diversity of its landscapes and the cultural, natural and scenic values such landscapes hold. These values are important not only to the economy of the region but also for their role in defining the community and what it means to live there. The strong community activism and debate over approaches to the sustainable management of the resources in the Meander Valley in recent years indicates the strength of the community's attachment to these values. The Meander Valley Council is constantly seeking to improve its capacity to sustainably manage its resources and has been investigating a number of planning and management mechanisms (e.g. Natural Resource Management Strategy, Vegetation Management Strategy, Sport and Recreation Strategy). Past consultation processes have identified stakeholder concern with the loss of visual values in the Meander Valley and in particular the limited controls available to Council to protect areas of significant visual value from a range of threats. The major issues affecting the scenery of the municipality have been identified through the research and consultation processes as being: loss of native vegetation generally; the impact of increased plantation forestry; the loss or deterioration of key elements of the Meander Valley area cultural landscape; and the impacts of buildings, roads and other development. There is no formulated or agreed Statewide framework for the identification or assessment of scenic value in Tasmania, nor any models that are known to exist within Australia that have successfully tackled the management of scenic values at the local Council level in rural areas. Council recognised that an agreed framework would give some degree of certainty to all parties to the process and would help ensure that sustainability objectives are being met in a fair and orderly way. The current study has been undertaken for the Meander Valley Council

  • GREAT WESTERN TIERS and MEANDER VALLEY Destination Action Plan 2017-2020 June 2017 Acknowledgments
    GREAT WESTERN TIERS AND MEANDER VALLEY Destination Action Plan 2017-2020 June 2017 Acknowledgments The development of the Great Western Tiers and Meander Valley Destination Plan has been facilitated by Tourism Northern Tasmania with the support of the Department of State Growth. The process brought together representatives from all stakeholder groups that benefit from the visitor economy; local government, state government agencies, industry and the community, to develop a plan. This Plan seeks to identify the challenges and opportunities facing the Great Western Tiers and Meander Valley – and to establish achievable affordable priorities that if delivered would increase the competiveness of the destination.
