Major commercial development in national parks

I understand you have received the final report from the Victorian Competition and Efficiency Commission (VCEC) on 'Unlocking Victorian Tourism'.

I believe that your government now has six months to release the report and its response to the document.

I was concerned by some of the directions in the draft report, particularly the freeing up of controls and removal of regulatory barriers to commercial developments within parks.

I urge you and your government to rule out any major commercial development in national parks.

I support Victoria's widely respected Nature-based Tourism Strategy as a reasonable compromise: "Private development into any new large-scale facility, particularly accommodation other than adaptive re-use of existing infrastructure, should be sited outside of the park."
