New orbit playground at port huon

The Council has endorsed the implementation of Stage One of the project. The main focus is the establishment of a legal operating entity to oversee operations at the centre.

The first all-inclusive Orbit playground equipment has been installed at Shipwrights Point Playground at Port Huon, the only one of its kind in Tasmania at the moment.

Once the management structure is finalised, the next step is establishment of a visitor information centre, gallery and museum spaces. For further information visit the News page on the Council website.

The initiative to install the Orbit in the Huon Valley came from Sally Doyle, President of the Port Huon Progress Association. Sally says this equipment will set the standard for future playgrounds for the disabled and access impaired in the community.

Council was proud to be involved and would like to thank Huon Aquaculture, L&S Doyle, Mitchell Plastic Welding, Huon Community Bank, Kermandie Hotel, Huon Yacht Club, Duggans, Michael and Toni Wilson and MLC Robert Armstrong for their support.

Council was honoured to be part of a small emotional ceremony at Cockle Creek yesterday commemorating the end of Brian Freeman’s walk down the east coast of Australia which began in Cape York on June 1. It took him 85 days to complete the 5,300-kilometre route on foot and by paddle.

    Environment Tasmania Response to QON 270213

    February 2012 Dear Chairman, RE: Legislative Council Select Committee on the Tasmanian Forests Agreement I am writing responding to the request from the Legislative Council Select Committee for further information on the conservation values of the proposed reserves for consideration under the Tasmanian Forests Agreement. In addition to the joint ENGO submission, the tabled documents and our two presentations to the legislative council, I am hoping that the following information may provide additional assistance. 1. The Independent Verification Group Conservation reports As previously referenced in our written and face-to-face presentations to the committee, the Independent Verification Group conducted a comprehensive and rigorous scientific analysis of the conservation values contained in the forests proposed for reservation by the ENGOs under the IGA. The conservation assessment was led by Professor Brendan Mackey and included work completed by a range of highly respected conservation experts, including Dr Michael Lockwood, Peter Hitchcock AM, Professor Chris Johnson, Dr Menna Jones, Dr Peter McQuillan, amongst others. These experts conducted a suite of conservation analyses of the proposed reserves against 10 key conservation criteria. The ten criteria (see Figure 1.) used by the IVG scientists to assess the conservation values of the proposed reserves are established in Australian Government forest, biodiversity and environmental conservation commitments as articulated in international law (Convention on Biological Diversity, World Heritage Convention), Commonwealth law and national policy statements. These include the ‘JANIS-CAR’ criteria, established in a 1997 report outlining the ‘Nationally Agreed Criteria for the Establishment of a Comprehensive Adequate and Representative Reserve System for Forests in Australia.’ JANIS-CAR is a formal methodology which reflects foundational conservation values which inform Australia’s National Biodiversity Strategy, the National Reserve System and Australia’s commitments under the Convention on Biological Diversity.

Unless otherwise specified, this plan adopts the interpretation of terms given in Section 3 of the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1970. The term ‘Minister’ when used in the plan means the Minister administering the Act. The term ‘PWS’ refers to the Parks and Wildlife Service. The draft of this plan [Draft Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area Management Plan 2000 (Altering the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area Management Plan 1999 in the Cockle Creek East Area)] was available for public comment from 18 November 2000 until 18 December 2000. As required by Section 20 of the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1970, the Director PWS has reported to the Resource Planning and Development Commission on this public comment. This plan is a modified version of the draft, having been varied to take account of public input during that period, advice from the Resource Planning and Development Commission, the views of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area Consultative Committee and the National Parks and Wildlife Advisory Council. Its approval was recommended on 21 December 2001 by the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area Ministerial Council under the joint management arrangement between the Tasmanian and Commonwealth Governments.
