  • TWWHA Walking Track Management Strategy 1994 Vol 1
    Walking Track Management Strategy for the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area Volume I Main Report January 1994 1 Summary The Walking Track Management Strategy is a strategy developed by the Tasmanian Parks & Wildlife Service for the management of walking tracks and walkers in and adjacent to the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area (WHA), in accordance with the recommendations of the World Heritage Area Management Plan. Key management issues in the region include the extensive deterioration of existing walking tracks and the unplanned development of new walking tracks in many areas. Campsite impacts, crowding, pollution and broadscale trampling damage to vegetation and soils are also creating serious problems in some areas. The Strategy has been prepared on the basis of an extensive literature survey and an inventory of tracks and track conditions throughout the WHA. Research has also been undertaken to assess usage levels, usage trends and user attitudes and characteristics throughout the WHA. The three-volume document includes: • a summary of the findings of the literature survey (section 2 and appendix B); • a description of the method used to compile the inventory of tracks and track conditions, and a summary of the findings of the inventory (section 3); • a summary of available information on usage levels, usage trends, user characteristics and attitudes and social impacts throughout the WHA (section 4 and appendix C); • an assessment of the opportunity spectrum for bushwalking in and adjacent to the WHA (section 5 and appendix

    23 Founded 1946 THE LAUNCESTON WALKING CLUB INC. “See Tasmania First” P. O. Box 273 LAUNCESTON TAS 7250 Patron : Helen Thyne President : Maria Moneypenny 23rd June 2020 VERSION 2 20-06-20 LAUNCESTON WALKING CLUB SUBMISSION TO THE DRAFT TWWHA TOURISM MASTER PLAN 2020 The Launceston Walking Club (LWC) was established in 1946 and is an affiliated Club of the peak organization, Bushwalking Tasmania (BWT). Most of the issues raised in the DTTMP could have been addressed by the TWWHA Management Plan 2016 (2016 Plan). A TWWHA Management Plan, not necessarily the 2016 one, would have been quite capable of guiding future public tourism development in the TWWHA. In our opinion, the premise of a DTTMP is to supplement private commercial tourism ventures in the TWWHA. We do not support private commercial development in the TWWHA, but we do support private commercial tourism development in peripheral areas outside the TWWHA provided it does not impinge on TWWHA values. The LWC made a submission to the Draft TWWHA Management Plan 2014 (2014 Draft Plan) which made our position quite clear. We reiterate our policy hereunder : 1. The LWC objects to any new private commercial accommodation for the exclusive use of clients, including private ‘wilderness lodges’ or any other private permanent structures including permanent standing camps or private exclusive use walker huts on the South Coast Track , Overland Track, Frenchmans Cap, Walls of Jerusalem, nor any other track or area in the TWWHA. Exceptions are maintenance, upgrade and replacement for existing private commercial walkers’ huts on the Overland Track. We stated that any major public PWS projects be restricted to the Visitor Services Zone.
