reserve by reserve basis is probably not a solution. The Present Level of Equestrian Access to Canberra Nature Park We welcome statements such as Canberra Nature Park reserves are also highly valued for nature appreciation and low key, nature based recreation including walking, running, dog walking, mountain biking, horse riding and group activities such as orienteering and rogaining.

Made up of series of remnant bush areas often associated with the suburb-fringing hills and ridges dotted around our city, CNP contributes to the character of Canberra as the ‘bush capital’ and provides an easily accessible escape from the rigours of city living. A feature of CNP is its wonderful diversity. From forested slopes to grassy plains, CNP contains many and varied landscapes and ecological communities. CNP provides habitat for several threatened plant and animal species including two significant endangered ecological communities, Natural temperate Grassland and Yellow Box/ Red Gum Grassy Woodland.
